Faster Sparse Multivariate Polynomial Interpolation of Straight-Line Programs (1412.4088v2)
Published 12 Dec 2014 in cs.SC and cs.DS
Abstract: Given a straight-line program whose output is a polynomial function of the inputs, we present a new algorithm to compute a concise representation of that unknown function. Our algorithm can handle any case where the unknown function is a multivariate polynomial, with coefficients in an arbitrary finite field, and with a reasonable number of nonzero terms but possibly very large degree. It is competitive with previously known sparse interpolation algorithms that work over an arbitrary finite field, and provides an improvement when there are a large number of variables.
