Abstract
In [12], P. Scowcroft and L. van den Dries proved a cell decomposition theorem for p‐adically closed fields. We work here with the notion of P‐minimal fields defined by D. Haskell and D. Macpherson in [6]. We prove that a P‐minimal field K admits cell decomposition if and only if K has definable selection. A preprint version in French of this result appeared as a prepublication [8] (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

This paper introduces a set of new algorithms, called the Space-Decomposition Minimization (SDM) algorithms, that decomposes the minimization problem into subproblems. If the decomposed-space subproblems are not coupled to each other, they can be solved independently with any convergent algorithm; o
Cell decompositions are constructed for polynomials f (x) # Z p [x] of degree n, such that n< p, using O(n 2 ) cells. When f is square-free this yields a polynomialtime algorithm for counting and approximating roots in Z p . These results extend to give a polynomial-time algorithm in the bit model f
