Fast, deterministic computation of the Hermite normal form and determinant of a polynomial matrix
Given a nonsingular matrix of univariate polynomials over a
field , we give fast and deterministic algorithms to compute its
determinant and its Hermite normal form. Our algorithms use
operations in ,
where is bounded from above by both the average of the degrees of the rows
and that of the columns of the matrix and is the exponent of matrix
multiplication. The soft- notation indicates that logarithmic factors in the
big- are omitted while the ceiling function indicates that the cost is
when . Our algorithms are based
on a fast and deterministic triangularization method for computing the diagonal
entries of the Hermite form of a nonsingular matrix.Comment: 34 pages, 3 algorithm
Computing the Characteristic Polynomial of a Finite Rank Two Drinfeld Module
Motivated by finding analogues of elliptic curve point counting techniques,
we introduce one deterministic and two new Monte Carlo randomized algorithms to
compute the characteristic polynomial of a finite rank-two Drinfeld module. We
compare their asymptotic complexity to that of previous algorithms given by
Gekeler, Narayanan and Garai-Papikian and discuss their practical behavior. In
particular, we find that all three approaches represent either an improvement
in complexity or an expansion of the parameter space over which the algorithm
may be applied. Some experimental results are also presented
