  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. Square pyramidal number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_pyramidal_number

    The number of 1 × 1 squares in the grid is n 2. The number of 2 × 2 squares in the grid is (n − 1) 2. These can be counted by counting all of the possible upper-left corners of 2 × 2 squares. The number of k × k squares (1 ≤ k ≤ n) in the grid is (n − k + 1) 2. These can be counted by counting all of the possible upper-left corners ...

  4. Subset sum problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem

    n - the number of input integers. If n is a small fixed number, then an exhaustive search for the solution is practical. L - the precision of the problem, stated as the number of binary place values that it takes to state the problem. If L is a small fixed number, then there are dynamic programming algorithms that can solve it exactly.

  5. Computational complexity of mathematical operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity...

    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.

  6. Sum of two squares theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_two_squares_theorem

    Therefore, the theorem states that it is expressible as the sum of two squares. Indeed, 2450 = 7 2 + 49 2. The prime decomposition of the number 3430 is 2 · 5 · 7 3. This time, the exponent of 7 in the decomposition is 3, an odd number. So 3430 cannot be written as the sum of two squares.

  7. Integer partition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_partition

    They are arranged so that images under the reflection about the main diagonal of the square are conjugate partitions. Partitions of n with largest part k. In number theory and combinatorics, a partition of a non-negative integer n, also called an integer partition, is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers.

  8. Gaussian integer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_integer

    If, on the other hand, z 0 is an inert prime (that is, N(z 0) = p 2 is the square of a prime number, which is congruent to 3 modulo 4), then the residue class field has p 2 elements, and it is an extension of degree 2 (unique, up to an isomorphism) of the prime field with p elements (the integers modulo p).

  9. Square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root

    Notation for the (principal) square root of x. For example, √ 25 = 5, since 25 = 5 ⋅ 5, or 5 2 (5 squared). In mathematics, a square root of a number x is a number y such that =; in other words, a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or ) is x. [1]
