Abstract

We show that a comprehensive Boolean Gröbner basis of an ideal I in a Boolean polynomial ring B \((\bar A,\bar X)\) with main variables \(\bar X\) and parameters \(\bar A\) can be obtained by simply computing a usual Boolean Gröbner basis of I regarding both \(\bar X\) and \(\bar A\) as variables with a certain block term order such that \(\bar X \gg \bar A\). The result together with a fact that a finite Boolean ring is isomorphic to a direct product of the Galois field \(\mathbb{GF}_2\) enables us to compute a comprehensive Boolean Gröbner basis by only computing corresponding Gröbner bases in a polynomial ring over \(\mathbb{GF}_2\). Our implementation in a computer algebra system Risa/Asir shows that our method is extremely efficient comparing with existing computation algorithms of comprehensive Boolean Gröbner bases.
