We use the circle method to evaluate the behavior of limit-periodic functions on primes. For those limit-periodic functions that satisfy a kind of Barban-Davenport-Halberstam condition and whose singular series converge fast enough, we can…
In this work, we add an additional condition to strong pseudo prime test to base 2. Then, we provide theoretical and heuristics evidences showing that the resulting algorithm catches all composite numbers. Our method is based on the…
Computing the simulation preorder of a given Kripke structure (i.e., a directed graph with $n$ labeled vertices) has crucial applications in model checking of temporal logic. It amounts to solving a specific two-players reachability game,…
We provide a new algorithm for tabulating composite numbers which are pseudoprimes to both a Fermat test and a Lucas test. Our algorithm is optimized for parameter choices that minimize the occurrence of pseudoprimes, and for pseudoprimes…
The $2$kth pseudomoments of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ are, following Conrey and Gamburd, the $2k$th integral moments of the partial sums of $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line. For fixed $k>1/2$, these moments are known to grow like…
We consider a class of multi-stage robust covering problems, where additional information is revealed about the problem instance in each stage, but the cost of taking actions increases. The dilemma for the decision-maker is whether to wait…
This note presents a formalisation done in Coq of Lucas-Lehmer test and Pocklington certificate for prime numbers. They both are direct consequences of Fermat little theorem. Fermat little theorem is proved using elementary group theory and…
We study linearity testing over the $p$-biased hypercube $(\{0,1\}^n, \mu_p^{\otimes n})$ in the 1% regime. For a distribution $\nu$ supported over $\{x\in \{0,1\}^k:\sum_{i=1}^k x_i=0 \text{ (mod 2)} \}$, with marginal distribution $\mu_p$…
We introduce a novel method for strong classical simulation of quantum circuits based on optimally k-partitioning ZX-diagrams, reducing each part individually, and then efficiently cross-referencing their results to conclude the overall…
Given a large positive integer $N$, how quickly can one construct a prime number larger than $N$ (or between $N$ and 2N)? Using probabilistic methods, one can obtain a prime number in time at most $\log^{O(1)} N$ with high probability by…
The strong probable primality test is an important practical tool for discovering prime numbers. Its effectiveness derives from the following fact: for any odd composite number $n$, if a base $a$ is chosen at random, the algorithm is…
We propose Subsampling MCMC, a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) framework where the likelihood function for $n$ observations is estimated from a random subset of $m$ observations. We introduce a highly efficient unbiased estimator of the…
Piecewise testable languages are a subclass of the regular languages. There are many equivalent ways of defining them; Simon's congruence $\sim_k$ is one of the most classical approaches. Two words are $\sim_k$-equivalent if they have the…
We give a new proof of F\"urer's bound for the cost of multiplying n-bit integers in the bit complexity model. Unlike F\"urer, our method does not require constructing special coefficient rings with "fast" roots of unity. Moreover, we prove…
We consider modal logic extended with the well-known temporal operator 'eventually' and provide a cut-elimination procedure for a cyclic sequent calculus that captures this fragment. The work showcases an adaptation of the reductive…
We give a new sufficient condition which allows to test primality of Fermat's numbers. This characterization uses uniquely values at most equal to tested Fermat number. The robustness of this result is due to a strict use of elementary…
Clustering is a classic topic in optimization with $k$-means being one of the most fundamental such problems. In the absence of any restrictions on the input, the best known algorithm for $k$-means with a provable guarantee is a simple…
Let $k$ and $n$ be positive integers, $n>k$. Define $r(n,k)$ to be the minimum positive value of $$ |\sqrt{a_1} + ... + \sqrt{a_k} - \sqrt{b_1} - >... -\sqrt{b_k} | $$ where $ a_1, a_2, ..., a_k, b_1, b_2, ..., b_k $ are positive integers…
Building on techniques recently introduced by the second author, and further developed by the first author, we show that a positive integer $N$ may be rigorously and deterministically factored into primes in at most \[ O\left( \frac{N^{1/5}…
We give an efficient randomized algorithm for approximating an arbitrary element of $SU(2)$ by a product of Clifford+$T$ operators, up to any given error threshold $\epsilon>0$. Under a mild hypothesis on the distribution of primes, the…
