    On Field Size and Success Probability in Network Coding

    Full text link
    Using tools from algebraic geometry and Groebner basis theory we solve two problems in network coding. First we present a method to determine the smallest field size for which linear network coding is feasible. Second we derive improved estimates on the success probability of random linear network coding. These estimates take into account which monomials occur in the support of the determinant of the product of Edmonds matrices. Therefore we finally investigate which monomials can occur in the determinant of the Edmonds matrix.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables.

    Запропоновано модифікацію алгоритму формування цифрового підпису DSA, що базується на новому використанні арифметики кінцевих полів. Наведено математичне обґрунтування запропонованого підходу. Описано технології генерації ключів, формування цифрового підпису та його перевірки. Для всіх цих процедур наведено числові приклади. Доведено, що використання арифметики кінцевих полів дозволяє помітно прискорити роботу з цифровим підписом. Запропонована модифікація алгоритму формування цифрового підпису DSA орієнтована на апаратну реалізацію.The modification of DSA techniques based on novel application of arithmetic of finite fields are presented. The mathematical background of the proposed approach is first presented. The techniques of public and secret keys generation, forming and verification of signature based of finite fields arithmetic are described. A numerical example for all mentioned procedures is given. It has been showed that using of finite fields arithmetic may greatly accelerate the processing of DSA signatures. The proposed DSA modification is oriented for hardware implementation

    25 pages, revised version, accepted for publication by Tokyo J. Maths.Given FF a real abelian field, pp an odd prime and χ\chi any Dirichlet character of FF we give a method for computing the χ\chi-index (H1(GS,Zp(r))χ:CF(r)χ)\displaystyle \left (H^1(G_S,\mathbb{Z}_p(r))^\chi: C^F(r)^\chi\right) where the Tate twist rr is an odd integer r3r\geq 3, the group CF(r)C^F(r) is the group of higher circular units, GSG_S is the Galois group over FF of the maximal SS ramified algebraic extension of FF, and SS is the set of places of FF dividing pp. This χ\chi-index can now be computed in terms only of elementary arithmetic of finite fields \FM_\ell. Our work generalizes previous results by Kurihara who used the assumption that the order of χ\chi divides p1p-1

    Multiplicative Order of Gauss Periods

    We obtain a lower bound on the multiplicative order of Gauss periods which generate normal bases over finite fields. This bound improves the previous bound of J. von zur Gathen and I. E. Shparlinski.Comment: 9 page
