The efficient evaluation of multivariate polynomials at many points is an important operation for polynomial system solving. Kedlaya and Umans have recently devised a theoretically efficient algorithm for this task when the coefficients are integers or when they lie in a finite field. In this paper, we assume that the set of points where we need to evaluate is fixed and "sufficiently generic". Under these restrictions, we present a quasi-optimal algorithm for multi-point evaluation over general fields. We also present a quasi-optimal algorithm for the opposite interpolation task.

This paper describes an algorithm which computes the characteristic polynomial of a matrix over a field within the same asymptotic complexity, up to constant factors, as the multiplication of two square matrices. Previously, this was only achieved by resorting to genericity assumptions or randomization techniques, while the best known complexity bound with a general deterministic algorithm was obtained by Keller-Gehrig in 1985 and involves logarithmic factors. Our algorithm computes more generally the determinant of a univariate polynomial matrix in reduced form, and relies on new subroutines for transforming shifted reduced matrices into shifted weak Popov matrices, and shifted weak Popov matrices into shifted Popov matrices.

In this paper, we study tractability of L 2 -approximation of one-periodic functions from weighted Korobov spaces in the worst-case setting. The considered weights are of product form. For the algorithms we allow information from the class Λ all consisting of all continuous linear functionals and from the class Λ std , which only consists of function evaluations. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions on the weights of the function space for quasi-polynomial tractability, uniform weak tractability, weak tractability and (σ , τ) -weak tractability. Together with the already known results for strong polynomial and polynomial tractability, our findings provide a complete picture of the weight conditions for all current standard notions of tractability.
