In this article we present applications of smooth numbers to the unconditional derandomization of some well-known integer factoring algorithms. We begin with Pollard's p – 1 algorithm, which finds in ...

As data rates increase, the adverse effects of jitter become more critical. So jitter budgets understandably become tighter. Consequently, it is not surprising that jitter measurements are becoming ...
