We provide an algorithm to compute a minimal $\Bbb Z^d$-graded injective resolution of $M$ up to any desired cohomological degree. As an application, we derive an algorithm computing the local cohomology modules $H^i_I(M)$ supported on any monomial (that is, $\Bbb Z^d$-graded) ideal $I$. Since these local cohomology modules are neither finitely generated nor finitely cogenerated, part of this task is defining a finite data structure to encode them.}, identifier = {05202021}, }
