  2. Integer factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization

    A general-purpose factoring algorithm, also known as a Category 2, Second Category, or Kraitchik family algorithm, [10] has a running time which depends solely on the size of the integer to be factored. This is the type of algorithm used to factor RSA numbers. Most general-purpose factoring algorithms are based on the congruence of squares method.

  3. Factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization

    Conversely, the factor theorem asserts that, if r is a root of P(x) = 0, then P(x) may be factored as = (), where Q(x) is the quotient of Euclidean division of P(x) = 0 by the linear (degree one) factor x – r. If the coefficients of P(x) are real or complex numbers, the fundamental theorem of algebra asserts that P(x) has a real or complex ...

  4. Computational problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_problem

    For example, the problem of factoring "Given a positive integer n, find a nontrivial prime factor of n." is a computational problem that has a solution, as there are many known integer factorization algorithms. A computational problem can be viewed as a set of instances or cases together with a, possibly empty, set of solutions for every ...

  5. Factorization of polynomials over finite fields - Wikipedia

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

    This algorithm uses the fact that, if the derivative of a polynomial is zero, then it is a polynomial in x p, which is, if the coefficients belong to F p, the pth power of the polynomial obtained by substituting x by x 1/p. If the coefficients do not belong to F p, the pth root of a polynomial with zero derivative is obtained by the same ...

  6. Fermat's factorization method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_factorization_method

    Fermat's factorization method, named after Pierre de Fermat, is based on the representation of an odd integer as the difference of two squares: =. That difference is algebraically factorable as (+) (); if neither factor equals one, it is a proper factorization of N.

  7. Decomposition (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition_(computer...

    Object-oriented decomposition breaks a large system down into progressively smaller classes or objects that are responsible for part of the problem domain. According to Booch, algorithmic decomposition is a necessary part of object-oriented analysis and design, but object-oriented systems start with and emphasize decomposition into objects. [2]

  8. Shor's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor's_algorithm

    The problem that we are trying to solve is: given an odd composite number, find its integer factors. To achieve this, Shor's algorithm consists of two parts: A classical reduction of the factoring problem to the problem of order-finding.

  9. Factorization of polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials

    For univariate polynomials over the rationals (or more generally over a field of characteristic zero), Yun's algorithm exploits this to efficiently factorize the polynomial into square-free factors, that is, factors that are not a multiple of a square, performing a sequence of GCD computations starting with gcd(f(x), f '(x)). To factorize the ...
