My Integer Factorization Study: Leading Me Ever Back
Advertisements As I’ve previously shared, my math study seems to lead me in kind of a circular path, between periods of great excitement at potentially profound discoveries, and “letdown” periods where I realize what I “discovered” is something not only already evident, but blindingly obvious. I still want to remain happily agnostic about which of […]

Integer Factorization: Performance Stats/Graphs for factor_it_4.pl
Advertisements I ran factor_it_4.pl tonight on the collection of 10-digit and 12-digit discrete semiprimes I had generated earlier in my study. An image of the table I generated is below, along with scatter plots of particular behaviors. If someone wanted, I could certainly supply them with the raw data used to generate the graphs. I […]

Fear of Learning (copied from a Twitter Thread of Mine)
Advertisements Fear of learning, especially the kind of learning that makes a human being less susceptible to manipulative indoctrination, is at the core of radically Conservative state governments’ school curriculum policies. It is unsubtle anti-intellectualism. The reasons are clear. To the @GOP and the Radical and Religious Right movements within you (to include Dominionist politics): You have […]

My Fastest Factorization Script So Far
Advertisements This won’t set any algorithmic speed records, but I am happy with it, for now. It comes in at 48 lines of Perl code. factor_it_4.pl is definitely faster than factor_it_3.pl, and routinely gets its answer in fewer than half the iterations of factor_it_2.pl. Once again, I am not experienced with writing arbitrary-precision arithmetic scripts […]

Integer Factorization: Quick Summary of Last Night’s Simplification “Revelation”
Advertisements Let m be an odd positive integer we wish to factor. Let c be the smallest integer (also positive) so that c2>m. (If m is a perfect square, we are done.) Set r=c2-m. The least non-negative value of x for which x2+2cx+r is a perfect square is a value of x which produces s=c+x […]

Integer Factorization: 9/18/2022 Update (short)
Advertisements It would seem, after reviewing factor_it_2.pl, that that code and the mathematics behind it are not due for an update – because they are beyond hope! 😀 No, really, I’ve moved far beyond those ideas, and they no longer seem fruitful enough to upgrade them. It would be like grafting a car onto a […]

Integer Factorization: Recent Work
Advertisements Ideas kept me up when the dogs got me up around 3 a.m. this morning for a walk and some water. That’s good, even though the ideas did not pan out to much. I had church to attend in a few hours, after all. But it occurs to me to share where it’s all […]

Integer Factorization: Web-Publish in Haste, Repent at Leisure! 😀
Advertisements All right, I am very sorry… I did happen to see that huge error in arithmetic in computing the characteristic function, but not until late tonight. I have fixed it and placed the updated code in my original characterize.pl post. Again, I do apologize for that. But now I am excited again because until […]

Integer Factorization: “characterize” Script Updated
Advertisements Here is the link to the post from yesterday with the script in the form I updated today.

Integer Factorization: characterize.pl Update Forthcoming
Advertisements I found (occurring to me in the early morning hours) a way to correct some of the “lumpy” properties of the characterize.pl output. When the algorithm adds 1 to the Ceiling Root, as needed, to produce the Adjusted Ceiling Square, I had forgotten to make sure also that the points I want the characteristic […]
