We count the number of irreducible polynomials in several variables of a given degree over a finite field. The results are expressed in terms of a generating series, an exact for...
Motivated by several recent results, we determine precisely when Fk(Xd, a) − Fk(0, a) is a Dembowski-Ostrom polynomial, where Fk(X, a) is a Dickson polynomial of the first or se...
We develop new coset bounds for algebraic geometric codes. The bounds have a natural interpretation as an adversary threshold for algebraic geometric secret sharing schemes and le...
Let p be prime and Zpn a degree n unramified extension of the ring of p-adic integers Zp. In this paper we give an overview of some very fast deterministic algorithms for common o...
