摘要
Computing the complexity of Markov bases is an extremely challenging problem; no formula is known in general and there are very few classes of toric ideals for which the Markov complexity has been computed. A monomial curve C in A(3) has Markov complexity m(C) two or three. Two if the monomial curve is complete intersection and three otherwise. Our main result shows that there is no d is an element of N such that m(C) <= d for all monomial curves C in A(4). The same result is true even if we restrict to complete intersections. We extend this result to all monomial curves in A(n), where n >= 4. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
