The Expectation Of Success Using A Monte Carlo Factoring Method – Some Statistics On Quadratic Class Numbers, Duncan A. Buell Jul 1984

The Expectation Of Success Using A Monte Carlo Factoring Method – Some Statistics On Quadratic Class Numbers, Duncan A. Buell

Faculty Publications

A method has been proposed for factoring an integer N by using the structure of the class groups of quadratic fields of radicand – kN for various small multipliers k. We discuss the method and an implementation of the method, and various theoretical questions which have an impact on the practical use of the method in factoring. Some of the theoretical questions relate to the nature of class numbers and class groups; we present extensive statistical results on the class numbers and class groups of imaginary quadratic fields.

Error-Bounds For Gaussian Quadrature And Weighted-L1 Polynomial Approximation, Ronald A. Devore, L R. Scott Apr 1984

Error-Bounds For Gaussian Quadrature And Weighted-L1 Polynomial Approximation, Ronald A. Devore, L R. Scott

Faculty Publications

Error bounds for Gaussian quadrature are given in terms of the number of quadrature points and smoothness properties of the function whose integral is being approximated. An intermediate step involves a weighted-L' polynomial approximation problem which is treated in a more general context than that specifically required to bound the Gaussian quadrature error.

Metrizability And The Frechet-Urysohn Property In Topological Groups, Peter J. Nyikos Dec 1981

Metrizability And The Frechet-Urysohn Property In Topological Groups, Peter J. Nyikos

Faculty Publications

A question of Arhangel'skii, whether weakly first countable topological groups are metrizable, is answered in two ways: if the Hausdorff axiom is assumed, the answer is yes, but in general a weakly first countable topological group need not be pseudometrizable. The former result is obtained as a corollary of a more general sufficient condition for a sequential group to be Fr&chet-Urysohn. A general necessary and sufficient condition for a sequential group to be Frechet-Urysohn is given, and a number of questions are raised. Examples are given to show in what respect the theorems of the paper are the "best possible".

Maximal Residue Difference Sets Modulo P, Duncan A. Buell, Kenneth S. Williams May 1978

Maximal Residue Difference Sets Modulo P, Duncan A. Buell, Kenneth S. Williams

Faculty Publications

Let p ≡ 1 (mod 4) be a prime. A residue difference set modulo p is a set S = {ai} of integers ai such that (ai/p) = +1 and ((ai - aj)/p) = +1 for all i and j with i ≠ j, where (n/p) is the Legendre symbol modulo p. Let mp be the cardinality of a maximal such set S. The authors estimate the size of mp.

Nonnegative Matrices Whose Inverses Are M-Matrices, Thomas L. Markham Dec 1972

Nonnegative Matrices Whose Inverses Are M-Matrices, Thomas L. Markham

Faculty Publications

A characterization of a class of totally nonnegative matrices whose inverses are M-matrices is given. It is then shown that if A is nonnegative of order n and A^-1 is an M-matrix, then the almost principal minors of A of all orders are nonnegative.
