Its high computational complexity makes the method often unfeasible in practice, and several techniques for its improvement have been investigated. Algorithms for change of orderings reduce the complexity of lexicographic Gr{\" o}bner bases, that are interesting for many practical applications. This thesis is concerned with an unified treatment of the Gr{\" o}bner walk and the FGLM algorihms for change of orderings. The relation between the two algorithms becomes clear in a combination of the two methods that we call FGLM walk. After a thorough description of the algorithms and their mathematical background, we conclude by comparing their performance on some real examples. =note= PhD Thesis =sponsor= RISC =keywords= Groebner bases, term orderings, Groebner walk, FGLM
