What can be said about the set Ea of solutions in nonnegative integers to a system of linear equations with integer coefficients? Formany purposes, such asthose oflinear programming, this questionhas been adequately answered.However, when thisquestion is regardedfrom the vantagepoint ofcom mutative algebra, many additional aspects arise. In particular, there is ana turalway toassociate with Eaagraded module Aa (overan appropriate graded commutative ringA\and one canask forsuch standard information aboutAa asitsdepth, canonical module, etc. We will obtain suchinformation by explicitly computingthe Hilbert function ofthe local cohomologymodules Hl (A*) associatedwith Aa (with respectto the irrelevant idealofA) in termsof
