Optimizing the half-gcd algorithm

Computational Complexity 2022-12-26 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a carefully optimized "half-gcd" algorithm for polynomials. We achieve a constant speed-up with respect to previous work for the asymptotic time complexity. We also discuss special optimizations that are possible when polynomial multiplication is done using radix two FFTs.
