An implementation of the number field sieve.
The computation of polynomial greatest common divisor (GCD) ranks among basic algebraic problems with many applications, for example, in image processing and control theory. The problem of the GCD computing of two exact polynomials is well defined and can be solved symbolically, for example, by the oldest and commonly used Euclid’s algorithm. However, this is an ill-posed problem, particularly when some unknown noise is applied to the polynomial coefficients. Hence, new methods for the GCD computation...
In this paper we study the algorithmic problem of finding the ring of integers of a given algebraic number field. In practice, this problem is often considered to be well-solved, but theoretical results indicate that it is intractable for number fields that are defined by equations with very large coefficients. Such fields occur in the number field sieve algorithm for factoring integers. Applying a variant of a standard algorithm for finding rings of integers, one finds a subring of the number field...
We establish arithmetical properties and provide essential bounds for bi-sequences of approximation coefficients associated with the natural extension of maps, leading to continued fraction-like expansions. These maps are realized as the fractional part of Möbius transformations which carry the end points of the unit interval to zero and infinity, extending the classical regular and backwards continued fraction expansions.
Canonical number systems can be viewed as natural generalizations of radix representations of ordinary integers to algebraic integers. A slightly modified version of an algorithm of B. Kovács and A. Pethő is presented here for the determination of canonical number systems in orders of algebraic number fields. Using this algorithm canonical number systems of some quartic fields are computed.
It is already known that all Pisot numbers are beta numbers, but for Salem numbers this was proved just for the degree 4 case. In 1945, R. Salem showed that for any Pisot number θ we can construct a sequence of Salem numbers which converge to θ. In this short note, we give some results on the beta expansion for infinitely many sequences of Salem numbers obtained by this construction.
In a recent paper we proved that there are at most finitely many complex numbers such that the points and are both torsion on the Legendre elliptic curve defined by . In a sequel we gave a generalization to any two points with coordinates algebraic over the field and even over . Here we reconsider the special case and with complex numbers and .
The aim of this paper is to present some computer data suggesting the correct size of bounds for exponential sums of Fourier coefficients of holomorphic cusp forms.
A bibliography of recent papers on lower bounds for discriminants of number fields and related topics is presented. Some of the main methods, results, and open problems are discussed.
