Abstract

We provide a procedure which partially extends Fulton’s intersection multiplicty algorithm to the general case, using a generalization of his seven properties. This procedure leads to a novel, standard basis free approach for computing intersection multiplicities beyond the case of two planar curves, which can cover cases the current standard basis free techniques cannot.
