Sparse Polynomial Interpolation.Andrew Arnold, University of Waterloo11:30am, Tuesday September 2nd, 2014, K9509.
Abstract Polynomial interpolation is the problem of reconstructing a polynomial from a set of its evaluations or modular images. Polynomial interpolation is a fundamental tool of computer algebra and has applications to power series, polynomial, and integer arithmetic. We consider the problem of interpolating a polynomial that is sparse, i.e., a polynomial with only a small number of nonzero terms, such that the true "size" of the polynomial is much smaller than its degree. In this talk we discuss recently-developed randomized techniques for interpolating sparse polynomials, with different methods to handle the cases of univariate, bivariate, and higher-dimensional multivariate polynomials. This is joint work with Mark Giesbrecht and Daniel Roche. |
