Abstract for diploma thesis of Christian Aistleitner
While Gröbner bases classically focus on purely algebraic settings, 
Gröbner basis literature followed the general trend of the last decades 
to also incorporate differential settings, which resulted in the notion 
of differential Gröbner bases. In the differential setting, there is 
also the much older, but different notion of differential characteristec
 sets. Although those three methods of elimination theory are closely 
related, literature does not provide a comparison of those methods.
The
 main contribution of this diploma thesis is such a comparison.
Additionally,
 we give a presentation of Gröbner bases, differential Gröbner bases, 
and differential characteristic sets using a unified notation system 
that allows to easily identify and exhibit differences and matches 
between the different methods.
