Generating random elements of abelian groups
نویسنده
چکیده
Algorithms based on rapidly mixing Markov chains are discussed to produce nearly uniformly distributed random elements in abelian groups of finite order. Let A be an abelian group generated by set S. Then one can generate ε-nearly uniform random elements of A using 4|S| log(|A| /ε) log(|A|) additions and the same number of random bits.

Non-Abelian Sequenceable Groups Involving ?-Covers
A non-abelian finite group is called sequenceable if for some positive integer , is -generated ( ) and there exist integers such that every element of is a term of the -step generalized Fibonacci sequence , , , . A remarkable application of this definition may be find on the study of random covers in the cryptography. The 2-step generalized sequences for the dihedral groups studi...
متن کاملPairwise non-commuting elements in finite metacyclic $2$-groups and some finite $p$-groups
Let $G$ be a finite group. A subset $X$ of $G$ is a set of pairwise non-commuting elements if any two distinct elements of $X$ do not commute. In this paper we determine the maximum size of these subsets in any finite non-abelian metacyclic $2$-group and in any finite non-abelian $p$-group with an abelian maximal subgroup.
متن کاملFinding the Minimal Generating Set for a Finitely Generated Abelian Group on a Quantum Computer
In this paper we use basic concepts of Quantum Computing to try to solve the problem of finding generators of a finitely generated abelian group. We present three algorithms based on random selection of group elements to find a minimal generating set for a finite abelian group. We also describe an algorithm for finding a minimal generating set for a torsion free abelian group.
متن کاملMaximal subsets of pairwise non-commuting elements of some finite p-groups
Let G be a group. A subset X of G is a set of pairwise noncommuting elements if xy ̸= yx for any two distinct elements x and y in X. If |X| ≥ |Y | for any other set of pairwise non-commuting elements Y in G, then X is said to be a maximal subset of pairwise non-commuting elements. In this paper we determine the cardinality of a maximal subset of pairwise non-commuting elements in any non-abelian...
متن کاملGeneration and Random Generation: from Simple Groups to Maximal Subgroups
Let G be a finite group and let d(G) be the minimal number of generators for G. It is well known that d(G) = 2 for all (non-abelian) finite simple groups. We prove that d(H) ≤ 4 for any maximal subgroup H of a finite simple group, and that this bound is best possible. We also investigate the random generation of maximal subgroups of simple and almost simple groups. By applying a recent theorem ...
