Abstract

Let R be a polynomial ring over a field K. If J is an ideal of R generated by square-free monomials, then J is integrally closed. We consider an ideal I of R not generated by square-free monomials and we compute the integral closure of I,Ī. The integral closure Ī is again a monomial ideal. Therefore, the integral closure is a new combinatoric object associated to the ideal. Since monomial ideals are associated to graphs, interactions will occur in various field: networks, transports, computer science, etc. We want to highlight these issues.
