If the coefficient of the polynomial positive

I want to know what is following sum coefficient looks like. We sum over all integers $p$, $q$ also we put the condition that $q$ is even. Also, it should depend on the parity of $k$ $$\bar{S}(k)=\...

Existence of Randomized polynomial time algorithm and some arithmetic analog of $ACC^0$ circuits for Factoring of primitive polynomials before LLL?

Before LLL came along in $1982$ there was no deterministic polynomial (in degree and number of bits in coefficients) way to factor square free primitive polynomials in $\Bbb Z[x]$. However was there ...
