We give a deterministic algorithm that, given a composite number $N$ and a target order $D \ge N^{1/6}$, runs in time $D^{1/2+o(1)}$ and finds either an element $a \in \mathbb{Z}_N^*$ of multiplicative order at least $D$, or a nontrivial…

In group testing, the task is to identify defective items by testing groups of them together using as few tests as possible. We consider the setting where each item is defective with a constant probability $\alpha$, independent of all other…

We propose a class of nonparametric two-sample tests with a cost linear in the sample size. Two tests are given, both based on an ensemble of distances between analytic functions representing each of the distributions. The first test uses…

Given an elliptic curve E over a field of positive characteristic p, we consider how to efficiently determine whether E is ordinary or supersingular. We analyze the complexity of several existing algorithms and then present a new approach…

We show that, for every $k\geq 2$, $C_{2k}$-freeness can be decided in $O(n^{1-1/k})$ rounds in the Broadcast CONGEST model, by a deterministic algorithm. This (deterministic) round-complexity is optimal for $k=2$ up to logarithmic factors…

We consider a randomised implementation of the finite element method (FEM) for elliptic partial differential equations on high-dimensional models. This is motivated by applications where model predictions are essential for real-time process…

In this paper, we consider the problem of noiseless non-adaptive group testing under the for-each recovery guarantee, also known as probabilistic group testing. In the case of $n$ items and $k$ defectives, we provide an algorithm attaining…

In this paper we study polynomial identity testing of sums of $k$ read-once algebraic branching programs ($\Sigma_k$-RO-ABPs), generalizing the work in (Shpilka and Volkovich 2008,2009), who considered sums of $k$ read-once formulas…

In this paper, we address the problem for enumerating the number of finite field elements with prescribed trace and co-trace in case of arbitrary characteristic $p$. We show that this problem can be reduced to solving a system of $p-1$…

We apply a wild bootstrap method to the Lancaster three-variable interaction measure in order to detect factorisation of the joint distribution on three variables forming a stationary random process, for which the existing permutation…

In the classic sequential testing problem, we are given a system with several components each of which fails with some independent probability. The goal is to identify whether or not some component has failed. When the test costs are…

A deterministic algorithm for factoring $n$ using $n^{1/3+o(1)}$ bit operations is presented. The algorithm tests the divisibility of $n$ by all the integers in a short interval at once, rather than integer by integer as in trial division.…

We describe a quantum black-box network computing the majority of N bits with zero-sided error eps using only 2N/3 + O(sqrt{N (log log N + log 1/eps)}) queries: the algorithm returns the correct answer with probability at least 1 - eps, and…

Let $f: T\to \{ 0,1 \}$ be a Boolean function on the Boolean half-slice, $T$, \ie elements of $\{0,1\}^n$ with Hamming weight $n/2$. We show that if $f(x)+f(y)=f(x+y)$ holds with probability $\frac{1+\delta}{2}$ over a uniform pair $(x,y)$…

Given a multiset $S$ of $n$ positive integers and a target integer $t$, the Subset Sum problem asks to determine whether there exists a subset of $S$ that sums up to $t$. The current best deterministic algorithm, by Koiliaris and Xu…

In the paper, we establish a new estimate for Kloosterman sum over primes with respect to an arbitrary modulus $q$. This estimate together with some recent results of the second author are applied to the problem of solvability of the…

Clemm and Trebat-Leder (2014) proved that the number of quadratic number fields with absolute discriminant bounded by $x$ over which there exist elliptic curves with good reduction everywhere and rational $j$-invariant is $\gg…

In this paper, we construct two binary linear codes associated with multi-dimensional and $m -$multiple power Kloosterman sums (for any fixed $m$) over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Here $q$ is a power of two. The former codes are dual…

The question of how best to estimate a continuous probability density from finite data is an intriguing open problem at the interface of statistics and physics. Previous work has argued that this problem can be addressed in a natural way…

We present a new approach to handling the case of Atkin primes in Schoof's algorithm for counting points on elliptic curves over finite fields. Our approach is based on the theory of polynomially cyclic algebras, which we recall as far as…
