Functional decomposition using principal subfields

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let finK(t) be a univariate rational function. It is well known that any non-trivial decomposition gcirch, with g,hinK(t), corresponds to a non-trivial subfield K(f(t))subsetneqLsubsetneqK(t) and vice-versa. In this paper we use the idea of principal subfields and fast subfield-intersection techniques to compute the subfield lattice of K(t)/K(f(t)). This yields a Las Vegas type algorithm with improved complexity and better run times for finding all non-equivalent complete decompositions of f.
