Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a non-singular hypersurface of degree $d>1$, and let $\epsilon>0$. This paper is concerned with the conjecture that there are $O(B^{n-1+\epsilon})$ rational points on $X$ that have height at most $B$, in…

We design and analyze an algorithm for computing rational points of hypersurfaces defined over a finite field based on searches on "vertical strips", namely searches on parallel lines in a given direction. Our results show that, on average,…
