To resolve a monomial ideal < X a 1 1 •. .. • X an n > is interesting due to its equivalence with the particular toric problem < Z c − X a 1 1 •. .. • X an n >. In the special case, when all the exponents ai are greater than or equal to the critical value c, we construct the largest branch of the resolution tree which provides an upper bound involving partial sums of Catalan numbers. This case will be called "minimal codimension case". Partial sums of Catalan numbers (starting 1, 2, 5,. . .) are 1, 3, 8, 22,. .. , and count, besides this new application, the number of paths starting from the root in all ordered trees with n + 1 edges. Catalan numbers appear in many combinatorial problems, counting the number of ways to insert n pairs of parenthesis in a word of n + 1 letters, plane trees with n + 1 vertices,. . ., etc. In the case of higher codimension, still unresolved, we give an example to state the foremost troubles. Computation of examples has been helpful in both cases to study the behaviour of the invariant function. Computations have been made in Singular (see [7]) using the desing package by G. Bodnár and J. Schicho, see [4].

These differ as widely in their methods and in their practical efficiency as they differ in the situations in which they may be applied. The purpose of this article is to give a brief overview over a selection of these approaches and the applicability of the respective implementations in Singular.

If X is embedded in a regular variety W , there is a notion of embedded desingularization and related to this is the notion of log-resolution of ideals in O W . When the field k has characteristic zero it is well known that the problem of resolution is solved. The first proof of the existence of resolution of singularities is due to H. Hironaka in his monumental work [Hir64] (see also ). If characteristic of k is positive the problem of resolution in arbitrary dimension is still open. See [Hau10] for recent advances and obstructions (see also [Hau03]). The proof by Hironaka is existential. There are constructive proofs, always in characteristic zero case, see for instance [VU89], [VU92], [BM97], we refer to [Hau03] for a complete list of references. Those constructive proofs give rise to algorithmic resolution of singularities, that allows to perform implementation at the computer [BS00], [FKP04].
