Hardness for Gröbner basis, Syzygy and ideal membership problem
摘要
Mayr and Meyer considered the ideal membership problem and showed that it is Expspace hard. In order to prove the hardness result, Mayr and Meyer introduced a class of polynomials that can exactly count double exponential value. This set of polynomials were later used by Huynh to show hardness for reduced Gröbner basis and by Bayer and Stillman to show hardness for syzygy. In this article, we will present these results along with the proof ideas involved, in a simplified form. In particular, our proofs for hardness of Gröbner basis and syzygy are different from the existing proofs.
