We estimate from below the lower density of the set of prime numbers p such that p-1 has a prime factor of size at least p^c, where c lies in between 1/4 and 1/2. We also establish upper and lower bounds on the counting function of the set…

Designing a deterministic polynomial time algorithm for factoring univariate polynomials over finite fields remains a notorious open problem. In this paper, we present an unconditional deterministic algorithm that takes as input an…

In this article we present applications of smooth numbers to the unconditional derandomization of some well-known integer factoring algorithms. We begin with Pollard's $p-1$ algorithm, which finds in random polynomial time the prime…

We revisit the problem of integer factorization with number-theoretic oracles, including a well-known problem: can we factor an integer $N$ unconditionally, in deterministic polynomial time, given the value of the Euler totient $$\Phi$(N)$?…

We show that for integers $n$, whose ratios of consecutive divisors are bounded above by an arbitrary constant, the normal order of the number of prime factors is $C \log \log n$, where $C=(1-e^{-\gamma})^{-1} = 2.280...$ and $\gamma$ is…

Given a square, nonsingular matrix of univariate polynomials $\mathbf{F}\in\mathbb{K}[x]^{n\times n}$ over a field $\mathbb{K}$, we give a deterministic algorithm for finding the determinant of $\mathbf{F}$. The complexity of the algorithm…

A border u of a word w is a proper factor of w occurring both as a prefix and as a suffix. The maximal unbordered factor of w is the longest factor of w which does not have a border. Here an O(n log n)-time with high probability (or O(n log…

We prove that $n$-bit integers may be multiplied in $O(n \log n \, 4^{\log^* n})$ bit operations. This complexity bound had been achieved previously by several authors, assuming various unproved number-theoretic hypotheses. Our proof is…

A precise estimation of the computational complexity in Shor's factoring algorithm under the condition that the large integer we want to factorize is composed by the product of two prime numbers, is derived by the results related to number…

We provide a new bi-criteria $\tilde{O}(\log^2 k)$ competitive algorithm for explainable $k$-means clustering. Explainable $k$-means was recently introduced by Dasgupta, Frost, Moshkovitz, and Rashtchian (ICML 2020). It is described by an…

Let $n = \mathrm{p}\!\cdot\!\mathrm{q}$ (p < q) and $\Delta = \lvert p-q \rvert$, where p,q are odd integers, then, it is hypothesized that factorizing this composite n will take O(1) time once the steady state value is reached for any…
