Abstract

Let n,@? be positive integers with @?@?2n-1. Let R be an arbitrary nontrivial ring, not necessarily commutative and not necessarily having a multiplicative identity and R[x] be the polynomial ring over R. In this paper, we give improved upper bounds on the minimum number of multiplications needed to multiply two arbitrary polynomials of degree at most (n-1) modulo x^n over R. Moreover, we introduce a new complexity notion, the minimum number of multiplications needed to multiply two arbitrary polynomials of degree at most (n-1) modulo x^@? over R. This new complexity notion provides improved bounds on the minimum number of multiplications needed to multiply two arbitrary polynomials of degree at most (n-1) modulo x^n over R.
