On the Stanley depth and size of monomial ideals

Abstract

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field and $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,...,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over the field $\mathbb{K}$. For every monomial ideal $I\subset S$, We provide a recursive formula to determine a lower bound for the Stanley depth of $S/I$. We use this formula to prove the inequality $\mathrm{sdepth}(S/I)\ge \mathrm{size}(I)$ for a particular class of monomial ideals.
