Cauchon [5 Cauchon, G. (2003). Effacement des dérivations et spectres premiers des algèbres quantiques. J. Algebra 260(2):476–518. [CrossRef], [Web of Science ®] ] introduced the so-called deleting derivations algorithm. This algorithm was first used in noncommutative algebra to prove catenarity in generic quantum matrices, and then to show that torus-invariant primes in these algebras are generated by quantum minors. Since then this algorithm has been used in various contexts. In particular, the matrix version makes a bridge between torus-invariant primes in generic quantum matrices, torus orbits of symplectic leaves in matrix Poisson varieties and totally non-negative cells in totally non-negative matrix varieties [12 Goodearl, K.
