Extract

Samuel (1) introduced a generalized Hilbert function, written Xq(r, a) and defined for arbitrary ideals a in a local ring Q with maximal ideai m. where q is m-primary.

Northcott(2) proved that for a homogeneous ideal ã in a polynomial ring A[X1, …, Xn], where A = Q/q, this is equal to the ordinary Hilbert function χ(r, ã).
