Algebraic and logical characterizations of deterministic linear time classes
1997
In this paper an algebraic characterization of the class DLIN of functions that can be computed in linear time by a deterministic RAM using only numbers of linear size is given. This class was introduced by Grandjean, who showed that it is robust and contains most computational problems that are usually considered to be solvable in deterministic linear time.
Computing generators of the tame kernel of a global function field
2006
Abstract The group K 2 of a curve C over a finite field is equal to the tame kernel of the corresponding function field. We describe two algorithms for computing generators of the tame kernel of a global function field. The first algorithm uses the transfer map and the fact that the l -torsion can easily be described if the ground field contains the l th roots of unity. The second method is inspired by an algorithm of Belabas and Gangl for computing generators of K 2 of the ring of integers in a number field. We finally give the generators of the tame kernel for some elliptic function fields.
