Let Fq be the finite field of q elements, where q = ph. Let f(x) be a polynomial over Fq in n variables with m non-zero terms. Let N(f) denote the number of solutions of f(x) = 0 ...
Abstract. We give a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm that computes a nontrivial rational point on an elliptic curve over a finite field, given a Weierstrass equation for the...
We study the complexity of deciding whether a given homogeneous multivariate polynomial has a nontrivial root over a finite field. Given a homogeneous algebraic circuit C that com...
ABSTRACT. We prove the rationality of the generating function associated to the number of equivalence classes of Fqk -points of a constructible equivalence relation defined over t...
Abstract. In this note we use Carlitz's lifting formula for Kloosterman sums and some results from the theory of cyclotomic fields to show that a Kloosterman sum over a finite...
