In this paper we address the basic problem of computing minimal finite free resolutions of homogeneous submodules of graded free modules over polynomial rings. We develop a strategy, which keeps the resolution minimal at every step. Among the relevant benefits is a marked saving of time, as the firs

✦ Synopsis
We use Mayer-Vietoris trees to obtain the multigraded Betti numbers of monomial ideals without computing their minimal free resolutions. This method provides not only a competitive algorithm for such computations but also a new tool for the analysis of the homological structure of monomial ideals. Using Mayer-Vietoris trees we obtain new results for several families of monomial ideals and new proofs of known results for other families.

In the present paper we study algorithms based on the theory of Gröbner bases for computing free resolutions of modules over polynomial rings. We propose a technique which consists in the application of special selection strategies to the Schreyer algorithm. The resulting algorithm is efficient and,
