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:
“He’s like an express train running through a tunnel—one shriek, sparks, smoke and gone.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“They do not live in the world,
Are not in time and space.
From birth to death hurled
No word do they have, not one
To plant a foot upon,
Were never in any place.”
—Edwin Muir (1887–1959)
