Involutive
The Maple package Involutive implements the involutive basis technique of V. P. Gerdt and Y. A. Blinkov for ideals of polynomial rings and more generally for submodules of free modules over a polynomial ring. It also provides an interface to a C++ implementation of the involutive basis technique and to ginv.
Involutive computes Janet bases and Janet-like Gröbner bases. The coefficient domain for the polynomial ring may be any field existing in Maple or can be chosen to be the ring of rational integers. Among the monomial orderings which are available in Involutive are the degree reverse lexicographical one, the pure lexicographical one, block orderings and their extensions to "term over position" and "position over term" orderings in the case of modules. Four involutive criteria are implemented to avoid unnecessary reductions during involutive basis computations.
For more details, cf. [Blinkov et al. 2003] and [Robertz 2007].

- All Involutive help pages in one ps / pdf file: involutive_manual.ps, involutive_manual.pdf
After downloading the Maple package, you can follow the installation guide below.
After installing Involutive, it would be helpful if you could send us a short e-mail which explains for what purpose Involutive is beneficial for you and which Maple version you use.
If you encounter any problem with Involutive, don't hesitate to contact us.
Installing Involutive
- Copy the Involutive library files "Involutive.ind", "Involutive.lib" and the Involutive help data base "Involutive.hdb" for your Maple version (see download) into a directory called "Involutive".
- Type
libname;
in Maple. - Write
libname := "the global path of the above directory Involutive", the result of step 2: - Try
with(Involutive);
Moreover, help pages are available for the functions of Involutive, see ?Involutive.
If you encounter a problem, then most probably the definition of libname in step 3 is wrong in the sense that its value does not point to the correct directory where your library files reside. - (optional) Copy the binary program file "JB" into a directory which is included in the variable $PATH. The Involutive commands invoking this program are InvolutiveBasisFast, PolInvReduceFast, SyzygyModuleFast, and GroebnerBasisFast.
A reasonable way to check your installation is to run some examples from the Involutive help pages.
If you still have problems concerning the installation of Involutive, please contact us.
