(4.5.2) \] - The factorization (4.5.2) of the ring \(\mathbb{Z}_n\) induces a factorization: \[ U_{n} \cong \bigoplus_{i=1}^{r} U_{p_i^{r_i}}. (4.5.3) \] 3. **Text Analysis Continued:** - The primary text discusses certain theorems in number theory, specifically concerning modular arithmetic and the Chinese Remainder Theorem. - There is a mathematical proof provided for theorem 4.5.5. 4. **Metadata Analysis:** - No metadata is available in the image. 5. **Prozessbeschreibungen (Process Descriptions):** - The process described in theorem 4.5.5 proof 2 provides a method to find a number \( x \) that satisfies multiple congruences using the extended Euclidean algorithm. 6. **Diagram and Chart Analysis:** - There are no diagrams or charts included in the image. 7. **Product Analysis:** - Not applicable as there are no products depicted in the image. 8. **Anomaly Detection:** - There are no anomalies or unusual elements detected in the image. 9. **Color Analysis:** - The page appears to be monochromatic with black text on a white background, typical for a textbook or academic paper. 10. **Perspective and Composition:** - The image is a straightforward scan of a page from a document, presenting the information in a conventional format with clearly labeled theorems and proofs. 11. **Contextual Significance:** - The image contributes to the understanding of number theory, particularly the concepts surrounding modular arithmetic and the Chinese Remainder Theorem. 12. **Graph Numbers:** - Not applicable as there are no graphs present. 13. **Ablaufprozesse (Process Flows):** - The image includes step-by-step proofs which can be seen as process flows, explaining each step in the logical process. 14. **Typen Bezeichnung (Type Designations):** - Types or categories include integers, theorems, proofs, and modular arithmetic concepts. 15. **Trend and Interpretation:** - The trend and interpretation focus on modular arithmetic and its implications in number theory. 16. **Tables:** - Not applicable as there are no tables present. #################### File: Algorithms%20and%20Complexity%20-%20Herbert%20S.%20Wilf%20%28PDF%29.pdf Page: 104 Context: # Chapter 4: Algorithms in the Theory of Numbers learned nothing. However if neither \( u \equiv v \, (\text{mod} \, n) \) nor \( u \equiv -v \, (\text{mod} \, n) \) is true then we will have found a nontrivial factor of \( n \), namely \(\gcd(u - v, n)\) or \(\gcd(u + v, n)\). ## Example: Take as a factor base \( B = \{-2, 5\} \), and let it be required to find a factor of \( n = 1729 \). Then we claim that 186 and 267 are B-numbers. To see that 186 is a B-number, note that \( 186^2 \equiv 20 \, \text{(mod} \, (-2)^2) \), and similarly, since \( 267^2 \equiv 41 - 1729 + (-2)^2 \), we see that 267 is a B-number, for this factor base \( B \). The exponent vectors of 186 and 267 are \( (4, 0) \) and \( (4, 2) \) respectively, and these sum to \( (0, 0) \) (mod 2), hence we find that \[ u = 186 \times 267 = 1729 \, (\text{mod} \, 1729) \] \[ r_1 = 4; \quad r_2 = 1 \] \[ s_1 = (-2)^{(5)} = 80 \] \[ \gcd(u - v, n) = \gcd(1170, 1729) = 13 \] and we have found the factor 13 of 1729. There might have seemed to be some legerdemain involved in plucking the B-numbers 186 and 267 out of the air, in the example above. In fact, as the algorithm has been implemented by its author, J. D. Dixon, one simply chooses integers uniformly at random from \([1, n-1]\) until enough B-numbers have been found, so their exponent vectors are linearly dependent modulo 2. In Dixon's implementation the factor base that is used consists of \( 1 \) together with the first \( k \) prime numbers. It can then be proved that if \( n \) is not a prime power then with a correct choice of \( b \) relative to \( n \), if we repeat the random choices until a factor of \( n \) is found, the average running time will be \[ \exp\left(2 + o(1)\right)(\log \log n)^{3}. \] This is not polynomial time, but it is moderately exponential only. Nevertheless, it is close to being about the best that we know how to do on the elusive problem of factoring a large integer. ## 4.10 Proving primality In this section we will consider a problem that sounds a lot like primality testing, but is really a little different because the rules of the game are different. Basically the problem is to convince a skeptical audience that a certain integer \( n \) is prime, requiring them to do only a small amount of computation in order to be so persuaded. First, though, suppose you were writing a 100-decimal-digit integer on the blackboard in front of a large audience and you wanted to prove to them that it was not a prime. If you simply wrote down two smaller integers whose product was \( n \), the job would be done. Anyone who wished to be certain could spend a few minutes multiplying the factors together and verifying that the product was indeed \( n \), and all doubts would be dispelled. Indeed*, a speaker at a mathematical convention in 1903 announced the result that \( 2^{n} - 1 \) is not a prime number, and to be utterly convincing all he had to do was to write \[ 2^{n} - 1 = 193707721 \times 761838257287. \] We note that the speaker probably had to work very hard to find those factors, but having found them it became quite easy to convince others of the truth of the claimed result. A pair of integers \( r, s \) for which \( r \equiv 1 \, (\text{mod} \, s) \) and \( n = rs \) constitute a certificate attesting to the compositeness of \( n \). With this certificate \( C(n) \) and an auxiliary checking algorithm, viz. 1. Verify that \( r \neq 1 \) and that \( s \neq 1 \). 2. Check that \( r \times s = n \). We can prove, in polynomial time, that \( n \) is not a prime number. *We follow the account given in V. Pratt, "Every prime has a succinct certificate," SIAM J. Computing, 4 (1975), 214-220.
