The problem of straggler mitigation in distributed matrix multiplication (DMM) is considered for a large number of worker nodes and a fixed small finite field. Polynomial codes and matdot codes are generalized by making use of algebraic function fields (i.e., algebraicfunctions over an algebraic curve) over a finite field. The construction of optimal solutions is translated to a combinatorial problem on the Weierstrass semigroups of the corresponding algebraic curves. Optimal or almost optimal solutions are provided. These have the same computational complexity per worker as classical polynomial and matdot codes, and their recovery thresholds are almost optimal in the asymptotic regime (growing number of workers and a fixed finite field).

algebraic function fields (or equivalently, algebraic curves) provide a useful tool for coding theory (for instance, algebraic-geometric codes and trace codes), but also for other branches of information theory, In these applications, the number of rational places of a function field plays a crucial role, One is particularly interested in functionfields having a large number of rational places, After a short introduction into the mathematical theory of algebraicfunctions, the paper gives a survey of old and new results on the number of rational places of functionfields.

The Gilbert-Varshamov (GV) bound for asymptotic families of codes over F-q has been improved by Tsfasman, Vladut, and Zink (TVZ) in 1982, and only recently further improvements have been obtained by Xing, Elkies, and Niederreiter-Ozbudak, by considering also nonlinear codes. These improvements involve higher derivations in functionfields and are very computational. We give in this correspondence a much simpler proof for those improvements. Our construction of asymptotically good nonlinear codes is very similar to Goppa's construction of algebraic-geometry codes.

Knopfmacher [13] introduced the idea of an additive arithmetic semigroup as a general setting for an algebraic analogue of number theory. Within his framework, Zhang [19] showed that the asymptotic distribution of the values taken by additive functions closely resembles that found in classical number theory, in as much as there are direct analogues of the Erdos-Wintner and Kubilius Main Theorems. In this paper. we use probabilistic arguments to show that similar theorems, and their functional counterparts, can be proved in a much wider class of decomposable combinatorial structures.

We examine the conditions for two algebraic function fields over real closed fields to be Witt equivalent. We show that there are only two Witt classes of algebraic function fields with a fixed real closed field of constants: real and non-real ones. The first of them splits further into subclasses corresponding to the tame equivalence. This condition has a natural interpretation in terms of both: orderings (the associated Harrison isomorphism maps 1-pt fans onto 1-pt fans), and geometry and topology of associated real curves (the bijection of points is a homeomorphism and these two curves have the same number of semi-algebraically connected components). Finally, we derive some immediate consequences of those theorems. In particular we describe all the Witt classes of algebraic function fields of genus 0 and 1 over the fixed real closed field.

We present a first sparse modular algorithm for computing a greatest common divisor of two polynomials f(1), f(2) is an element of L[x] where L is an algebraicfunction field in k >= 0 parameters with r >= 0 field extensions. Our algorithm extends the dense algorithm of Monagan and van Hoeij from 2004 to support multiple field extensions and to be efficient when the gcd is sparse. Our algorithm is an output sensitive Las Vegas algorithm. We have implemented our algorithm in Maple. We provide timings demonstrating the efficiency of our algorithm compared to that of Monagan and van Hoeij and with a primitive fraction-free Euclidean algorithm for both dense and sparse gcd problems.
Buchi's square problem asks if there exists a positive integer M such that all x(1), ..., x(M) is an element of Z satisfying the equations x(r-2)(2) - 2x(r-1)(2) + x(r)(2) = 2 for all 3 = 2 which is called Hensley...

Buchi's square problem asks if there exists a positive integer M such that all x(1), ..., x(M) is an element of Z satisfying the equations x(r-2)(2) - 2x(r-1)(2) + x(r)(2) = 2 for all 3 <= r <= M must also satisfy x(r)(2) = (x + r)(2) for some integer x and for all 1 <= r <= M. Hensley's problem asks if there exists a positive integer M such that, for any integers nu and a, if ( nu + r)(2) - a is a square for all 1 <= r <= M, then a = 0. It is not difficult to see that a positive answer to Hensley's problem implies a positive answer to Buchi's square problem. One can ask a more general version of Hensley's problem by replacing the square power by an nth power for any integer n >= 2 which is called Hensley's problem for nth powers. In this paper, we will study Hensley's problem for nth powers over functionfields of any characteristic.

The linear complexity and the error linear complexity are two important security measures for stream ciphers. We construct periodic sequences from functionfields and show that the error linear complexity of these periodic sequences is large. We also give a lower bound for the error linear complexity of a class of nonperiodic sequences.
