Enumerating all the Irreducible Polynomials over Finite Field

Abstract

In this paper we give a detailed analysis of deterministic and randomized algorithms that enumerate any number of irreducible polynomials of degree nn over a finite field and their roots in the extension field in quasilinear where N=n2N=n^2 is the size of the output.} time cost per element. Our algorithm is based on an improved algorithm for enumerating all the Lyndon words of length nn in linear delay time and the known reduction of Lyndon words to irreducible polynomials.
