Abstract

Motivatived by Guruswami and Rudra's construction of folded Reed-Solomon codes, we give algorithms to solve functional equations of the form Q(x, f(x), f(x)) = 0, where Q is a trivariate polynomial. We compare two approaches, one based on Newton's iteration and the second using relaxed series techniques.
