Root finding algorithms over local rings

Guillaume Quintin, in collaboration with J. Berthomieu and G. Lecerf, has developed new algorithms computing the roots of polynomials over complete local unramified rings [7] ; this is important in the second stage of Guruswami–Sudan list decoding algorithms for codes over finite rings. Quintin has implemented these algorithms in Mathemagix , using his FiniteFieldz and Quintix librairies.
