Improved Sparse Multivariate Polynomial Interpolation Algorithms

We consider the problem of interpolating sparse multivariate polynomials from their values. We discuss two algorithms for sparse interpolation, one due to Ben-Or and Tiwari (1988) and the other due to Zippel (1988). We present efficient algorithms for finding the rank of certain special Toeplitz systems arising in the Ben-Or and Tiwari algorithm and for solving transposed Vandermonde systems of equations, the use of which greatly improves the time complexities of the two interpolation algorithms.
