Computation of dominant ideals

Abstract

We consider the problem of determining whether a monomial ideal is dominant. This property is critical for determining for which monomial ideals the Taylor resolution is minimal. We first analyze dominant ideals with a fixed least common multiple of generators using combinatorial methods. Then, we adopt a probabilistic approach via the \er\ type model, examining both homogeneous and non-homogeneous cases. This model offers an efficient alternative to exhaustive enumeration, allowing the study of dominance through small random samples, even in high-dimensional settings.
