Fast construction of irreducible polynomials over finite fields

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present a randomized algorithm that on input a finite field K with q elements and a positive integer d outputs a degree d irreducible polynomial in K[x]. The running time is d1+epsilon(d)imes(logq)5+epsilon(q) elementary operations. The function epsilon in this expression is a real positive function belonging to the class o(1), especially, the complexity is quasi-linear in the degree d. Once given such an irreducible polynomial of degree d, we can compute random irreducible polynomials of degree d at the expense of d1+epsilon(d)imes(logq)1+epsilon(q) elementary operations only.
