Integer Factorization Algorithms - Heuristic Running Time

Heuristic Running Time

In number theory, there are many integer factoring algorithms that heuristically have expected running time

in o and L-notation. Some examples of those algorithms are the elliptic curve method and the quadratic sieve. Another such algorithm is the class group relations method proposed by Schnorr, Seysen, and Lenstra that is proved under of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH).

Famous quotes containing the words running and/or time:

    This our life, exempt from public haunt,
    Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
    Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    ...we avoid hospitals because ... they’ll kill you there. They overtreat you. And when they see how old you are, and that you still have a mind, they treat you like a curiosity: like “Exhibit A” and “Exhibit B.” Like, “Hey. nurse, come on over here and looky-here at this old woman, she’s in such good shape....” . Most of the time they don’t even treat you like a person, just an object.
    Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)
