  2. Exponentiation by squaring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation_by_squaring

    In mathematics and computer programming, exponentiating by squaring is a general method for fast computation of large positive integer powers of a number, or more generally of an element of a semigroup, like a polynomial or a square matrix. Some variants are commonly referred to as square-and-multiply algorithms or binary exponentiation.

  3. Modular exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_exponentiation

    Modular exponentiation is the remainder when an integer b (the base) is raised to the power e (the exponent), and divided by a positive integer m (the modulus); that is, c = b e mod m. From the definition of division, it follows that 0 ≤ c < m .

  4. List of NP-complete problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NP-complete_problems

    This is a list of some of the more commonly known problems that are NP-complete when expressed as decision problems. As there are thousands of such problems known, this list is in no way comprehensive. Many problems of this type can be found in Garey & Johnson (1979).

  5. Shor's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor's_algorithm

    This can be accomplished via modular exponentiation, which is the slowest part of the algorithm. The gate thus defined satisfies U r = I {\displaystyle U^{r}=I} , which immediately implies that its eigenvalues are the r {\displaystyle r} -th roots of unity ω r k = e 2 π i k / r {\displaystyle \omega _{r}^{k}=e^{2\pi ik/r}} .

  6. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

    Conversely to floating-point arithmetic, in a logarithmic number system multiplication, division and exponentiation are simple to implement, but addition and subtraction are complex. The level-index arithmetic (LI and SLI) of Charles Clenshaw, Frank Olver and Peter Turner is a scheme based on a generalized logarithm representation.

  7. Montgomery modular multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_modular...

    Modular exponentiation can be done using exponentiation by squaring by initializing the initial product to the Montgomery representation of 1, that is, to R mod N, and by replacing the multiply and square steps by Montgomery multiplies. Performing these operations requires knowing at least N′ and R 2 mod N.

  8. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    Horner's method is a fast, code-efficient method for multiplication and division of binary numbers on a microcontroller with no hardware multiplier. One of the binary numbers to be multiplied is represented as a trivial polynomial, where (using the above notation) a i = 1 {\displaystyle a_{i}=1} , and x = 2 {\displaystyle x=2} .

  9. Finite field arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_field_arithmetic

    By making logarithm and exponentiation tables for the finite field, subtracting the logarithm from p n − 1 and exponentiating the result. By making a modular multiplicative inverse table for the finite field and doing a lookup. By mapping to a composite field where inversion is simpler, and mapping back.
