For three positive integers ai, aj , ak pairwise coprime, we present an algorithm that find the least multiple of ai that is a positive linear combination of aj , ak. The average running time of this algorithm is O(1). Using this algorithm and the chinese remainder theorem leads to a direct computation of the Frobenius number f(a1, a2, a3).

The purpose of this paper is to study codes over finite principal ideal rings. To do this, we begin with codes over finite chain rings as a natural generalization of codes over Galois rings GR(pe, l) (including Zpe). We give sufficient conditions on the existence of MDS codes over finite chain rings and on the existence of self-dual codes over finite chain rings. We also construct MDS self-dual...

We present a space-efficient algorithm to compute the Hilbert class polynomial HD(X) modulo a positive integer P , based on an explicit form of the Chinese Remainder Theorem. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, the algorithm uses O(|D|1/2+ log P ) space and has an expected running time of O(|D|1+ ). We describe practical optimizations that allow us to handle larger discriminants than othe...

In this paper we extend the threshold secret sharing schemes based on the Chinese remainder theorem in order to deal with more general access structures. Aspects like verifiability, secret sharing homomorphisms and multiplicative properties are also discussed. AMS Subject Classification: 94A62, 11A07
