Abstract

Efficient algorithms are derived for computing the entries of theBezout resultant matrix for two univariate polynomials of degree nand for calculating the entries of the Dixon-Cayley resultantmatrix for three bivariate polynomials of bidegree (m, n). Standardmethods based on explicit formulas require O(n3)additions and multiplications to compute all the entries of theBezout resultant matrix. Here we present a new recursive algorithmfor computing these entries that uses only O(n2)additions and multiplications. The improvement is even moredramatic in the bivariate setting. Established techniques based onexplicit formulas require O(m4n4) additionsand multiplications to calculate all the entries of theDixon-Cayley resultant matrix. In contrast, our recursive algorithmfor computing these entries uses only O(m2n3)additions and multiplications. Copyright 2002 Academic Press
