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
Neural computation of arithmetic functions
A neuron is modeled as a linear threshold gate, and the network architecture considered is the layered feedforward network. It is shown how common arithmetic functions such as multiplication and sorting can be efficiently computed in a shallow neural network. Some known results are improved by showing that the product of two n-bit numbers and sorting of n n-bit numbers can be computed by a polynomial-size neural network using only four and five unit delays, respectively. Moreover, the weights of each threshold element in the neural networks require O(log n)-bit (instead of n -bit) accuracy. These results can be extended to more complicated functions such as multiple products, division, rational functions, and approximation of analytic functions
Cyclic division algebras: a tool for space-time coding
Multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver ends of a wireless digital transmission channel may increase both data rate and reliability. Reliable high rate transmission over such channels can only be achieved through Space–Time coding. Rank and determinant code design criteria have been proposed to enhance diversity and coding gain. The special case of full-diversity criterion requires that the difference of any two distinct codewords has full rank.
Extensive work has been done on Space–Time coding, aiming at
finding fully diverse codes with high rate. Division algebras have been proposed as a new tool for constructing Space–Time codes, since they are non-commutative algebras that naturally yield linear fully diverse codes. Their algebraic properties can thus be further exploited to
improve the design of good codes.
The aim of this work is to provide a tutorial introduction to the algebraic tools involved in the design of codes based on cyclic division algebras. The different design criteria involved will be illustrated, including the constellation shaping, the information lossless property, the non-vanishing determinant property, and the diversity multiplexing trade-off. The final target is to give the complete mathematical background underlying the construction of the Golden code and the other Perfect Space–Time block codes
List Decoding Algorithm based on Voting in Groebner Bases for General One-Point AG Codes
We generalize the unique decoding algorithm for one-point AG codes over the
Miura-Kamiya Cab curves proposed by Lee, Bras-Amor\'os and O'Sullivan (2012) to
general one-point AG codes, without any assumption. We also extend their unique
decoding algorithm to list decoding, modify it so that it can be used with the
Feng-Rao improved code construction, prove equality between its error
correcting capability and half the minimum distance lower bound by Andersen and
Geil (2008) that has not been done in the original proposal except for
one-point Hermitian codes, remove the unnecessary computational steps so that
it can run faster, and analyze its computational complexity in terms of
multiplications and divisions in the finite field. As a unique decoding
algorithm, the proposed one is empirically and theoretically as fast as the BMS
algorithm for one-point Hermitian codes. As a list decoding algorithm,
extensive experiments suggest that it can be much faster for many moderate
size/usual inputs than the algorithm by Beelen and Brander (2010). It should be
noted that as a list decoding algorithm the proposed method seems to have
exponential worst-case computational complexity while the previous proposals
(Beelen and Brander, 2010; Guruswami and Sudan, 1999) have polynomial ones, and
that the proposed method is expected to be slower than the previous proposals
for very large/special inputs.Comment: Accepted for publication in J. Symbolic Computation. LaTeX2e
