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.
Kummer's theorem states that the number of carries involved in adding two numbers in base is equal to the exponent of the highest power of dividing a certain binomial coefficient. When several random numbers of many digits are added, the statistics of the carry digits bears an unexpected connection with Eulerian numbers and the statistics of ...
[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 ...
This algorithm calculates the value of x n after expanding the exponent in base 2 k. It was first proposed by Brauer in 1939. In the algorithm below we make use of the following function f(0) = (k, 0) and f(m) = (s, u), where m = u·2 s with u odd. Algorithm: Input
The optimal algorithm choice depends on the context (such as the relative cost of the multiplication and the number of times a given exponent is re-used). [2] The problem of finding the shortest addition chain cannot be solved by dynamic programming, because it does not satisfy the assumption of optimal substructure. That is, it is not ...
For example, in the method addition with carries, the two numbers are written one above the other. Starting from the rightmost digit, each pair of digits is added together. The rightmost digit of the sum is written below them. If the sum is a two-digit number then the leftmost digit, called the "carry", is added to the next pair of digits to ...
The running time of this algorithm is O(log exponent). When working with large values of exponent, this offers a substantial speed benefit over the previous two algorithms, whose time is O(exponent). For example, if the exponent was 2 20 = 1048576, this algorithm would have 20 steps instead of 1048576 steps.
2Sum and its variant Fast2Sum were first published by Ole Møller in 1965. [2] Fast2Sum is often used implicitly in other algorithms such as compensated summation algorithms; [1] Kahan's summation algorithm was published first in 1965, [3] and Fast2Sum was later factored out of it by Dekker in 1971 for double-double arithmetic algorithms.
