The Coleman integral is a $p$-adic line integral that encapsulates various quantities of number theoretic interest. Building on the work of Harrison [J. Symbolic Comput. 47 (2012) no. 1, 89–101], we extend the Coleman integration algorithms in Balakrishnan et al. [Algorithmic number theory, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 6197 (Springer, 2010) 16–31] and Balakrishnan [ANTS-X: Proceedings of the Tenth Algorithmic Number Theory Symposium, Open Book Series 1 (Mathematical Sciences Publishers, 2013) 41–61] to even-degree models of hyperelliptic curves. We illustrate our methods with numerical examples computed in Sage.

We explore the class of positive integers n that admit idempotent factorizations n=pq such that lambda(n) divides (p-1)(q-1), where lambda(n) is the Carmichael lambda function. Idempotent factorizations with p and q prime have received the most attention due to their cryptographic advantages, but there are an infinite number of n with idempotent factorizations containing composite p and/or q. Idempotent factorizations are exactly those p and q that generate correctly functioning keys in the RSA 2-prime protocol with n as the modulus. While the resulting p and q have no cryptographic utility and therefore should never be employed in that capacity, idempotent factorizations warrant study in their own right as they live at the intersection of multiple hard problems in computer science and number theory. We present some analytical results here. We also demonstrate the existence of maximally idempotent integers, those n for which all bipartite factorizations are idempotent. We show how to construct them, and present preliminary results on their distribution.

There are many uses of Fourier analysis in the analytic number theory. In this paper we shall derive two fundamental theorems using Cramer’s method (Mathematical methods of statistics, 1946). Let E, E* be unit cubes in the whole n-dimensional Euclidean space X such that

Let [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] be [Formula: see text] upper-triangular matrices with rational entries. In the multiplicative semigroup generated by these matrices, we check if there are relations of the form [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] We give algorithms to find relations of the previous form. Our results are extensions of some theorems obtained by Charlier and Honkala in [The freeness problem over matrix semigroups and bounded languages, Inf. Comput. 237 (2014) 243–256]. Our paper is at the interface between algebra, number theory and theoretical computer science. While the main results concern decidability and semigroup theory, the methods for obtaining them come from number theory.

The 0-1 knapsack problem is typical problem in computer science and its solution is a hot spot in algorithms design and verification. Because it is very hard to solve, it is very important in the research on cryptosystem and number theory. In this paper, the 0-1 knapsack problem and its algorithm is analyzed firstly. And then this paper presents two kinds of expand form, and proposes two efficient algorithms based on dynamic programming and greedy algorithm to solve the proposed problems. Simulation results show it is effective.

Let [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] be all positive divisors of [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text], define [Formula: see text]. In this paper, by combining ideas from the finite Fourier transform of arithmetic functions and Ramanujan sums, we give a short proof for the following result: the number of solutions of the linear congruence [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], is [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a Ramanujan sum. Some special cases and other forms of this problem have been already studied by several authors. The problem has recently found very interesting applications in number theory, combinatorics, computer science, and cryptography. The above explicit formula generalizes the main results of several papers, for example, the main result of the paper by Sander and Sander [J. Number Theory 133 (2013) 705–718], one of the main results of the paper by Sander [J. Number Theory 129 (2009) 2260–2266], and also gives an equivalent formula for the main result of the paper by Sun and Yang [Int. J. Number Theory 10 (2014) 1355–1363].

Abstract Orthogonality is a fundamental theme in representation theory and Fourier analysis. An orthogonality relation for characters of finite abelian groups (now recognized as an orthogonality relation on $\mathrm {GL}(1)$ ) was used by Dirichlet to prove infinitely many primes in arithmetic progressions. Orthogonality relations for $\mathrm {GL}(2)$ and $\mathrm {GL}(3)$ have been worked on by many researchers with a broad range of applications to number theory. We present here, for the first time, very explicit orthogonality relations for the real group $\mathrm {GL}(4, \mathbb R)$ with a power savings error term. The proof requires novel techniques in the computation of the geometric side of the Kuznetsov trace formula.

Number theory is one of the core branches of pure mathematics. It has played an important role in the study of natural numbers. In this paper, we are presenting a theorem on the numbers of form 10^x , where x ∊ Z+ . The proposed theorem have a major application in computer science. It can be used to predict ‘n’ bits which will always represent more than 10^x total numbers. We proved that the nature of the ‘n’ bits is always one of the forms 10i, 10i + 4, or 10i + 7, where i ∊ Z+ .
