  2. Factor graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_graph

    with a corresponding factor graph shown on the right. Observe that the factor graph has a cycle. If we merge (,) (,) into a single factor, the resulting factor graph will be a tree. This is an important distinction, as message passing algorithms are usually exact for trees, but only approximate for graphs with cycles.

  3. Factorization of polynomials over finite fields - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of...

    The theory of finite fields, whose origins can be traced back to the works of Gauss and Galois, has played a part in various branches of mathematics.Due to the applicability of the concept in other topics of mathematics and sciences like computer science there has been a resurgence of interest in finite fields and this is partly due to important applications in coding theory and cryptography.

  4. Factorization of polynomials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization_of_polynomials

    If two or more factors of a polynomial are identical, then the polynomial is a multiple of the square of this factor. The multiple factor is also a factor of the polynomial's derivative (with respect to any of the variables, if several). For univariate polynomials, multiple factors are equivalent to multiple roots (over a suitable extension field).

  5. Graph factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_factorization

    A k-factor of a graph is a spanning k-regular subgraph, and a k-factorization partitions the edges of the graph into disjoint k-factors. A graph G is said to be k-factorable if it admits a k-factorization. In particular, a 1-factor is a perfect matching, and a 1-factorization of a k-regular graph is a proper edge coloring with k colors. A 2 ...

  6. Factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorization

    The polynomial x 2 + cx + d, where a + b = c and ab = d, can be factorized into (x + a)(x + b). In mathematics, factorization (or factorisation, see English spelling differences) or factoring consists of writing a number or another mathematical object as a product of several factors, usually smaller or simpler objects of the same kind.

  7. Maximum weight matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_weight_matching

    The first is also a perfect matching, while the second is far from it with 4 vertices unaccounted for, but has high value weights compared to the other edges in the graph. In computer science and graph theory , the maximum weight matching problem is the problem of finding, in a weighted graph , a matching in which the sum of weights is maximized.

  8. Integer factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization

    A general-purpose factoring algorithm, also known as a Category 2, Second Category, or Kraitchik family algorithm, [10] has a running time which depends solely on the size of the integer to be factored. This is the type of algorithm used to factor RSA numbers. Most general-purpose factoring algorithms are based on the congruence of squares method.

  9. Fermat's factorization method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat's_factorization_method

    If the approximate ratio of two factors (/) is known, then a rational number / can be picked near that value. N u v = c v ⋅ d u {\displaystyle Nuv=cv\cdot du} , and Fermat's method, applied to Nuv , will find the factors c v {\displaystyle cv} and d u {\displaystyle du} quickly.
