Average-Case Complexity of Learning Polynomials

چکیده
The present paper deals with the averagecase complexity of various algorithms for learning univariate polynomials. For this purpose an appropriate framework is introduced. Based on it, the learnability of univariate polynomials evaluated over the natural numbers and of univariate polynomials defined over finite fields is analyzed. Our results are manifold. In the first case, convergence is measured not relative to the degree of a polynomial but with respect to a measure that takes the degree and the size of the coefficients into account. Then standard interpolation is proved not to be the best possible algorithm with respect to the average number of examples needed. In general, polynomials over finite fields are not uniquely specified by their input-outputbehavior. Thus, as a new form of data representation the remainders modulo other polynomials is proposed and the expected example complexity is analyzed for a rather rich class of probability distributions.

Polynomial Factorization over Finite Fields By Computing Euler-Poincare Characteristics of Drinfeld Modules
We propose and rigorously analyze two randomized algorithms to factor univariate polynomials over finite fields using rank 2 Drinfeld modules. The first algorithm estimates the degree of an irreducible factor of a polynomial from Euler-Poincare characteristics of random Drinfeld modules. Knowledge of a factor degree allows one to rapidly extract all factors of that degree. As a consequence, the...
متن کاملOn the Deterministic Complexity of Factoring Polynomials over Finite Fields
We present a new deterministic algorithm for factoring polynomials over Z p of degree n. We show that the worst-case running time of our algorithm is O(p 1=2 (log p) 2 n 2+), which is faster than the running times of previous deterministic algorithms with respect to both n and p. We also show that our algorithm runs in polynomial time for all but at most an exponentially small fraction of the p...
متن کاملOn the Complexity of Random Quantum Computations and the Jones Polynomial
There is a natural relationship between Jones polynomials and quantum computation. We use this relationship to show that the complexity of evaluating relative-error approximations of Jones polynomials can be used to bound the classical complexity of approximately simulating random quantum computations. We prove that random quantum computations cannot be classically simulated up to a constant to...
متن کاملFactorization of Polynomials by E. Kaltofen Abstract Algorithms for factoring polynomials in one or more variables over various coefficient
Algorithms for factoring polynomials in one or more variables over various coefficient domains are discussed. Special emphasis is given to finite fields, the integers, or algebraic extensions of the rationals, and to multivariate polynomials with integral coefficients. In particular, various squarefree decomposition algorithms and Hensel lifting techniques are analyzed. An attempt is made to es...
متن کاملComplexity of Algorithms for Computing Greatest Common Divisors of Parametric Univariate Polynomials
This paper presents a comparison between the complexity bounds of different algorithms for computing greatest common divisor of a finite set of parametric univariate polynomials. Each algorithm decomposes the parameters space into a finite number of constructible sets such that a greatest common divisor of the parametric univariate polynomials is given uniformly in each constructible set. The f...
