On the image of Euler's totient function
In this article we study certain properties of the image of Euler's totient
function; we also consider the structure of the preimage of certain elements of
the image of this function
Fast integer multiplication using generalized Fermat primes
For almost 35 years, Sch{\"o}nhage-Strassen's algorithm has been the fastest
algorithm known for multiplying integers, with a time complexity O(n
log n log log n) for multiplying n-bit inputs. In 2007, F{\"u}rer
proved that there exists K > 1 and an algorithm performing this operation in
O(n log n K log n). Recent work by Harvey, van der Hoeven,
and Lecerf showed that this complexity estimate can be improved in order to get
K = 8, and conjecturally K = 4. Using an alternative algorithm, which relies on
arithmetic modulo generalized Fermat primes, we obtain conjecturally the same
result K = 4 via a careful complexity analysis in the deterministic multitape
