TL;DR
This paper tackles the problem of constructing a provably irredundant, sufficient set of integrability conditions for orthonomic PDE systems. It introduces a reduction subsystem $\Sigma'$ of the infinitely prolonged system $\Sigma^\infty$ and a canonical framework for identifying substantial integrability conditions via monomial ideals and the principal subsets $\mathcal{X}^k_\mu$, yielding a finite, irredundant set. The authors prove that, when these conditions are satisfied, the reduced system is passive and equivalent to the full prolongation, endowing the jet space with a diffiety structure. They provide concrete algorithms to compute first- and second-kind integrability conditions and establish irredundancy across a broad class of systems, with practical advantages over previous syzygy-based approaches. The work also analyzes cross-derivatives and the poset of nontrivial cross-derivatives, offering combinatorial insight and guiding efficient implementations for large-scale, overdetermined PDE computations.
Abstract
Every orthonomic system of partial differential equations is known to possess a finite number of integrability conditions sufficient to ensure the validity of all. Herewith we offer an efficient algorithm to construct a sufficient set of integrability conditions free of redundancies.
