We study the problem of factoring univariate polynomials over finite fields. Under the assumption of the Extended Riemann Hypothesis (ERH), (Gao, 2001) designed a polynomial time algorithm that fails to factor only if the input polynomial…

We look at the number of solutions of an equation of the form f_1*f_2*...*f_k=a in a finite field, where each f_i is a multilinear polynomial. We use two methods to construct a solution of this problem for the cases a=0, a<>0, and we…

We show that Reed-Solomon codes of dimension $k$ and block length $n$ over any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ can be deterministically list decoded from agreement $\sqrt{(k-1)n}$ in time $\text{poly}(n, \log |\mathbb{F}|)$. Prior to this work,…
