Informally, an algorithm is a set of explicit instructions used to solve a problem (e.g. Euclid's algorithm for computing the greatest common divisor of two integers). For more specific questions on algorithms, this tag may be used in conjunction with the approximation-algorithms, algorithmic-randomness and algorithmic-topology tags.

Algorithm for finding integral points $P,n P$ on an elliptic curve

We found and implemented algorithm which finds integral points of infinite order $P=(X_1,Y_1)$ and $nP=(X_2,Y_2),n>1$ on an elliptic curve $E : y^2=x^3+a_4 x + a_6$. Let $X(x)/Z(x)$ be the $X$ coordin …

Finding polynomial $f$ given $\{f(x_i)\}$ for unknown $x_i$

Given $\{a_i=f(x_i)\}$ ($x_i$ are unknown) and $d$, what are the best algorithms to find $f$ or another polynomial $g$, satisfying $a_i=g(y_i)$ for known $y_i$, possibly $x_i=y_i$? …

Small roots of $f(x) \equiv 0 \pmod{n^2}$

Let $f(x)$ be squarefree polynomial with integer coefficients. For integer $n$ define "small root modulo $n^2$" integer $a$ satisfying $1 \le a \le n$ and $f(a) \equiv 0 \pmod{n^2}$ and $f(a) \ne 0$. …

Is Hamiltonian cycle fixed parameter tractable with parameter clique cover?

Let $G$ be connected simple graph. Clique cover of graph $G$ is partition of the vertices of $G$ into $k$ disjoint cliques $D'_i$. Given $G$ and $k$-clique cover, can we solve Hamiltonian cycle in …

Can we make cryptography signature algorithm based on hardness of isomorphism?

In public key cryptography, Alice knows functions $f$ and its inverse $f^{-1}$. $f$ is public and $f^{-1}$ is secret. To sign a message $m$, she gives $(m,a=f^{-1}(m))$. To verify a signature, the ver …
