On Computing Factors of Cyclotomic Polynomials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For odd square-free n > 1 the n-th cyclotomic polynomial satisfies an identity of Gauss. There are similar identity of Aurifeuille, Le Lasseur and Lucas. These identities all involve certain polynomials with integer coefficients. We show how these coefficients can be computed by simple algorithms which require O(n^2) arithmetic operations and work over the integers. We also give explicit formulae and generating functions for the polynomials, and illustrate the application to integer factorization with some numerical examples.
