Factoring bivariate sparse (lacunary) polynomials
  We present a deterministic algorithm for computing all irreducible factors of degree $\le d$ of a given bivariate polynomial $f\in K[x,y]$ over an algebraic number field $K$ and their multiplicities, whose running time is polynomial in the bit length of the sparse encoding of the input and in $d$. Moreover, we show that the factors over $\Qbarra$ of degree $\le d$ which are not binomials can also be computed in time polynomial in the sparse length of the input and in $d$.
