Machin-like arctangent relations are classical tools for computing $\pi$, with efficiency quantified by the Lehmer measure ($\lambda$). We present a framework for discovering low-measure relations by coupling the PSLQ integer-relation…
Kaplan et al. [2020] (`Kaplan') and Hoffmann et al. [2022] (`Chinchilla') studied the scaling behavior of transformers trained on next-token language prediction. These studies produced different estimates for how the number of parameters…
In this paper we show that a certain subset of the Carmichael numbers contains good Euler pseudoprimes, composite numbers that for many bases survive the Solovay-Strassen primality test. We present a classification of Carmichael numbers,…
Sometimes we need the approximate value of the partition number in a simple and efficient way. There are already several formulae to calculate the partition number p(n). But they are either inconvenient for most people (not majored in math)…
In [3] it was shown that four seemingly different algorithms for computing low-rank approximate solutions $X_j$ to the solution $X$ of large-scale continuous-time algebraic Riccati equations (CAREs) $0 = \mathcal{R}(X) :=…
Improving on some recent results of Matom\"aki and of Wright, we show that the number of Carmichael numbers to $X$ in a coprime residue class exceeds $X^{1/(6\log\log\log X)}$ for all sufficiently large $X$ depending on the modulus of the…
In approximation of functions based on point values, least-squares methods provide more stability than interpolation, at the expense of increasing the sampling budget. We show that near-optimal approximation error can nevertheless be…
Contraction Hierarchies (CH) (Geisberger et al., 2008) is one of the most widely used algorithms for shortest-path queries on road networks. Compared to Dijkstra's algorithm, CH enables orders of magnitude faster query performance through a…
A method for computing the n'th decimal digit of pi in O(n^3 log(n)^3) time and with very little memory is presented here. The computation is based on the recently discovered Bailey-Borwein-Plouffe algorithm and the use of a new algorithm…
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 Karmarkar-Karp differencing algorithm is the best known polynomial time heuristic for the number partitioning problem, fundamental in both theoretical computer science and statistical physics. We analyze the performance of the…
In this paper, harkening back to ideas of Hardy and Ramanujan, Mahler and de Bruijn, with the addition of more recent results on the Fibonacci Dirichlet series, we determine the asymptotic number of ways $p_F(n)$ to write an integer as the…
Alford, Granville, and Pomerance proved that there are infinitely many Carmichael numbers. In the same paper, they ask if a statement analogous to Bertrand's postulate could be proven for Carmichael numbers. In this paper, we answer this…
We present a general technique for approximating bicriteria minimization problems with positive-valued, polynomially computable objective functions. Given $0<\epsilon\leq1$ and a polynomial-time $\alpha$-approximation algorithm for the…
In this work, we obtain some new lower bounds for the number $\mathcal N_B(x)$ of Nov\'ak numbers less than or equal to $x$. We also prove, conditionally on Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, the upper estimates for the number of primes…
In this paper, we describe the randomized QLP (RQLP) algorithm and its enhanced version (ERQLP) for computing the low rank approximation to $A$ of size $m\times n$ efficiently such that $A\approx QLP$, where $L$ is the rank-$k$…
We prove a query complexity lower bound for $\mathsf{QMA}$ protocols that solve approximate counting: estimating the size of a set given a membership oracle. This gives rise to an oracle $A$ such that $\mathsf{SBP}^A \not\subset…
The product of a matrix chain consisting of $n$ matrices can be computed in $C_{n-1}$ (Catalan's number) different ways, each identified by a distinct parenthesisation of the chain. The best algorithm to select a parenthesisation that…

We initiate a systematic study of utilizing predictions to improve over approximation guarantees of classic algorithms, without increasing the running time. We propose a systematic method for a wide class of optimization problems that ask…
