Deciding Properties of Polynomials Without Factoring

The polynomial time algorithm of Lenstra, Lenstra, and Lovv asz 17] for factoring integer polynomials and variants thereof have been widely used to show that various computational problems in number theory have polynomial time solutions. Among them is the problem of factoring polynomials over algebraic number elds, which is used itself as a major subroutine for several other algorithms. Althoug...

children insert an extra wh-word in the middle of a question ('What do you think what pigs eat? ') thus creating a construction that is acceptable in German.

1 Deciding Without Resources : Psychological Depletion and Choice in Context

Consumer choices are a result of an interplay of two systems: fast and intuitive thinking (System 1) and more deliberative reasoning (System 2). The present research examines the implication of the interplay between the two systems for context effects in choice by exploring the consequences of resource depletion. Building on a substantial body of psychological literature that points to one unde...
