Comparative analysis of integer factorization algorithms by G. Kimsanova, R. Ismailova, R. Sultanov

“…Our results showed that for numbers up to 296 bits the Pollard rho algorithm is the fastest one, while Fermat algorithm is fast when distances between factors are small. Brent algorithms appeared to run slower for this rage of numbers, however it succeeded to factor numbers which Fermat algorithm fail to factor.…”

Asymptotic Study of the 2D-DQGE Solutions by Jamel Benameur, Mongi Blel

“…We prove that if the initial data is small enough in the critical space H˙2-2α(R2), then the regularity of the solution is of exponential growth type with respect to time and its H˙2-2α(R2) norm decays exponentially fast. It becomes then infinitely differentiable with respect to time and has value in all homogeneous Sobolev spaces H˙s(R2) for s≥2-2α. …”

A Numerical Convolution Representation of Potential for a Disk Surface Density in 3D by Chien-Chang Yen

“…The advantage of this representation is to release the softening length for the N-body method and artificial boundary conditions for the spectral methods. With the help of fast Fourier transform, the computational complexity is only O(M2(log2⁡M)), where M is the number of zones in one dimension. …”

Chemoselective Hydrogenation of Aromatic Nitro Compounds Using Diammonium Hydrogen Phosphite and Commercial Zinc Dust by K. Anil Kumar, K. S. Shruthi, Nagaraja Naik, D. Channe Gowda

“…The aromatic nitro compounds are reduced to their corresponding amines at room temperature in good yields by employing diammonium hydrogen phosphite as hydrogen donor and zinc as catalyst. The hydrogenation is fast and selective in the presence of the other sensitive functionalities such as halogens, -OH, -NH2, -OCH3, -CN, -COCH3, -COOH, -COOR etc. …”

Singularly perturbed periodic parabolic equations with alternating boundary layer type solutions

“…We study boundary layer type solutions that, as time increases, periodically go through two fairly long lasting stages with extremely fast transitions in between. During one of these stages the solution outside the boundary layer is close to one of the roots of the degenerate (reduced) equation, while during the other stage the solution is close to the other root. …”

Calculation of rf-induced temporal jitter in ultrafast electron diffraction by T. Xu, F. Ji, C. J. R. Duncan, S. P. Weathersby, R. J. England

“…In this paper, we present a semianalytical approach for calculating rf-induced temporal jitter from klystron and rf cavity parameters. Our approach allows fast estimation of temporal jitter for MeV-UED beamlines and can serve as a virtual timing tool when shot-to-shot measurements of rf amplitude and phase jitters are available. …”
