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…
We present a fast algorithm for modular exponentiation when the factorization of the modulus is known. Let $a,n,m$ be positive integers and suppose $m$ factors canonically as $\prod_{i=1}^k p_i^{e_i}$. Choose integer parameters $t_i\in [1,…
The best known unconditional deterministic complexity bound for computing the prime factorization of an integer N is O(M_int(N^(1/4) log N)), where M_int(k) denotes the cost of multiplying k-bit integers. This result is due to…
Let T^{N,chi}_{p,k}(x) be the characteristic polynomial of the Hecke operator T_p acting on the space of cusp forms S_k(N,chi). We describe the factorization of T^{N,chi}_{p,k}(x) mod l as k varies, and we explicitly calculate those…
For an element $a$ of an integral domain D under an equivalence relation \tau, the \tau-factorization of a is defined as \lambda a_1 a_2... a_k, where \lambda is a unit in D and a_i \tau a_j for all i, j. An irreducible element has no…

Ordinary binary multiplication of natural numbers can be generalized in a non-trivial way to a ternary operation by considering discrete volumes of lattice hexagons. With this operation, a natural notion of `3-primality' -- primality with…

A matrix approach to continuous iteration is proposed for general formal series. It leads, in particular, to an order{to{order iteration of the exponential function, and consequently to an algorithmic approach to tetration. Lower{order…
To factor an integer N, given that it is equal to the product of two primes, it suffices to find an integer d satisfying a certain simple numerical test. In this approach, the factorization problem equates to the problem of designing an…
An \emph{indexing} of a finite set $S$ is a bijection $D : \{1,...,|S|\} \rightarrow S$. We present an indexing for the set of quadratic residues modulo $N$ that is decodable in polynomial time on the size of $N$, given the factorization of…
Polynomial factoring has famous practical algorithms over fields-- finite, rational \& $p$-adic. However, modulo prime powers it gets hard as there is non-unique factorization and a combinatorial blowup ensues. For example, $x^2+p \bmod…
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 demonstrate that a modification of the classical index calculus algorithm can be used to factor integers. More generally, we reduce the factoring problem to finding an overdetermined system of multiplicative relations in any factor base…
The factorization of a large digit integer in polynomial time is a challenging computational task to decipher. The exponential growth of computation can be alleviated if the factorization problem is changed to an optimization problem with…
In this paper will be proved the existence of a formula to reduce a tetration of base $2^{k}$ and $5^{k}$ $\mod 10^{n}$. Indeed, last digits of a tetration are the same starting from a certain hyper-exponent; In order to compute the last…
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$(N)$?…
In the present paper we provide a probabilistic polynomial time algorithm that reduces the complete factorization of any squarefree integer $n$ to counting points on elliptic curves modulo $n$, succeeding with probability $1-\varepsilon$,…
