Publisher's Synopsis
This textbook for invariant theory and research monograph that introduces a new approach to the algorithmic side of invariant theory. The Groebner-based method is the main tool by which the central problems in invariant theory become amenable to algorithmic solutions.;Students should find the book useful as an introduction to this classical and new area of mathematics. Researchers in mathematics, symbolic computation and computer science should get access to a wealth of research ideas, hints for applications, outlines and details of algorithms, worked-out examples and research problems.
