Consider a polynomial f with an arbitrary but fixed number of variables and with integral coefficients. We present an algorithm which reduces the problem of finding the irreducible factors of f in polynomial-time in the total degree of f and the coefficient lengths of f to factoring a univariate integral polynomial. Together with A. Lenstra’s,.H. Lenstra’s and L. Lovasz’ polynomial-time factorization algorithm for univariate integral polynomials [Math. Ann., 261 (1982), pp. 515–534] this… Expand
