“…If I is zero dimensional, there are well-known methods for computing √ I. For an ideal of positive dimension, various algorithms computing √ I have been proposed (Wu, 1984;Gianni et al, 1988;Krick and Logar, 1991;Eisenbud et al, 1992;Wang, 1993;Armendáriz and Pablo, 1995;Caboara et al, 1997;Wang, 1998). All of them successfully compute the radical of an ideal when the characteristic is sufficiently large (or 0).…”
