A jump system is a set of lattice points satisfying a certain exchange axiom. This notion was introduced by Bouchet and Cunningham [2], as a common generalization of (among others) the sets of bases of a matroid and degree sequences of subgraphs of a graph. We prove, under additional assumptions, a min-max formula for the distance of a lattice point from a jump system. The conditions are met in the examples above, and so our formula contains, as special cases, Tutte's f-factortheorem and Edmonds' matroid intersection theorem.

Let X be a non-commutative monoid with term order; let R be a commutative, unital ring; let I be an ideal in the non-commutative polynomial ring R X ; and let f ∈ R X . In this setting the problem of determining whether f ∈ I is studied. In a manner analogous to the commutative case, see , weak Gröb
