We exhibit a probabilistic algorithm which computes a rational point of an absolutely irreducible variety over a finite field defined by a reduced regular sequence. Its time--space complexity is roughly quadratic in the logarithm of the…

Most results on the value sets $V_f$ of polynomials $f \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ relate the cardinality $|V_f|$ to the degree of $f$. In particular, the structure of the spectrum of the class of polynomials of a fixed degree $d$ is rather well…

We propose an algorithm for quickly evaluating polynomials. It pre-conditions a complex polynomial $P$ of degree $d$ in time $O(d\log d)$, with a low multiplicative constant independent of the precision. Subsequent evaluations of $P$…

Over finite fields, if the image of a polynomial map is not the entire field, then its cardinality can be bounded above by a significantly smaller value. Earlier results bound the cardinality of the value set using the degree of the…

Let $X$ be a finite set in $Z^d$. We consider the problem of optimizing linear function $f(x) = c^T x$ on $X$, where $c\in Z^d$ is an input vector. We call it a problem $X$. A problem $X$ is related with linear program $\max\limits_{x \in…

We exhibit a probabilistic algorithm which solves a polynomial system over the rationals defined by a reduced regular sequence. Its bit complexity is roughly quadratic in the B\'ezout number of the system and linear in its bit size. Our…

Typestate systems ensure many desirable properties of imperative programs, including initialization of object fields and correct use of stateful library interfaces. Abstract sets with cardinality constraints naturally generalize typestate…

In this paper, we present a new method for computing bounded-degree factors of lacunary multivariate polynomials. In particular for polynomials over number fields, we give a new algorithm that takes as input a multivariate polynomial f in…

Suppose $A=\{a_1,\ldots,a_{n+2}\}\subset\mathbb{Z}^n$ has cardinality $n+2$, with all the coordinates of the $a_j$ having absolute value at most $d$, and the $a_j$ do not all lie in the same affine hyperplane. Suppose $F=(f_1,\ldots,f_n)$…

We provide upper bounds for the cardinality of the value set of a polynomial map in several variables over a finite field. These bounds generalize earlier bounds for univariate polynomials.

We prove that counting the analytic Brouwer degree of rational coefficient polynomial maps in $\operatorname{Map}(\mathbb C^d, \mathbb C^d)$ -- presented in degree-coefficient form -- is hard for the complexity class $\operatorname{\sharp…

We find the cardinality of the value sets of polynomial maps associated with simple complex Lie algebras $B_2$ and $G_2$ over finite fields. We achieve this by using a characterization of their fixed points in terms of sums of roots of…

We report an ongoing work on clustering algorithms for complex roots of a univariate polynomial $p$ of degree $d$ with real or complex coefficients. As in their previous best subdivision algorithms our root-finders are robust even for…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$, and let $f \in \mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ be a polynomial of degree $d > 0$. Denote the image set of this polynomial as $V_{f}=\{f(\alpha)\mid\alpha\in\mathbb{F}_{q}\}$ and denote the…

We describe an algorithm to count the number of distinct real zeros of a polynomial (square) system f. The algorithm performs O(n D kappa(f)) iterations where n is the number of polynomials (as well as the dimension of the ambient space), D…

The problem of finding a nontrivial factor of a polynomial f(x) over a finite field F_q has many known efficient, but randomized, algorithms. The deterministic complexity of this problem is a famous open question even assuming the…

We obtain an estimate on the average cardinality of the value set of any family of monic polynomials of Fq[T] of degree d for which s consecutive coefficients a_{d-1},..., a_{d-s} are fixed. Our estimate holds without restrictions on the…
