This research addresses the multiprocessor scheduling problem of hard real-time systems, and it especially focuses on optimal and global schedulers when practical constraints are taken into account. First, we propose an improvement of the…

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…

This paper deals with simultaneously fast and in-place algorithms for formulae where the result has to be linearly accumulated: some output variables are also input variables, linked by a linear dependency. Fundamental examples include the…

We state a general purpose algorithm for quickly finding primes in evenly divided sub-intervals. Legendre's conjecture claims that for every positive integer $n$, there exists a prime between $n^2$ and $(n+1)^2$. Oppermann's conjecture…

We show, for the input vectors $(a_0, a_1, ..., a_{n-1})$ and $(b_0, b_1, ..., b_{n-1})$, where $a_i$'s and $b_j$'s are real numbers, after $O(n\log^4 n)$ time preprocessing for each of them, the vector multiplication $(a_0, a_1, ...,…

This article gives a direct formula for the computation of B(n) using the asymptotic formula $$B (n) \approx 2 {\frac {n!}{{\pi}^{n}{2}^{n}}}$$ where n is even and $n >> 1$. This is simply based on the fact that $\zeta (n)$ is very near 1…

The previously fastest algorithm for deciding the existence of an independent cut had a runtime of $\mathcal{O}^*(1.4423^n)$, where $n$ is the order of the input graph. We improve this to $\mathcal{O}^*(1.4143^n)$. In fact, we prove a…

The road to computing on quantum devices has been accelerated by the promises that come from using Shor's algorithm to reduce the complexity of prime factorization. However, this promise hast not yet been realized due to noisy qubits and…

We set new speed records for multiplying long polynomials over finite fields of characteristic two. Our multiplication algorithm is based on an additive FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) by Lin, Chung, and Huang in 2014 comparing to previously…

We study the computational complexity of two Boolean nonlinearity measures: the nonlinearity and the multiplicative complexity. We show that if one-way functions exist, no algorithm can compute the multiplicative complexity in time…

The number of steps any classical computer requires in order to find the prime factors of an $l$-digit integer $N$ increases exponentially with $l$, at least using algorithms known at present. Factoring large integers is therefore…

Let $n=a^2b$, where $b$ is square-free. In this paper we present an algorithm based on class groups of binary quadratic forms that finds the square-free decomposition of $n$, i.e. $a$ and $b$, in heuristic expected time: $$…

In this paper we prove two results. The first theorem uses a paper of Kim \cite{K} to show that for fixed primes $p_1,...,p_k$, and for fixed integers $m_1,...,m_k$, with $p_i\not|m_i$, the numbers $(e_{p_1}(n),...,e_{p_k}(n))$ are…

We consider a problem first proposed by Mahler and Popken in 1953 and later developed by Coppersmith, Erd\H{o}s, Guy, Isbell, Selfridge, and others. Let $f(n)$ be the complexity of $n \in \mathbb{Z^{+}}$, where $f(n)$ is defined as the…

We develop a meta-algorithm that, given a polynomial (in one or more variables), and a prime p, produces a fast (logarithmic time) algorithm that takes a positive integer n and outputs the number of times each residue class modulo p appears…

In the paper it is shown that there exist infinite classes of fast DFT algorithms having multiplicative complexity lower than O(NlogN), i.e. smaller than their arithmetical complexity. The derivation starts with nesting of Discrete Fourier…

Interval scheduling is a basic problem in the theory of algorithms and a classical task in combinatorial optimization. We develop a set of techniques for partitioning and grouping jobs based on their starting and ending times, that enable…

An algorithm is given to factor an integer with $N$ digits in $\ln^m N$ steps, with $m$ approximately 4 or 5. Textbook quadratic sieve methods are exponentially slower. An improvement with the aid of an a particular function would provide a…

Computing all-pairs shortest paths is a fundamental and much-studied problem with many applications. Unfortunately, despite intense study, there are still no significantly faster algorithms for it than the $\mathcal{O}(n^3)$ time algorithm…

We study the problem of multiway number partition optimization, which has a myriad of applications in the decision, learning and optimization literature. Even though the original multiway partitioning problem is NP-hard and requires…
