Bounds for the Minimum Distance Function

Abstract

Let $I$ be a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring $S$. In this paper, we extend the study of the asymptotic behavior of the minimum distance function $\delta_I$ of $I$ and give bounds for its stabilization point, $r_I$, when $I$ is an $F$-pure or a square-free monomial ideal. These bounds are related with the dimension and the Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity of $I$.
