We present a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm for the ABC problem, which is the membership problem for 2-generated commutative linear semigroups over an algebraic number field. We also obtain a polynomial time algorithm, for the (easier) membership problem, for 2-generated abelian linear groups. Furthermore, we provide a polynomial-sized encoding for the set of all solutions.
Index Terms:
polynomial-sized encoding, membership problem complexity, 2-generated commutative semigroups, rational matrices, deterministic polynomial-time algorithm, ABC problem, algebraic number field, polynomial time algorithm, 2-generated abelian linear groups
