Monomial AlgebrasAuthor(s): Rafael H. Villarreal\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781138894181, 978-1138894181\nSynopsis\nMonomial Algebras, Second Edition presents algebraic, combinatorial, and computational methods for studying monomial algebras and their ideals, including StanleyReisner rings, monomial subrings, Ehrhart rings, and blowup algebras. It emphasizes square-free monomials and the corresponding graphs, clutters, or hypergraphs. \n\nNew to the Second Edition\n\nFour new chapters that focus on the algebraic properties of blowup algebras in combinatorial optimization problems of clutters and hypergraphs\nTwo new chapters that explore the algebraic and combinatorial properties of the edge ideal of clutters and hypergraphs \nFull revisions of existing chapters to provide an up-to-date account of the subject\n\nBringing together several areas of pure and applied mathematics, this book shows how monomial alge.
