Abstract

We modify an old algorithm for expanding powers of dense polynomials to make it work for sparse polynomials, by using a heap to sort monomials. It has better complexity and lower space requirements than other sparse powering algorithms for dense polynomials. We show how to parallelize the method, and compare its performance on a series of benchmark problems to other methods and the Magma, Maple and Singular computer algebra systems.
