Modular exponentiation is a type of exponentiation performed over a modulus. It is useful in computer science, especially in the field of public-key cryptography. The operation of modular exponentiation calculates the remainder when an integer (the base) raised to the th power (the exponent), , is divided by a positive integer (the modulus). In symbols, given base , exponent , and modulus , the modular exponentiation is: .

Just as exponentiation of natural numbers is motivated by repeated multiplication, it is possible to define an operation based on repeated exponentiation; this operation is sometimes called hyper-4 or tetration. Iterating tetration leads to another operation, and so on, a concept named hyperoperation. This sequence of operations is expressed by the Ackermann function and Knuth's up-arrow notation. Just as exponentiation grows faster than multiplication, which is faster-growing than addition, tetration is faster-growing than exponentiation.

In mathematics, Cutler's bar notation is a notation system for large numbers, introduced by Mark Cutler in 2004. The idea is based on iterated exponentiation in much the same way that exponentiation is iterated multiplication.

The runtime bottleneck of Shor's algorithm is quantum modular exponentiation, which is by far slower than the quantum Fourier transform and classical pre-/post- processing. There are several approaches to constructing and optimizing circuits for modular exponentiation. The simplest and (currently) most practical approach is to mimic conventional arithmetic circuits with reversible gates, starting with ripple-carry adders. Knowing the base and the modulus of exponentiation facilitates further optimizations.

Exponentiation in finite fields has applications in public key cryptography. For example, the Diffie–Hellman key exchange uses the fact that exponentiation is computationally inexpensive in finite fields, whereas the discrete logarithm (the inverse of exponentiation) is computationally expensive. Any finite field F has the property that there is a unique prime number p such that px=0 for all x in F; that is, x added to itself p times is zero. For example, in F_2, the prime number has this property.

It uses Lucas sequences to perform exponentiation in a quadratic field. It is analogous to Pollard's p − 1 algorithm.
|

Therefore, exponentiation with a basis that is not a positive real number is generally viewed as a multivalued function.

In numerical linear algebra, a convergent matrix is a matrix that converges to the zero matrix under matrix exponentiation.

For example, the set of 3-tuples of elements from a 2-element set has cardinality . In cardinal arithmetic, κ0 is always 1 (even if κ is an infinite cardinal or zero). Exponentiation of cardinal numbers is distinct from exponentiation of ordinal numbers, which is defined by a limit process involving transfinite induction.
|
|
In calculus and mathematical analysis, algebraic operation is also used for the operations that may be defined by purely algebraic methods. For example, exponentiation with an integer or rational exponent is an algebraic operation, but not the general exponentiation with a real or complex exponent. Also, the derivative is an operation that is not algebraic.
|
|
Similarly, if a small value of p is used a lookup table can be used for inversion in step 4. The majority of time spent in this algorithm is in step 2, the first exponentiation. This is one reason why this algorithm is well-suited for the normal basis, since squaring and exponentiation are relatively easy in that basis.

Conversion out of Montgomery form is done by computing . The modular inverse of is . Modular exponentiation can be done using exponentiation by squaring by initializing the initial product to the Montgomery representation of 1, that is, to , and by replacing the multiply and square steps by Montgomery multiplies. Performing these operations requires knowing at least and .

A "relation-number" is an equivalence class of isomorphic relations. PM defines analogues of addition, multiplication, and exponentiation for arbitrary relations. The addition and multiplication is similar to the usual definition of addition and multiplication of ordinals in ZFC, though the definition of exponentiation of relations in PM is not equivalent to the usual one used in ZFC.

In mathematics, an exponential field is a field that has an extra operation on its elements which extends the usual idea of exponentiation.

This method substitutes a few multiplications for a variable exponentiation, and removes the need for an accurate reciprocal-square-root-based vector normalization.

Modular exponentiation similar to the one described above is considered easy to compute, even when the integers involved are enormous. On the other hand, computing the modular discrete logarithm – that is, the task of finding the exponent when given , , and – is believed to be difficult. This one-way function behavior makes modular exponentiation a candidate for use in cryptographic algorithms. .

Addition, multiplication, and exponentiation are three of the most fundamental arithmetic operations. Addition, the simplest of these, is undone by subtraction: when you add to to get , to reverse this operation you need to subtract from . Multiplication, the next-simplest operation, is undone by division: if you multiply by to get , you then can divide by to return to the original expression . Logarithms also undo a fundamental arithmetic operation, exponentiation.

