  2. Multiplicative order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_order

    The multiplicative order of a number a modulo n is the order of a in the multiplicative group whose elements are the residues modulo n of the numbers coprime to n, and whose group operation is multiplication modulo n. This is the group of units of the ring Z n; it has φ(n) elements, φ being Euler's totient function, and is denoted as U(n) or ...

  3. Order type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_type

    Every well-ordered set is order-equivalent to exactly one ordinal number, by definition. The ordinal numbers are taken to be the canonical representatives of their classes, and so the order type of a well-ordered set is usually identified with the corresponding ordinal. Order types thus often take the form of arithmetic expressions of ordinals.

  4. Modular arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic

    The multiplicative inverse x ≡ a −1 (mod m) may be efficiently computed by solving Bézout's equation a x + m y = 1 for x, y, by using the Extended Euclidean algorithm. In particular, if p is a prime number, then a is coprime with p for every a such that 0 < a < p; thus a multiplicative inverse exists for all a that is not congruent to zero ...

  5. Order (group theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_(group_theory)

    For example, in the symmetric group shown above, where ord(S 3) = 6, the possible orders of the elements are 1, 2, 3 or 6. The following partial converse is true for finite groups : if d divides the order of a group G and d is a prime number , then there exists an element of order d in G (this is sometimes called Cauchy's theorem ).

  6. Computational complexity of mathematical operations - Wikipedia

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

    The complexity of an elementary function is equivalent to that of its inverse, since all elementary functions are analytic and hence invertible by means of Newton's method. In particular, if either exp {\displaystyle \exp } or log {\displaystyle \log } in the complex domain can be computed with some complexity, then that complexity is ...

  7. Multiplicative function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_function

    In number theory, a multiplicative function is an arithmetic function f(n) of a positive integer n with the property that f(1) = 1 and = () whenever a and b are coprime.. An arithmetic function f(n) is said to be completely multiplicative (or totally multiplicative) if f(1) = 1 and f(ab) = f(a)f(b) holds for all positive integers a and b, even when they are not coprime.

    By convention, the list is initially (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz). The first letter in the sequence is b, which appears at index 1 (the list is indexed from 0 to 25). We put a 1 to the output stream: 1 The b moves to the front of the list, producing (bacdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz). The next letter is a, which now appears at index 1.
