ISSAC 2016 Awards
Distinguished Paper Award
Sponsored by SIGSAM.
Authors: Tristan Vaccon and Pierre Lairez.
Title: On p-adic differential equations with separation of variables.
Citation: The computation of a power series solution of a given ordinary differential equation is a basic problem in computer algebra. For a first-order ordinary differential equation with separation of variables and with p-adic coefficients, the authors of this paper give an optimal bound on the stability of the Newton iteration. The result applies to algorithms for manipulating algebraic numbers over finite fields, for computing isogenies between elliptic curves, and for deterministically finding roots of polynomials in finite fields.
