Abstract

This paper gives a theoretical analysis for the algorithms to compute functional decomposition for multivariate polynomials based on differentiation and homogenization which were proposed by Ye, Dai, and Lam (1999) and were developed by Faugère, Perret (2006, 2008, 2009). The authors show that a degree proper functional decomposition for a set of randomly decomposable quartic homogenous polynomials can be computed using the algorithm with high probability. This solves a conjecture proposed by Ye, Dai, and Lam (1999). The authors also propose a conjecture which asserts that the decomposition for a set of polynomials can be computed from that of its homogenization and show that the conjecture is valid with high probability for quartic polynomials. Finally, the authors prove that the right decomposition factors for a set of polynomials can be computed from its right decomposition factor space.
