In this article we present applications of smooth numbers to the unconditional derandomization of some well-known integer factoring algorithms. We begin with Pollard's p – 1 algorithm, which finds in ...

Complexity theory is a fundamental branch of theoretical computer science that categorises computational problems according to their inherent difficulty and the resources required to solve them. At ...

We devise an algorithm for solving the infinite-dimensional linear programs that arise from general deterministic semi-Markov decision processes on Borel spaces. The algorithm constructs a sequence of ...

It has demonstrated the powerful ability of a quantum computer to perform certain computational tasks more efficiently than a classical computer. Thus, to show quantum advantages is a key problem in ...
