Comment on ``Signal of Quark Deconfinement in the Timing Structure of Pulsar Spin-Down''

This is a comment on a paper by Glendenning, Pei, and Weber (Phys. Rev. Lett., 79, 1603, 1997), where the authors gave an incorrect estimate of the event rate and neglected the important gravitational energy release. Previous work on the same subject is reviewed, and a new suggestion is made to link quark-hadron phase transitions with soft gamma-ray repeaters.Comment: 4 pages; to appear in Phys. Rev. Let

Worst--Case Analysis of Weber's Algorithm

11 pagesInternational audienceRecently, Ken Weber introduced an algorithm for finding the $(a,b)$-pairs satisfying $au+bv\equiv 0\pmod{k}$, with $0<|a|,|b|<\sqrt{k}$, where $(u,k)$ and $(v,k)$ are coprime. It is based on Sorenson's and Jebelean's ''$k$-ary reduction'' algorithms. We provide a formula for $N(k)$, the maximal number of iterations in the loop of Weber's GCD algorithm
