We develop a meta-algorithm that, given a polynomial (in one or more variables), and a prime p, produces a fast (logarithmic time) algorithm that takes a positive integer n and outputs the number of times each residue class modulo p appears…

We consider the classical problems of interpolating a polynomial given a black box for evaluation, and of multiplying two polynomials, in the setting where the bit-lengths of the coefficients may vary widely, so-called unbalanced…

Let $p$ be a sufficiently large prime number, $n$ be a positive odd integer with $n|\,p-1$ and $n>p^\varepsilon $, where $\varepsilon$ is a sufficiently small constant. Let $k(p,\,n)$ denote the least positive integer $k$ such that for…

We present a deterministic algorithm that, given a prime $p$ and a solution $x \in \mathbb Z$ to the discrete logarithm problem $a^x \equiv b \pmod p$ with $p\nmid a$, efficiently lifts it to a solution modulo $p^k$, i.e., $a^x \equiv b…

We consider the problem of finding a sparse multiple of a polynomial. Given f in F[x] of degree d over a field F, and a desired sparsity t, our goal is to determine if there exists a multiple h in F[x] of f such that h has at most t…

Let $g(X)$ be a polynomial over a finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$ with degree $o(q^{1/2})$, and let $\chi$ be the quadratic residue character. We give a polynomial time algorithm to recover $g(X)$ (up to perfect square factors) given the…

We give efficient algorithms for finding power-sum decomposition of an input polynomial $P(x)= \sum_{i\leq m} p_i(x)^d$ with component $p_i$s. The case of linear $p_i$s is equivalent to the well-studied tensor decomposition problem while…

Suppose $k,p\!\in\!\mathbb{N}$ with $p$ prime and $f\!\in\!\mathbb{Z}[x]$ is a univariate polynomial with degree $d$ and all coefficients having absolute value less than $p^k$. We give a Las Vegas randomized algorithm that computes the…

We consider a ranking problem where we have noisy observations from a matrix with isotonic columns whose rows have been permuted by some permutation $\pi$ *. This encompasses many models, including crowd-labeling and ranking in tournaments…

The authors of ``A note on the complexity of a phaseless polynomial interpolation'' have shown that phaseless polynomial interpolation over $\mathbf{Q}$ is possible with $n+2$ points, where $n$ is the upper-bound on the degree of a…

We give a new probabilistic algorithm for interpolating a "sparse" polynomial f given by a straight-line program. Our algorithm constructs an approximation f* of f, such that their difference probably has at most half the number of terms of…

We obtain a new lower bound on the size of value set f(F_p) of a sparse polynomial f in F_p[X] over a finite field of p elements when p is prime. This bound is uniform with respect of the degree and depends on some natural arithmetic…

Let k>1 be an integer and let p be a prime. We show that if $p^a\le k<2p^a$ or $k=p^aq+1$ (with 2q<p) for some a=1,2,..., then the set {\binom{n}{k}: n=0,1,2,...} is dense in the ring Z_p of p-adic integers, i.e., it contains a complete…

We study the problem of learning an unknown mixture of $k$ rankings over $n$ elements, given access to noisy samples drawn from the unknown mixture. We consider a range of different noise models, including natural variants of the "heat…

To interpolate a supersparse polynomial with integer coefficients, two alternative approaches are the Prony-based "big prime" technique, which acts over a single large finite field, or the more recently-proposed "small primes" technique,…

For a class of polynomials $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$, which in particular includes all quadratic polynomials, and also trinomials of some special form, we show that, under some natural conditions (necessary for quadratic polynomials), the set…

Preserving details in restoring images highly corrupted by impulse noise remains a challenging problem. We proposed an algorithm based on radial basis functions (RBF) interpolation which estimates the intensities of corrupted pixels by…

This note proposes an algorithm for identifying the poles and residues of a meromorphic function from its noisy values on the imaginary axis. The algorithm uses M\"{o}bius transform and Prony's method in the frequency domain. Numerical…

We present a polynomial-time reduction from solving noisy linear equations over $\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z}$ in dimension $\Theta(k\log n/\mathsf{poly}(\log k,\log q,\log\log n))$ with a uniformly random coefficient matrix to noisy linear…

Let $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a nonconstant polynomial. Let $n, k$ and $c$ be integers such that $n\ge 1$ and $k\ge 2$. An integer $a$ is called an $f$-exunit in the ring $\mathbb{Z}_n$ of residue classes modulo $n$ if $\gcd(f(a),n)=1$. In…
