The Complete Analysis of a Polynomial Factorization Algorithm over Finite Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
A unified treatment of parameters relevant to factoring polynomials over finite fields is given. The framework is based on generating functions for describing parameters of interest and on singularity analysis for extracting asymptotic values. An outcome is a complete analysis of the standard polynomial factorization chain that is based on elimination of repeated factors, distinct degree factorization, and equal degree separation. Several basic statistics on polynomials over finite fields are obtained in the course of the analysis.

Random Polynomials over Finite Fields: Statistics and Algorithms
Polynomials appear in many research articles of Philippe Flajolet. Here we concentrate only in papers where polynomials play a crucial role. These involve his studies of the shape of random polynomials over finite fields, the use of these results in the analysis of algorithms for the factorization of polynomials over finite fields, and the relation between the decomposition into irreducibles of...
متن کاملPolynomial Factorization over Finite Fields By Computing Euler-Poincare Characteristics of Drinfeld Modules
We propose and rigorously analyze two randomized algorithms to factor univariate polynomials over finite fields using rank 2 Drinfeld modules. The first algorithm estimates the degree of an irreducible factor of a polynomial from Euler-Poincare characteristics of random Drinfeld modules. Knowledge of a factor degree allows one to rapidly extract all factors of that degree. As a consequence, the...
متن کاملUnivariate Polynomial Factorization Over Finite Fields
This paper shows that a recently proposed approach of D. Q. Wan to bivariate factorization over finite fields, the univariate factoring algorithm of V. Shoup, and the new bound of this paper for the average number of irreducible divisors of polynomials of a given degree over a finite field can be used to design a bivariate factoring algorithm that is polynomial for "almost all" bivariate polyno...
متن کاملDeterministic distinct-degree factorization of polynomials over finite fields
A deterministic polynomial time algorithm is presented for finding the distinctdegree factorization of multivariate polynomials over finite fields. As a consequence, one can count the number of irreducible factors of polynomials over finite fields in deterministic polynomial time, thus resolving a theoretical open problem of Kaltofen from 1987.
