  2. Hyperoperation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperoperation

    The concepts of successor, addition, multiplication and exponentiation are all hyperoperations; the successor operation (producing x + 1 from x) is the most primitive, the addition operator specifies the number of times 1 is to be added to itself to produce a final value, multiplication specifies the number of times a number is to be added to ...

  3. Modular exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_exponentiation

    A third method drastically reduces the number of operations to perform modular exponentiation, while keeping the same memory footprint as in the previous method. It is a combination of the previous method and a more general principle called exponentiation by squaring (also known as binary exponentiation).

  4. Successor function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successor_function

    The successor function is part of the formal language used to state the Peano axioms, which formalise the structure of the natural numbers.In this formalisation, the successor function is a primitive operation on the natural numbers, in terms of which the standard natural numbers and addition are defined.

  5. Knuth's up-arrow notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth's_up-arrow_notation

    We place the numbers in the top row, and fill the left column with values 2. To determine a number in the table, take the number immediately to the left, then look up the required number in the previous row, at the position given by the number just taken.

  6. Modular multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_multiplicative_inverse

    Use the extended Euclidean algorithm to compute k −1, the modular multiplicative inverse of k mod 2 w, where w is the number of bits in a word. This inverse will exist since the numbers are odd and the modulus has no odd factors. For each number in the list, multiply it by k −1 and take the least significant word of the result.

  7. Shunting yard algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunting_yard_algorithm

    In computer science, the shunting yard algorithm is a method for parsing arithmetical or logical expressions, or a combination of both, specified in infix notation.It can produce either a postfix notation string, also known as reverse Polish notation (RPN), or an abstract syntax tree (AST). [1]

  8. Exponentiation by squaring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation_by_squaring

    x 1 = x; x 2 = x 2 for i = k - 2 to 0 do if n i = 0 then x 2 = x 1 * x 2; x 1 = x 1 2 else x 1 = x 1 * x 2; x 2 = x 2 2 return x 1 The algorithm performs a fixed sequence of operations ( up to log n ): a multiplication and squaring takes place for each bit in the exponent, regardless of the bit's specific value.

  9. GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Multiple_Precision...

    GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library (GMP) is a free library for arbitrary-precision arithmetic, operating on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating-point numbers. [3] There are no practical limits to the precision except the ones implied by the available memory (operands may be of up to 2 32 −1 bits on 32-bit machines and 2 37 ...
