./msolve -f [FILE1] -o [FILE2]

FILE1 and FILE2 are respectively the input and output files

Standard options

-f FILE  File name (mandatory).

-h       Prints this help. -o FILE  Name of output file. -t THR   Number of threads to be used.

Default: 1.

-v n     Level of verbosity, 0 - 2

0 - no output (default). 1 - global information at the start and

end of the computation.

2 - detailed output for each step of the

algorithm, e.g. matrix sizes, #pairs, ...

- first line: variables separated by a comma - second line: characteristic of the field - next lines provide the polynomials (one per line),

separated by a comma (no comma after the final polynomial)

Output file format: When there is no solution in an algebraic closure of the base field [-1]: Where there are infinitely many solutions in an algebraic closure of the base field: [1, nvars, -1,[]]: Else: Over prime fields: a rational parametrization of the solutions When input coefficients are rational numbers: real solutions to the input system (see the -P flag to recover a parametrization of the solutions) See the msolve tutorial for more details (https://msolve.lip6.fr)

Advanced options:

-F FILE  File name encoding parametrizations in binary format.

-g GB    Prints reduced Groebner bases of input system for

first prime characteristic w.r.t. grevlex ordering. One element per line is printed, commata separated. 0 - Nothing is printed. (default) 1 - Leading ideal is printed. 2 - Full reduced Groebner basis is printed.

-c GEN   Handling genericity: If the staircase is not generic

enough, msolve can automatically try to fix this situation via first trying a change of the order of variables and finally adding a random linear form with a new variable (smallest w.r.t. DRL) 0 - Nothing is done, msolve quits. 1 - Change order of variables. 2 - Change order of variables, then try adding a

random linear form. (default)

Given an input file with k polynomials compute the quotient of the ideal generated by the first k-1 polynomials with respect to the kth polynomial.

-e ELIM  Define an elimination order: msolve supports two

blocks, each block using degree reverse lexicographical monomial order. ELIM has to be a number between 1 and #variables-1. The basis the first block eliminated is then computed.

-I       Isolates the real roots (provided some univariate data)

without re-computing a Gröbner basis Default: 0 (no).

1 - exact sparse / dense 2 - exact sparse (default)

42 - sparse / dense linearization (probabilistic) 44 - sparse linearization (probabilistic)

-m MPR   Maximal number of pairs used per matrix.

Default: 0 (unlimited).

-n NF    Given n input generators compute normal form of the last NF

elements of the input w.r.t. a degree reverse lexicographical Gröbner basis of the irst (n - NF) input elements. At the moment this only works for prime field computations. Combining this option with the "-i" option assumes that the first (n - NF) elements generate already a degree reverse lexicographical Gröbner basis.

-p PRE   Precision of the real root isolation.

Default is 32.

-P PAR   Get also rational parametrization of solution set.

Default is 0. For a detailed description of the output format please see the general output data format section above.

-q Q     Uses signature-based algorithms.

Default: 0 (no).

-r RED   Reduce Groebner basis.

Default: 1 (yes).

-s HTS   Initial hash table size given

as power of two. Default: 17.

Given an input file with k polynomials compute the saturation of the ideal generated by the first k-1 polynomials with respect to the kth polynomial.

-u UHT   Number of steps after which the

hash table is newly generated. Default: 0, i.e. no update.
