It defines and proves all the theoretic results used in the library, and shows examples of all the routines. There are many previous papers related to the subject, and the book actualices all the contents. Authors: Antonio Montes (Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya), Hans Schoenemann (Technische Universitaet Kaiserslautern). Overview: In 2010, the library was designed to contain Montes-Wibmer's algorithm for computing the Canonical Groebner Cover of a parametric ideal. The central routine is grobcov. Given a parametric ideal, grobcov outputs its Canonical Groebner Cover, consisting of a set of triplets of (lpp, basis, segment). The basis (after normalization) is the reduced Groebner basis for each point of the segment. The segments are disjoint, locally closed and correspond to constant lpp (leading power product) of the basis, and are represented in canonical representation. The segments cover the whole parameter space. The output is canonical, it only depends on the given parametric ideal and the monomial order, because the segments have different lpph of the homogenized system. This is much more than a simple Comprehensive Groebner System. The algorithm grobcov allows options to solve partially the problem when the whole automatic algorithm does not finish in reasonable time. Its existence was proved for the first time by Michael Wibmer "Groebner bases for families of affine or projective schemes", JSC, 42,803-834 (2007). grobcov uses a first algorithm cgsdr that outputs a disjoint reduced Comprehensive Groebner System with constant lpp. For this purpose, in this library, the implemented algorithm is Kapur-Sun-Wang algorithm, because it is actually the most efficient algorithm known for this purpose. D. Kapur, Y. Sun, and D.K. Wang "A New Algorithm for Computing Comprehensive Groebner Systems". Proceedings of ISSAC'2010, ACM Press, (2010), 29-36. The library has evolved to include new applications of the Groebner Cover, and new theoretical developments have been done. A routine locus has been included to compute loci of points, and determining the taxonomy of the components. Additional routines to transform the output to string (locusdg, locusto) are also included and used in the Dynamic Geometry software GeoGebra. They were described in: M.A. Abanades, F. Botana, A. Montes, T. Recio: "An Algebraic Taxonomy for Locus Computation in Dynamic Geometry". Computer-Aided Design 56 (2014) 22-33. Routines for determining the generalized envelope of a family of hypersurfaces (envelop, AssocTanToEnv, FamElemsToEnvCompPoints) are also included. It also includes procedures for Automatic Deduction of Geometric Theorems (ADGT). The actual version also includes a routine (ConsLevels) for computing the canonical form of a constructible set, given as a union of locally closed sets. It determines the canonical levels of a constructible set. It is described in: J.M. Brunat, A. Montes, "Computing the canonical representation of constructible sets". Math. Comput. Sci. (2016) 19: 165-178. A complementary routine Levels transforms the output of ConsLevels into the proper locally closed sets forming the levels of the constructible. Antoher complementary routine Grob1Levels has been included to select the locally closed sets of the segments of the grobcov that correspond to basis different from 1, add them together and return the canonical form of this constructible set. More recently (2019) given two locally closed sets in canonical form the new routine DifConsLCSets determines a set of locally closed sets equivalent to the difference them. The description of the routine is submitted to the Journal of Symbolic Computation. This routine can be also used internally by ADGT with the option "neg",1 . With this option DifConsLCSets is used for the negative hypothesis and thesis in ADGT. The last version N11 (2021) has improved the routines for locus and allows to determine a parametric locus. This version was finished on 1/2/2021, Notations: Before calling any routine of the library grobcov, the user must define the ideal Q[a][x], and all the input polynomials and ideals defined on it. Internally the routines define and use also other ideals: Q[a], Q[x,a] and so on. Procedures:
> D.2.4.1 grobcov |  | Is the basic routine giving the canonical Groebner Cover of the parametric ideal F. This routine accepts many options, that allow to obtain results even when the canonical computation does not finish in reasonable time.
