Filtering step for NFS and FFS

Participant : Cyril Bouvier.

Cyril Bouvier studied the filtering step for the Number Field Sieve. A better weight function, used during the clique removal step, was found which allows to construct smaller matrices for the linear algebra step. A preprint is avalaible [12] . The filtering step for the Function Field Sieve was written in Cado-nfs .
