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:

    You know what I like about your program? Even when I’m running the vacuum, I can understand it.
    Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

    Gather ye rosebuds while ye may:
    Old Time is still a-flying;
    And this same flower that smiles today,
    Tomorrow will be dying.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
