We study Reed--Solomon codes over arbitrary fields, inspired by several recent papers dealing with Gabidulin codes over fields of characteristic zero. Over the field of rational numbers, we derive bounds on the coefficient growth during…
We seek complex roots of a univariate polynomial $P$ with real or complex coefficients. We address this problem based on recent algorithms that use subdivision and have a nearly optimal complexity. They are particularly efficient when only…
A new efficient algorithm is proposed for factoring polynomials over an algebraic extension field. The extension field is defined by a polynomial ring modulo a maximal ideal. If the maximal ideal is given by its Groebner basis, no extra…
We give an improved polynomial bound on the complexity of the equation solvability problem, or more generally, of finding the value sets of polynomials over finite nilpotent rings. Our proof depends on a result in additive combinatorics,…

The classical family of $[n,k]_q$ Reed-Solomon codes over a field $\F_q$ consist of the evaluations of polynomials $f \in \F_q[X]$ of degree $< k$ at $n$ distinct field elements. In this work, we consider a closely related family of codes,…
In this paper methods for simultaneous finding all roots of generalized polynomials are developed. These methods are related to the case when the roots are multiple. They possess cubic rate of convergence and they are as labour-consuming as…
We count the number of polynomials over finite fields with prescribed leading coefficients and a given number of linear factors. This is equivalent to counting codewords in Reed-Solomon codes which are at a certain distance from a received…
In this work we present some results that allow to improve the decoding radius in solving polynomial linear systems with errors in the scenario where errors are additive and randomly distributed over a finite field. The decoding radius…
Some known results for locating the roots of polynomials are extended to the case of matrix polynomials. In particular, a theorem by A.E. Pellet [Bulletin des Sciences Math\'ematiques, (2), vol 5 (1881), pp.393-395], some results of D.A.…

The interpolation step of Guruswami and Sudan's list decoding of Reed-Solomon codes poses the problem of finding the minimal polynomial of an ideal with respect to a certain monomial order. An efficient algorithm that solves the problem is…

We determine the roots in F_{q^3} of the polynomial X^{2q^k+1} + X + c for each positive integer k and each c in F_q, where q is a power of 2. We introduce a new approach for this type of question, and we obtain results which are more…
We speed up existing decoding algorithms for three code classes in different metrics: interleaved Gabidulin codes in the rank metric, lifted interleaved Gabidulin codes in the subspace metric, and linearized Reed-Solomon codes in the…
