Abstract

We present an algorithm for factoring differential systems with coefficients in Fp(z). Such an algorithm has already been given by van der Put in [20], [24, 13.1] and [22]. We recast his ideas to handle systems directly and we add some comparisons of strategies, an implementation in Maple1 and a complexity analysis. The central tool for factoring in characteristic p is the p curvature. We prove the links between the p-curvature and the eigenring and we show how to use these to obtain another algorithm following the exposition of Barkatou in [1].
