Let a and f be coprime positive integers. Let g be an integer. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) it follows by a result of H.W. Lenstra that the set of primes p such that p=a(mod f) and g is a primitive root modulo p has a…
The union cost is used, so that an efficient algorithm for computing the k-error linear complexity of a sequence with period 2pn over GF(q) is presented, where p and q are odd primes, and q is a primitive root of modulo p2.
We fix a non-zero integer $a$ and consider arithmetic progressions $a \bmod q$, with $q$ varying over a given range. We show that for certain specific values of $a$, the arithmetic progressions $a \bmod q$ contain, on average, significantly…
As a consequence of the classification of finite simple groups, the classification of permutation groups of prime degree is complete, apart from the question of when the natural degree $(q^n-1)/(q-1)$ of ${\rm L}_n(q)$ is prime. We present…
We present a simple, closed formula which gives all the primes in order. It is a simple product of integer floor and ceiling functions.
In this paper, we intend to present a new algorithm to factorize large numbers. According to the algorithm proposed here, we prove that there is a common factor between p and q. With this procedure, the time of factorization considerably…
Following the approach by R. K\"otter and F. R. Kschischang, we study network codes as families of k-dimensional linear subspaces of a vector space F_q^n, q being a prime power and F_q the finite field with q elements. In particular,…
For any prime number p and any positive real number {\alpha}, we construct a finitely generated group {\Gamma} with p-gradient equal to {\alpha}. This construction is used to show that there exist uncountably many pairwise non-commensurable…
In this paper, we establish some theorems on the distribution of primes in higher-order progressions on average.
We first show a deterministic algorithm for taking $r$-th roots over $\F_q$ without being given any $r$-th nonresidue, where $\F_q$ is a finite field with $q$ elements and $r$ is a small prime such that $r^2$ divides of $q-1$. As…
A new method for parallel generation of $q$-valued pseudorandom sequence based on the presentation of systems generating logical formulae by means of arithmetic polynomials is proposed. Fragment consisting of $k$-elements of $q$-valued…
Let $p>2$ be prime and $g$ a primitive root modulo $p$. We present an argument for the fact that discrete logarithms of the numbers in any arithmetic progression are uniformly distributed in $[1,p]$ and raise some questions on the subject.
Consider a subfield of the field of rational functions in several indeterminates. We present an algorithm that, given a set of generators of such a subfield, finds a simple generating set. We provide an implementation of the algorithm and…
E. Bach, following an idea of T. Itoh, has shown how to build a small set of numbers modulo a prime p such that at least one element of this set is a generator of $\pF{p}$\cite{Bach:1997:sppr,Itoh:2001:PPR}. E. Bach suggests also that at…
We study the number of primes with a given primitive root and in an arithmetic progression under the assumption of a suitable form of the generalized Riemann Hypothesis. Previous work of Lenstra, Moree and Stevenhagen has given asymptotics…
We introduce a heuristic prediction for the distribution of the isomorphism class of the Galois group of the maximal pro-p extension of Q unramified outside a "random" set of primes. This is guided by reasoning similar to that governing the…
The results for the fractional sequence $\left \{[x/n]+1:n \leq x\right \}$, and the fractional sequence in arithmetic progression $\left \{q[x/n]+a:n \leq x\right \}$, where $a<q$ are integers such that $\gcd(a,q)=1$, prove that these…
Let $f : \mathbf{N} \rightarrow \mathbf{C}$ be a bounded multiplicative function. Let $a$ be a fixed integer (say $a = 1$). Then $f$ is well-distributed on the progression $n \equiv a \pmod{q} \subset \{1,\dots, X\}$, for almost all primes…
We present a quantum version of the classical probabilistic algorithms $\grave{a}$ la Rabin. The quantum algorithm is based on the essential use of Grover's operator for the quantum search of a database and of Shor's Fourier transform for…
Hypergraphs are structures that can be decomposed or described; in other words they are recursively countable. Here, we get exact and asymptotic enumeration results on hypergraphs by means of exponential generating functions. The number of…
