Graphs of functions commonly used in the analysis of algorithms, showing the number of operations versus input size for each function. The following tables list the computational complexity of various algorithms for common mathematical operations.
A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]
[1] [2] All functions use floating-point numbers in one manner or another. Different C standards provide different, albeit backwards-compatible, sets of functions. Most of these functions are also available in the C++ standard library, though in different headers (the C headers are included as well, but only as a deprecated compatibility feature).
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.
[2] [3] Thus, in the expression 1 + 2 × 3, the multiplication is performed before addition, and the expression has the value 1 + (2 × 3) = 7, and not (1 + 2) × 3 = 9. When exponents were introduced in the 16th and 17th centuries, they were given precedence over both addition and multiplication and placed as a superscript to the right of ...
The definition of matrix multiplication is that if C = AB for an n × m matrix A and an m × p matrix B, then C is an n × p matrix with entries = =. From this, a simple algorithm can be constructed which loops over the indices i from 1 through n and j from 1 through p, computing the above using a nested loop:
The Barrett multiplication previously described requires a constant operand b to pre-compute [] ahead of time. Otherwise, the operation is not efficient. Otherwise, the operation is not efficient. It is common to use Montgomery multiplication when both operands are non-constant as it has better performance.
Karatsuba's basic step works for any base B and any m, but the recursive algorithm is most efficient when m is equal to n/2, rounded up. In particular, if n is 2 k , for some integer k , and the recursion stops only when n is 1, then the number of single-digit multiplications is 3 k , which is n c where c = log 2 3.
