Asymptotic behaviour of standard bases

Abstract

We prove here that the elements of any standard basis of $I^n$, where $I$ is an ideal of a Noetherian local ring and $n$ is a positive integer, have order bounded by a linear function in $n$. We deduce from this that the elements of any standard basis of $I^n$ in the sense of Grauert-Hironaka, where $I$ is an ideal of the ring of power series, have order bounded by a polynomial function in $n$.
