β¦ Synopsis
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 for f # Z[x].

Let W be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, complete for an ultrametric absolute value. A(K) will denote the ring of entire functions in K and M(K) will denote the field of meromorphic functions in K. In this paper
## Abstract In [12], P. Scowcroft and L. van den Dries proved a cell decomposition theorem for __p__βadically closed fields. We work here with the notion of __P__βminimal fields defined by D. Haskell and D. Macpherson in [6]. We prove that a __P__βminimal field __K__ admits cell decomposition if an
