Let $a,b\in \mathbb{N}$ be fixed and coprime such that $a>b$, and let $N$ be any number of the form $a^n\pm b^n$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$. We will generalize a result of Bostan, Gaudry and Schost and prove that we may compute the prime…

In this article we develop an algorithm which computes a divisor of an integer $N$, which is assumed to be neither prime nor the power of a prime. The algorithm uses discrete time heat diffusion on a finite graph. If $N$ has $m$ distinct…

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…

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$(N)$?…

Fermat's well-known factorization algorithm is based on finding a representation of natural numbers $N$ as the difference of squares. In 1895, Lawrence generalized this idea and applied it to multiples $kN$ of the original number. A…

Let $N=UV$, where $U,V$ are integers, with $1< U,V <N$, and $\gcd(U,V)=1$. We describe a probabilistic algorithm for factoring $N$ using $O(\max(U,V)^{1/2+\epsilon})$ bit operations.
