1. Right Buchberger algorithm over bijective skew PBW extensions

W. Fajardo.
In this paper we present a right version of the algorithms developed for to compute Gröbner bases over bijective skew PBW extensions in the left case given in [3]. In particular, we adapt the theory of reduction and we build a right division algorithm and generate a right version of Buchberger algorithm over bijective skew PBW extensions, finally we illustrate some examples using the SPBWE.lib library implemented in Maple (see [1], [4]). It is important to note that the development of this theory is fundamental to complete the SPBWE.lib library and to be able to develop many of the homological applications that arise as result of obtaining the right Gröbner bases over skew PBW extensions.

2. High-degree compression functions on alternative models of elliptic curves and their applications

Michał Wroński ; Tomasz Kijko ; Robert Dryło.
This paper presents method for obtaining high-degree compression functions using natural symmetries in a given model of an elliptic curve. Such symmetries may be found using symmetry of involution $[-1]$ and symmetry of translation morphism $\tau_T=P+T$, where $T$ is the $n$-torsion point which naturally belongs to the $E(\mathbb K)$ for a given elliptic curve model. We will study alternative models of elliptic curves with points of order $2$ and $4$, and specifically Huff's curves and the Hessian family of elliptic curves (like Hessian, twisted Hessian and generalized Hessian curves) with a point of order $3$. We bring up some known compression functions on those models and present new ones as well. For (almost) every presented compression function, differential addition and point doubling formulas are shown. As in the case of high-degree compression functions manual investigation of differential addition and doubling formulas is very difficult, we came up with a Magma program which relies on the Gröbner basis. We prove that if for a model $E$ of an elliptic curve exists an isomorphism $\phi:E \to E_M$, where $E_M$ is the Montgomery curve and for any $P \in E(\mathbb K)$ holds that $\phi(P)=(\phi_x(P), \phi_y(P))$, then for a model $E$ one may find compression function of degree $2$. Moreover, one may find, defined for this compression function, differential addition and doubling formulas of the same efficiency as Montgomery's. However, it seems that for the […]

3. A Non-Deterministic Multiset Query Language

Bartosz Zielinski.
We develop a multiset query and update language executable in a term rewriting system. Its most remarkable feature, besides non-standard approach to quantification and introduction of fresh values, is non-determinism - a query result is not uniquely determined by the database. We argue that this feature is very useful, e.g., in modelling user choices during simulation or reachability analysis of a data-centric business process - the intended application of our work. Query evaluation is implemented by converting the query into a terminating term rewriting system and normalizing the initial term which encapsulates the current database. A normal form encapsulates a query result. We prove that our language can express any relational algebra query. Finally, we present a simple business process specification framework (and an example specification). Both syntax and semantics of our query language is implemented in Maude.