> D.2.4.2 cgsdr |  | Is the procedure for obtaining a first disjoint, reduced Comprehensive Groebner System that is used in grobcov, but can also be used independently if only a CGS is required. It is a more efficient routine than buildtree (the own routine of 2010 that is no more available). Now, Kapur-Sun-Wang (KSW) algorithm is used.
> D.2.4.3 pdivi |  | Performs a pseudodivision of a parametric polynomial by a parametric ideal.
> D.2.4.4 pnormalf |  | Reduces a parametric polynomial f over V(E) V(N). E is the null ideal and N the non-null ideal over the parameters.
> D.2.4.5 Crep |  | Computes the canonical C-representation of V(N) V(M). It can be called in Q[a] or in Q[a][x], but the ideals N,M can only contain parameters of Q[a].
> D.2.4.6 Prep |  | Computes the canonical P-representation of V(N) V(M). It can be called in Q[a] or in Q[a][x], but the ideals N,M can only contain parameters of Q[a].
> D.2.4.7 PtoCrep |  | Starting from the canonical Prep of a locally closed set computes its Crep.
> D.2.4.8 extendpoly |  | Given the generic representation f of an I-regular function F defined by poly f on V(p) V(q) it returns its full representation.
> D.2.4.9 extendGC |  | When the grobcov of an ideal has been computed with the default option ("ext",0) and the explicit option ("rep",2) (which is not the default), then one can call extendGC(GC) (and options) to obtain the full representation of the bases. With the default option ("ext",0) only the generic representation of the bases is computed, and one can obtain the full representation using extendGC.
> D.2.4.10 locus |  | Special routine for determining the geometrical locus of points verifying given conditions. To use it, the ring R=(0,a1,..,ap,x1,..xn),(u1,..um,v1..vn),lp; must be declared, where (a1,..ap) are parameters (optative), (x1,..xn) are the variabes of the tracer point, (u1,..,um) are auxiliary variables, (v1,..,vn) are the mover variables. Then the input to locus must be the parametric ideal F defined in R. locus provides all the components of the locus and determines their taxonomy, that can be: "Normal", "Special", "Accumulation", "Degenerate". The mover variables are the last n variables. The user can ventually restrict them to a subset of them for geometrical reasons but this can change the true taxonomy. locus also allows to determine a parmetric locus depending on p parameters a1,..ap using then the option "numpar",p.
> D.2.4.11 locusdg |  | Is a special routine that determines the "Relevant" components of the locus in dynamic geometry. It is to be called to the output of locus and selects from it the "Normal", and"Accumulation" components.
> D.2.4.12 envelop |  | Special routine for determining the envelop of a family of hyper-surfaces F in Q[x1,..,xn][t1,..,tm] depending on an ideal of constraints C in Q[t1,..,tm]. It computes the locus of the envelop, and detemines the different components as well as their taxonomies: "Normal", "Special", "Accumulation", "Degenerate". (See help for locus).
> D.2.4.13 locusto |  | Transforms the output of locus, locusdg, envelop into a string that can be reed from different computational systems.
> D.2.4.14 stdlocus |  | Simple procedure to determine the components of the locus, alternative to locus that uses only standard GB computation. Cannot determine the taxonomy of the irreducible components.

If H1=1 then H1 is not considered, and analogously for T1.
> D.2.4.22 ConsLevels |  | Given a list of locally colsed sets, constructs the canonical representation of the levels of A an its complement.
> D.2.4.23 Levels |  | Transforms the output of ConsLevels into the proper Levels of the constructible set.
> D.2.4.24 Grob1Levels |  | From the output of grobcov, Grob1Levels selects the segments of G with basis different from 1 (having solutions), and determines the levels of the constructible set formed by them.
> D.2.4.25 DifConsLCSets |  | given the canonical forms of the constructible sets A and B, A=[a1,a2,..,ak], B=[b1,b2,...,bj], DifConsLCSets returns a list of locally closed sets of the set A minus B, that can be transformed into the canonical form of A minus B applying ConsLevels.
