Factoring and testing primes in small space

Viliam Geffert, Dana Pardubská (2013)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We discuss how much space is sufficient to decide whether a unary given number n is a prime. We show that O(log log n) space is sufficient for a deterministic Turing machine, if it is equipped with an additional pebble movable along the input tape, and also for an alternating machine, if the space restriction applies only to its accepting computation subtrees. In other words, the language is a prime is in pebble–DSPACE(log log n) and also in accept–ASPACE(log log n). Moreover, if the given n is...

Factoring polynomials over global fields

Karim Belabas, Mark van Hoeij, Jürgen Klüners, Allan Steel (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We prove that van Hoeij’s original algorithm to factor univariate polynomials over the rationals runs in polynomial time, as well as natural variants. In particular, our approach also yields polynomial time complexity results for bivariate polynomials over a finite field.
