Counting Solutions to Equations in Many Variables over Finite Fields

چکیده
We present a polynomial-time algorithm for computing the zeta function of a smooth projective hypersurface of degree d over a finite field of characteristic p, under the assumption that p is a suitably small odd prime and does not divide d. This improves significantly upon an earlier algorithm of the author and Wan which is only polynomial-time when the dimension is fixed.

Counting Solutions to Polynomial Systems via Reductions
This paper provides both positive and negative results for counting solutions to systems of polynomial equations over a finite field. The general idea is to try to reduce the problem to counting solutions to a single polynomial, where the task is easier. In both cases, simple methods are utilized that we expect will have wider applicability (far beyond algebra). First, we give an efficient dete...
متن کاملCounting Points on Curves over Finite Fields
Stanford University) Abstract: A curve is a one dimensional space cut out by polynomial equations, such as y2=x3+x. In particular, one can consider curves over finite fields, which means the polynomial equations should have coefficients in some finite field and that points on the curve are given by values of the variables (x and y in the example) in the finite field that satisfy the given polyn...
متن کاملAnalytical Stress Solutions of an Orthotropic Sector Weakened by Multiple Defects by Dislocation Approach
In this article, the anti-plane deformation of an orthotropic sector with multiple defects is studied analytically. The solution of a Volterra-type screw dislocation problem in a sector is first obtained by means of a finite Fourier cosine transform. The closed form solution is then derived for displacement and stress fields over the sector domain. Next, the distributed dislocation method is em...

Thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded hollow sphere is carried out and numerical solutions of displacement, stress and thermal fields are obtained using the Polynomial differential quadrature (PDQ) method. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the radial direction according to a power law function, ho...
متن کاملSystems of Equations over Finite Semigroups and the #CSP Dichotomy Conjecture
We study the complexity of counting the number of solutions to a system of equations over a fixed finite semigroup. We show that this problem is always either in FP or #P-complete and describe the borderline precisely. We use these results to convey some intuition about the conjectured dichotomy for the complexity of counting the number of solutions in constraint satisfaction problems.
