Factoring bivariate sparse (lacunary) polynomials
We present a deterministic algorithm for computing all irreducible factors of
degree of a given bivariate polynomial over an algebraic
number field and their multiplicities, whose running time is polynomial in
the bit length of the sparse encoding of the input and in . Moreover, we
show that the factors over \Qbarra of degree which are not binomials
can also be computed in time polynomial in the sparse length of the input and
in .Comment: 20 pp, Latex 2e. We learned on January 23th, 2006, that a
multivariate version of Theorem 1 had independently been achieved by Erich
Kaltofen and Pascal Koira
On the asymptotic and practical complexity of solving bivariate systems over the reals
This paper is concerned with exact real solving of well-constrained,
bivariate polynomial systems. The main problem is to isolate all common real
roots in rational rectangles, and to determine their intersection
multiplicities. We present three algorithms and analyze their asymptotic bit
complexity, obtaining a bound of \sOB(N^{14}) for the purely projection-based
method, and \sOB(N^{12}) for two subresultant-based methods: this notation
ignores polylogarithmic factors, where bounds the degree and the bitsize of
the polynomials. The previous record bound was \sOB(N^{14}).
Our main tool is signed subresultant sequences. We exploit recent advances on
the complexity of univariate root isolation, and extend them to sign evaluation
of bivariate polynomials over two algebraic numbers, and real root counting for
polynomials over an extension field. Our algorithms apply to the problem of
simultaneous inequalities; they also compute the topology of real plane
algebraic curves in \sOB(N^{12}), whereas the previous bound was
\sOB(N^{14}).
All algorithms have been implemented in MAPLE, in conjunction with numeric
filtering. We compare them against FGB/RS, system solvers from SYNAPS, and
MAPLE libraries INSULATE and TOP, which compute curve topology. Our software is
among the most robust, and its runtimes are comparable, or within a small
constant factor, with respect to the C/C++ libraries.

Near NP-Completeness for Detecting p-adic Rational Roots in One Variable
We show that deciding whether a sparse univariate polynomial has a p-adic
rational root can be done in NP for most inputs. We also prove a
polynomial-time upper bound for trinomials with suitably generic p-adic Newton
polygon. We thus improve the best previous complexity upper bound of EXPTIME.
We also prove an unconditional complexity lower bound of NP-hardness with
respect to randomized reductions for general univariate polynomials. The best
previous lower bound assumed an unproved hypothesis on the distribution of
primes in arithmetic progression. We also discuss how our results complement
analogous results over the real numbers.Comment: 8 pages in 2 column format, 1 illustration. Submitted to a conferenc
Decidability of Univariate Real Algebra with Predicates for Rational and Integer Powers
We prove decidability of univariate real algebra extended with predicates for
rational and integer powers, i.e., and . Our decision procedure combines computation over real algebraic
cells with the rational root theorem and witness construction via algebraic
number density arguments.Comment: To appear in CADE-25: 25th International Conference on Automated

Resolving zero-divisors using Hensel lifting
Algorithms which compute modulo triangular sets must respect the presence of
zero-divisors. We present Hensel lifting as a tool for dealing with them. We
give an application: a modular algorithm for computing GCDs of univariate
polynomials with coefficients modulo a radical triangular set over the
rationals. Our modular algorithm naturally generalizes previous work from
algebraic number theory. We have implemented our algorithm using Maple's RECDEN
package. We compare our implementation with the procedure RegularGcd in the
RegularChains package.Comment: Shorter version to appear in Proceedings of SYNASC 201
