Overview:
We determine the computational complexity of deciding whether m polynomials in n variables have relatively prime leading terms with respect to some term order. This problem is NP-complete in general, but solvable in polynomial time for m fixed and for n-m fixed. Our new algorithm for the latter case determines a candidate set of leading terms by solving a maximum matching problem. This reduces the problem to linear programming.
