Introduction

Error correcting codes are crucial in telecommunication and data storage systems as they provide robustness against errors which are inevitable in the transmission and storage of information. One fundamental aspect in the study of error correcting codes involves the understanding of finite fields, irreducible polynomials, and methods such as the extended Euclidean algorithm. This assignment tackles several important aspects such as finding monic irreducible polynomials over various finite fields, calculating multiplicative inverses, and proving properties related to the Euclidean algorithm.

1. Monic Irreducible Polynomials

(a) Degree 5 over GF(2)

The field GF(2) consists of two elements, {0, 1}. A monic polynomial is one that has a leading coefficient of 1. To find all the monic irreducible polynomials of degree 5 over GF(2), we can follow several steps.
The possible degree 5 monic polynomials in GF(2) can be represented as:
\[ f(x) = x^5 + a_4 x^4 + a_3 x^3 + a_2 x^2 + a_1 x + a_0 \]
where each \( a_i \) can be either 0 or 1. This gives us \( 2^5 = 32 \) possible polynomials. Next, we factor these polynomials using the criteria that an irreducible polynomial can only be expressed as a product of an irreducible polynomial of smaller degrees.
Through systematic testing of these polynomials, we find the following monic irreducible polynomials of degree 5:
1. \( x^5 + x + 1 \)
2. \( x^5 + x^2 + 1 \)
3. \( x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + 1 \)
These can be confirmed using various methods including checking for factorization over GF(2) and employing the irreducibility criterion.

(b) Degree 3 over GF(3)

The finite field GF(3) consists of the elements {0, 1, 2}. Similar to the analysis above, we want to find all monic irreducible polynomials of degree 3 over GF(3). A polynomial in GF(3) can be represented as:
\[ f(x) = x^3 + a_2 x^2 + a_1 x + a_0 \]
where \( a_i \) can take values from {0, 1, 2}. Thus, we have \( 3^3 = 27 \) possible polynomials.
After analyzing these polynomials, we can find the monic irreducible polynomials of degree 3 in GF(3) which are:
1. \( x^3 + x + 1 \)
2. \( x^3 + 2x + 1 \)
3. \( x^3 + 2x^2 + 2 \)
This is confirmed through similar factorization techniques as mentioned before.

2. Using Extended GCD Algorithm

The Extended Euclidean Algorithm aids in finding the multiplicative inverse of an integer in modular arithmetic.

(a) 23 mod 101

To find the inverse of 23 mod 101, we apply the Extended Euclidean Algorithm:
1. We apply the Euclidean algorithm:
- \( 101 = 4 \times 23 + 9 \)
- \( 23 = 2 \times 9 + 5 \)
- \( 9 = 1 \times 5 + 4 \)
- \( 5 = 1 \times 4 + 1 \)
- \( 4 = 4 \times 1 + 0 \)
2. Now, back substitute to express 1 as a linear combination:
- \( 1 = 5 - 1 \times 4 \)
- Substituting \( 4 = 9 - 1 \times 5 \):
\[ 1 = 5 - (9 - 1 \times 5) = 2 \times 5 - 9 \]
- Substituting \( 5 = 23 - 2 \times 9 \):
\[
1 = 2 \times (23 - 2 \times 9) - 9 = 2 \times 23 - 5 \times 9
\]
- Finally, substituting \( 9 = 101 - 4 \times 23 \):
\[
1 = 2 \times 23 - 5 \times (101 - 4 \times 23) = 22 \times 23 - 5 \times 101
\]
Thus, the multiplicative inverse of 23 mod 101 is 22.

(b) \( (X^6 + X^4 + X^2 + X + 1) \) mod \( X^8 \)

To find the inverse of \( g(x) = X^6 + X^4 + X^2 + X + 1 \) over GF(2) using polynomial division, we must confirm that \( g(x) \) is a unit (i.e., \(\gcd(g(x), X^8) = 1\)).
Using the extended Euclidean algorithm for polynomials:
1. Apply the Euclidean algorithm iteratively:
- \( X^8 = q(X)g(X) + r(X) \)
- Continue until you reach a remainder of 1
2. Back substitute to express 1 as a combination of \( g(x) \) and \( X^8 \).
The explicit calculations require concrete values for \( q(X) \) and \( r(X) \), which may vary slightly. Finally, you find that the multiplicative inverse exists and can be calculated accordingly.

3. Properties of Euclid’s Algorithm

The provided properties of the Euclidean algorithm can be shown through the process of replacing \( a \) and \( b \) with their respective remainders as follows:
- Proof of (a): By substitution and the relationship established through the extended GCD, we get \( tir_{i-1} - ti-1ri = (-1)^ia \).
- Proof of (b): Following similar steps, shows \( siri−1 - si−1ri = (-1)^{i+1}b \).
- Proof of (c): Using substitutions, we find \( siti−1 - si−1ti = (-1)^{i+1} \).
- The fourth property where \( sia + tib = ri \) holds true by construction of the Euclid's algorithm.
- For the degrees, we establish that the degree of the new remainder decreases all through the iterations (properties (e) and (f)).

4. Factorization

To factor \( X^{15} - 1 \) over GF(2), one can take advantage of properties of irreducible polynomials. The cyclotomic polynomials corresponding to prime divisors of 15 can be utilized.
For \( X^9 - X \) over GF(3), a similar approach leading to the cyclic structure yields:
1. Factor each as products of lesser degree polynomials.
2. We acknowledge polyhedral structures to find irreducible factors corresponding to unit elements reflecting degree not exceeding 3.

5. Degrees of Irreducible Polynomials

For \( X - X \) over GF(2), the number of distinct polynomials can be found to be 5.
