Hi everyone, I'm computing the Groebner basis of an ideal defined over the QQ ring. Once I have this Groebner basis, I would like to obtain a set of values that satisfy the equations in the Groebner basis. I know that the full set is going to be the variety of the ideal, but since this object is huge, I might not be interested in finding those values. In Maple, after computing the Groebner basis, I'm able to call the solve() method on it and even set a maximum number of solutions I want to obtain. As a small example:
P.<x,y,z,t>=PolynomialRing(QQ,4)
I = P.ideal(x*(x-1), y*(y-1), z*(z-1), t - x*y*z)
gb = I.groebner_basis()
Here I could have called I.variety() or gb.variety() and obtained the same set of solutions:
sage: gbI.variety()
[{y: 0, z: 0, t: 0, x: 0},
{y: 0, z: 0, t: 0, x: 1},
{y: 1, z: 0, t: 0, x: 0},
{y: 1, z: 0, t: 0, x: 1},
{y: 0, z: 1, t: 0, x: 0},
{y: 0, z: 1, t: 0, x: 1},
{y: 1, z: 1, t: 0, x: 0},
{y: 1, z: 1, t: 1, x: 1}]
But I would like to know if it is possible to call a method like (I can do this in Maple):
solve(gb,[max_sol=2])
Such that I can obtain a subset of the variety instead of the whole set. My motivation is that the size of the initial system of polynomials that I have is considerably larger than this example, and finding the feasible solutions on the reduced Groebner basis is more manageable. I might also not be interested in all the elements in the variety. Finally, if I transform the Groebner basis in an ideal itself and try to compute the variety on that object
gbI = ideal(gb)
gbI.variety()
I find the following error
RuntimeError: error in Singular function call 'groebner':
