An Efficient Algorithm for Factoring Polynomials over Algebraic Extension Field

A new efficient algorithm is proposed for factoring polynomials over an algebraic extension field. The extension field is defined by a polynomial ring modulo a maximal ideal. If the maximal ideal is given by its Groebner basis, no extra Groebner basis computation is needed for factoring a polynomial over this extension field. Nothing more than linear algebraic technique is used to get a polynomial over the ground field by a generic linear map. Then this polynomial is factorized over the ground field. From these factors, the factorization of the polynomial over the extension field is obtained. The new algorithm has been implemented and computer experiments indicate that the new algorithm is very efficient, particularly in complicated examples.
