We give a {\em deterministic} algorithm for approximately computing the fraction of Boolean assignments that satisfy a degree-$2$ polynomial threshold function. Given a degree-2 input polynomial $p(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ and a parameter $\eps >…

Polynomial factoring has famous practical algorithms over fields-- finite, rational \& $p$-adic. However, modulo prime powers it gets hard as there is non-unique factorization and a combinatorial blowup ensues. For example, $x^2+p \bmod…

In this paper we extend a previous investigation by us regarding an iterative construction of irreducible polynomials over finite fields of odd characteristic. In particular, we show how it is possible to iteratively construct irreducible…

In this paper, we propose two new interpolation algorithms for sparse multivariate polynomials represented by a straight-line program(SLP). Both of our algorithms work over any finite fields $F_q$ with large characteristic. The first one is…

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…

Let $k$ be a finite field, and $L$ be a $q$-linearized polynomial defined over $k$ of $q$-degree $r$ ($L=\sum^r_{i=0}a_iZ^{q^i}$, with $a_i\in k$). This paper provides an algorithm to compute a characteristic polynomial of $L$ over a large…

We give a method of constructing polynomials of arbitrarily large degree irreducible over a global field F but reducible modulo every prime of F. The method consists of finding quadratic f in F[x] whose iterates have the desired property,…

We consider the Partition problem and propose a deterministic FPTAS (Fully Polynomial-Time Approximation Scheme) that runs in $\widetilde{O}(n + 1/\varepsilon)$-time. This is the best possible (up to a polylogarithmic factor) assuming the…

We give an efficient algorithm to enumerate all sets of $r\ge 1$ quadratic polynomials over a finite field, which remain irreducible under iterations and compositions.

The extended L\"uroth's Theorem says that if the transcendence degree of $\KK(\mathsf{f}_1,\dots,\mathsf{f}_m)/\KK$ is 1 then there exists $f \in \KK(\underline{X})$ such that $\KK(\mathsf{f}_1,\dots,\mathsf{f}_m)$ is equal to $\KK(f)$. In…

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…
