Given a function $f$ in a finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$ of $q$ elements, we define the functional graph of $f$ as a directed graph on $q$ nodes labelled by the elements of ${\mathbb F}_q$ where there is an edge from $u$ to $v$ if and only if…

We present a deterministic 2^O(t)q^{(t-2)(t-1)+o(1)} algorithm to decide whether a univariate polynomial f, with exactly t monomial terms and degree <q, has a root in F_q. A corollary of our method --- the first with complexity sub-linear…

We describe a deterministic algorithm for finding a generating element of the multiplicative group of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ where $p$ is a prime. In time polynomial in $p$ and $n$, the algorithm either outputs an element that…

The $2 \rightarrow q$ norm of a matrix $X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times d}$ is defined as $\lVert X \rVert_{2 \rightarrow q} = \sup_{\lVert v \rVert_2 = 1} \lVert Xv \rVert_q$. We give polynomial-time multiplicative approximation algorithms for…
