  2. Factorization of polynomials over finite fields - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of...

    Like distinct-degree factorization algorithm, Rabin's algorithm [5] is based on the Lemma stated above. Distinct-degree factorization algorithm tests every d not greater than half the degree of the input polynomial. Rabin's algorithm takes advantage that the factors are not needed for considering fewer d. Otherwise, it is similar to distinct ...

  3. Miller–Rabin primality test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller–Rabin_primality_test

    Miller–Rabin primality test. The Miller–Rabin primality test or Rabin–Miller primality test is a probabilistic primality test: an algorithm which determines whether a given number is likely to be prime, similar to the Fermat primality test and the Solovay–Strassen primality test. It is of historical significance in the search for a ...

  4. Primality test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primality_test

    The Miller–Rabin primality test and Solovay–Strassen primality test are more sophisticated variants, which detect all composites (once again, this means: for every composite number n, at least 3/4 (Miller–Rabin) or 1/2 (Solovay–Strassen) of numbers a are witnesses of compositeness of n). These are also compositeness tests.

  5. Irreducibility (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducibility_(mathematics)

    In the theory of manifolds, an n-manifold is irreducible if any embedded (n − 1)-sphere bounds an embedded n-ball. Implicit in this definition is the use of a suitable category, such as the category of differentiable manifolds or the category of piecewise-linear manifolds. The notions of irreducibility in algebra and manifold theory are related.

  6. Computational irreducibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_irreducibility

    Marius Krumm and Markus P Muller tie computational irreducibility to Compatibilism. [1] They refine concepts via the intermediate requirement of a new concept called computational sourcehood that demands essentially full and almost-exact representation of features associated with problem or process represented, and a full no-shortcut computation.

  7. Casus irreducibilis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casus_irreducibilis

    But if the test shows that there is no rational root, then the polynomial may be irreducible, in which case casus irreducibilis applies, cos(θ ⁄ 5) and sin(θ ⁄ 5) are not constructible, the angle θ ⁄ 5 is not constructible, and the angle θ is not classically pentasectible. An example of this is when one attempts to construct a 25-gon ...

  8. Gauss's lemma (polynomials) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_lemma_(polynomials)

    For a concrete example one can take R = Z[i√5], p = 1 + i√5, a = 1 − i√5, q = 2, b = 3. In this example the polynomial 3 + 2 X + 2 X 2 (obtained by dividing the right hand side by q = 2 ) provides an example of the failure of the irreducibility statement (it is irreducible over R , but reducible over its field of fractions Q [ i √5] ).

  9. Markov chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain

    Tree diagram. v. t. e. A Markov chain or Markov process is a stochastic process describing a sequence of possible events in which the probability of each event depends only on the state attained in the previous event. Informally, this may be thought of as, "What happens next depends only on the state of affairs now."
