Pollard's Rho is a method for solving the integer factorization problem. The strategy searches for a suitable pair of elements belonging to a sequence of natural numbers that given suitable conditions yields a nontrivial factor. In…
Integer factorization is one of the vital algorithms discussed as a part of analysis of any black-box cipher suites where the cipher algorithm is based on number theory. The origin of the problem is from Discrete Logarithmic Problem which…
We show that the classical Pollard rho algorithm for discrete logarithms produces a collision in expected time O(sqrt(n)(log n)^3). This is the first nontrivial rigorous estimate for the collision probability for the unaltered Pollard rho…
We propose a novel algorithm for finding square roots modulo p. Although there exists a direct formula to calculate square root of an element modulo prime (3 mod 4), but calculating square root modulo prime (1 mod 4) is non trivial.…
It is true that different approaches have been utilised to accelerate the computation of discrete logarithm problem on elliptic curves with Pollard's Rho method. However, trapping in cycles fruitless will be obtained by using the random…
Lenstra's integer factorization algorithm is asymptotically one of the fastest known algorithms, and is ideally suited for parallel computation. We suggest a way in which the algorithm can be speeded up by the addition of a second phase.…
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…
This paper deals with the estimation of the modes of an univariate mixture when the number of components is known and when the component density are well separated. We propose an algorithm based on the minimization of the "kp" criterion we…
Given n=p*q with p and q prim and y in Z_{p*q}^*. Shor's Algorithm computes the order r of y, i.e. y^r=1 (mod n). If r=2k is even and y^k \ne -1 (mod n) we can easily compute a non trivial factor of n: gcd(y^k-1,n). In the original paper it…
Parallelization of A* path planning is mostly limited by the number of possible motions, which is far less than the level of parallelism that modern processors support. In this paper, we go beyond the limitations of traditional parallelism…
The rodeo algorithm has been proposed recently as an efficient method in quantum computing for projection of a given initial state onto a state of fixed energy for systems with discrete spectra. In the initial formulation of the rodeo…
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…
Building on work of Boneh, Durfee and Howgrave-Graham, we present a deterministic algorithm that provably finds all integers $p$ such that $p^r \mathrel| N$ in time $O(N^{1/4r+\epsilon})$ for any $\epsilon > 0$. For example, the algorithm…
Let $t$ be a permutation (that shall play the role of the {\em text}) on $[n]$ and a pattern $p$ be a sequence of $m$ distinct integer(s) of $[n]$, $m\leq n$. The pattern $p$ occurs in $t$ in position $i$ if and only if $p_1... p_m$ is…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbf{R}^d$, and a positive integer $k \leq n$, the $k$-dispersion problem is that of selecting $k$ of the given points so that the minimum inter-point distance among them is maximized (under Euclidean…
Let $p$ be a prime number, $p=2^nq+1$, where $q$ is odd. D. Shanks described an algorithm to compute square roots $\pmod{p}$ which needs $O(\log q + n^2)$ modular multiplications. In this note we describe two modifications of this…
