Overview:
The algorithm of Cerlienco-Mureddu [Marinari M.G., Mora T., A remark on a remark by Macaulay or Enhancing Lazard Structural Theorem. Bull. of the Iranian Math. Soc., 29 (2003), 103-145] associates to each ordered set of points A:={a1,...,as} in K^n, ai:=(ai1,...,ain)
- a set of monomials N and
- a bijection phi: A --> N.
Here I(A):={f in K[x(1),...,x(n)] | f(ai)=0, for all 1<=i<=s} denotes the vanishing ideal of A and N = Mon(x(1),...,x(n)) {LM(f)|f in I(A)} is the set of monomials which do not lie in the leading ideal of I(A) (w.r.t. the lexicographical ordering with x(n)>...>x(1)). N is also called the set of non-monomials of I(A). NOTE: #A = #N and N is a monomial basis of K[x(1..n)]/I(A). In particular, this allows to deduce the set of corner-monomials, i.e. the minimal basis M:={m1,...,mr}, m1<...<mr, of its associated monomial ideal M(I(A)), such that
M(I(A))= {k*mi | k in Mon(x(1),...,x(n)), mi in M},
and (by interpolation) the unique reduced lexicographical Groebner basis G := {f1,...,fr} such that LM(fi)=mi for each i, that is, I(A)=<G>. Moreover, a variation of this algorithm allows to deduce a canonical linear factorization of each element of such a Groebner basis in the sense ot the Axis-of-Evil Theorem by M.G. Marinari and T. Mora. More precisely, a combinatorial algorithm and interpolation allow to deduce polynomials

y_mdi = x(m) - g_mdi(x(1),...,x(m-1)),
i=1,...,r; m=1,...,n; d in a finite index-set F, satisfying

fi = (product of y_mdi) modulo (f1,...,f(i-1))
where the product runs over all m=1,...,n; and all d in F.
