We give an account of lax orthogonal factorisation systems on order-enriched categories. Among them, we define and characterise the KZ-reflective ones, in a way that mirrors the characterisation of reflective orthogonal factorisation…
This work is a tutorial on Shor's factoring algorithm by means of a worked out example. Some basic concepts of Quantum Mechanics and quantum circuits are reviewed. It is intended for non-specialists which have basic knowledge on…
We show that a "mate'' $B$ of a set $A$ in a near-factorization $(A,B)$ of a finite group $G$ is unique. Further, we describe how to compute the mate $B$ very efficiently using an explicit formula for $B$. We use this approach to give an…
Polytopes are ubiquitous in different areas of mathematics. Gleason and Hubard established a factorisation theorem, stating that every abstract polytope has a unique factorisation into prime polytopes. We compute the automorphism group of a…
If $A$ is an n-by-n matrix over a field $F$ ($A\in M_{n}(F)$), then $A$ is said to ``have an LU factorization'' if there exists a lower triangular matrix $L\in M_{n}(F)$ and an upper triangular matrix $U\in M_{n}(F)$ such that $$A=LU.$$ We…
We derive new formulas for the number of unordered (distinct) factorizations with $k$ parts of a positive integer $n$ as sums over the partitions of $k$ and an auxiliary function, the number of partitions of the prime exponents of $n$,…
We show factorization of polynomials in one variable over the tropical semiring is in general NP-complete, either if all coefficients are finite, or if all are either 0 or infinity (Boolean case). We give algorithms for the factorization…
This is the first one in a series of papers classifying the factorizations of almost simple groups with nonsolvable factors. In this paper we deal with almost simple linear groups.
We obtain divisibility conditions on the multiplicative orders of elements of the form $\zeta + \zeta^{-1}$ in a finite field by exploiting a link to the arithmetic of real quadratic fields.
We offer multiplication method for factoring big natural numbers which extends the group of the Fermat's and Lehman's factorization algorithms and has run-time complexity $O(n^{1/3})$. This paper is argued the finiteness of proposed…
We give a simple proof that the first-order theory of well orders is axiomatized by transfinite induction, and that it is decidable.
In this paper we prove a few propositions concerning factorizations of morphisms in pro categories, the most important of which solves an open problem of Isaksen concerning the existence of certain types of functorial factorizations. On our…
We give a geometric approach to integer factorization. This approach is based on special approximations of segments of the curve that is represented by $y=n/x$, where $n$ is the integer whose factorization we need.
We present new algorithms to detect and correct errors in the lower-upper factorization of a matrix, or the triangular linear system solution, over an arbitrary field. Our main algorithms do not require any additional information or…
We construct an iterative method for factorising small strict n-categories into a unique (up to isomorphism) collection of small 1- categories. Following this we develop the theory to include a large class of $\infty$-categories. We use…
Cox rings of normal varieties are factorially graded, i.e. homogeneous elements allow a unique decomposition into homogeneous factors. We study this property from an algebraic point of view and give a criterion which in a sense reduces it…
We study the problem of decomposition (non-commutative factorization) of linear ordinary differential operators near an irregular singular point. The solution (given in terms of the Newton diagram and the respective characteristic numbers)…
The factorizations of the polynomial $X^n-1$ and the cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n$ over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ have been studied for a very long time. Explicit factorizations have been given for the case that $\mathrm{rad}(n)\mid…
Jones and Boston conjectured that the factorization process for iterates of irreducible quadratic polynomials over finite fields is approximated by a Markov model. In this paper, we find unexpected and intricate behavior for some quadratic…
