Gook Hwa Cho, Namhun Koo, Eunhye Ha, and Soonhak Kwon

Abstract

Efficient computation of r-th root in Fq has many applications in computational number theory and many other related areas. We present a new r-th root formula which generalizes Müller's result on square root, and which provides a possible improvement of the Cipolla-Lehmer algorithm for general case. More precisely, for given -th power , we show that there exists such that where and is a root of certain irreducible polynomial of degree over .
