Deterministic distinct-degree factorization of polynomials over finite fields

A deterministic polynomial time algorithm is presented for finding the distinct-degree factorization of multivariate polynomials over finite fields. As a consequence, one can count the number of irreducible factors of polynomials over finite fields in deterministic polynomial time, thus resolving a...

description A deterministic polynomial time algorithm is presented for finding the distinct-degree factorization of multivariate polynomials over finite fields. As a consequence, one can count the number of irreducible factors of polynomials over finite fields in deterministic polynomial time, thus resolving a theoretical open problem of Kaltofen from 1987. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
