Elimination theory is the study of necessary and sufficient conditions for polynomial equations (E) to have solutions.In the homogeneous case, if the number of variables is equal to the number of equations, this leads to the study of the Resultant (polynomial in the coefficients of (E), obtained by "eliminating" the variables ). In the general case, one get a Resultant ideal, generated by polynomial relations in the coefficients of the equations (E).

Resultants and elimination theory

Consider an ideal $I = \langle f_1,\dotsc,f_n\rangle$ in the ring $k[x_1,\dotsc,x_m]$. Define the $i$-th elimination ideal to be $I_i = I \cap k[x_{i+1},\dotsc,x_m]$. For any two polynomials $f$ and $ …