In mathematics, the circumflex can signify exponentiation (`3^5` for ), where the usual superscript is not readily usable (as on some graphing calculators). It is also used to indicate a superscript in TeX typesetting. As Isaac Asimov described it in his 1974 "Skewered!" essay (on Skewes' number), "I make the exponent a figure of normal size and it is as though it is being held up by a lever, and its added weight when its size grows bends the lever down." The use of the circumflex for exponentiation can be traced back to ALGOL 60, which expressed the exponentiation operator as an upward-pointing arrow, intended to evoke the superscript notation common in mathematics.

ElGamal encryption is probabilistic, meaning that a single plaintext can be encrypted to many possible ciphertexts, with the consequence that a general ElGamal encryption produces a 2:1 expansion in size from plaintext to ciphertext. Encryption under ElGamal requires two exponentiations; however, these exponentiations are independent of the message and can be computed ahead of time if need be. Decryption requires one exponentiation and one computation of a group inverse which can however be easily combined into just one exponentiation.

For polynomials h, g of degree at most n, the exponentiation hq mod g can be done with O(log(q)) polynomial products, using exponentiation by squaring method, that is O(n2log(q)) operations in Fq using classical methods, or O(nlog(q)log(n) log(log(n))) operations in Fq using fast methods. In the algorithms that follow, the complexities are expressed in terms of number of arithmetic operations in Fq, using classical algorithms for the arithmetic of polynomials.

If is real, one has \exp(z)=e^z. Analytic continuation allows extending this equality for every complex value of , and thus to define the complex exponentiation with base as :e^z=\exp(z).

A general exponentiation can be defined as , giving an interpretation to expressions like . Again it is essential to distinguish this definition from the "powers of ω" function, especially if ω may occur as the base.

Because every non-zero digit has to be adjacent to two 0s, the NAF representation can be implemented such that it only takes a maximum of m + 1 bits for a value that would normally be represented in binary with m bits. The properties of NAF make it useful in various algorithms, especially some in cryptography; e.g., for reducing the number of multiplications needed for performing an exponentiation. In the algorithm, exponentiation by squaring, the number of multiplications depends on the number of non-zero bits.
|
|
Exponentiation of a non-zero real number can be extended to negative integers. We make the definition that x−1 = , meaning that we define raising a number to the power −1 to have the same effect as taking its reciprocal. This definition is then extended to negative integers, preserving the exponential law xaxb = x(a + b) for real numbers a and b. Exponentiation to negative integers can be extended to invertible elements of a ring, by defining x−1 as the multiplicative inverse of x.

As and increase even further to provide better security, the value becomes unwieldy. The time required to perform the exponentiation depends on the operating environment and the processor. The method described above requires multiplications to complete.

Exponentiation and primality testing are primitive recursive. Given primitive recursive functions e, f, g, and h, a function that returns the value of g when e≤f and the value of h otherwise is primitive recursive.

In the context of finite groups exponentiation is given by repeatedly multiplying one group element with itself. The discrete logarithm is the integer n solving the equation :b^n = x,\, where is an element of the group. Carrying out the exponentiation can be done efficiently, but the discrete logarithm is believed to be very hard to calculate in some groups. This asymmetry has important applications in public key cryptography, such as for example in the Diffie–Hellman key exchange, a routine that allows secure exchanges of cryptographic keys over unsecured information channels.

If the binary operation is written additively, as it often is for abelian groups, then "exponentiation is repeated multiplication" can be reinterpreted as "multiplication is repeated addition". Thus, each of the laws of exponentiation above has an analogue among laws of multiplication. When there are several power-associative binary operations defined on a set, any of which might be iterated, it is common to indicate which operation is being repeated by placing its symbol in the superscript. Thus, x∗n is , while x#n is , whatever the operations ∗ and # might be.

This series of steps only requires 8 multiplication operations (the last product above takes 2 multiplications) instead of 99. In general, the number of multiplication operations required to compute bn can be reduced to Θ(log n) by using exponentiation by squaring or (more generally) addition-chain exponentiation. Finding the minimal sequence of multiplications (the minimal- length addition chain for the exponent) for bn is a difficult problem, for which no efficient algorithms are currently known (see Subset sum problem), but many reasonably efficient heuristic algorithms are available.

For example, . When addition is used together with other operations, the order of operations becomes important. In the standard order of operations, addition is a lower priority than exponentiation, nth roots, multiplication and division, but is given equal priority to subtraction.

In mathematics, the continuum function is \kappa\mapsto 2^\kappa, i.e. raising 2 to the power of κ using cardinal exponentiation. Given a cardinal number, it is the cardinality of the power set of a set of the given cardinality.

Exponentiation by squaring may also be used to calculate the product of 2 or more powers. If the underlying group or semigroup is commutative, then it is often possible to reduce the number of multiplications by computing the product simultaneously.

As a three-argument function, e.g., G(n, a, b) = H_n(a, b), the hyperoperation sequence as a whole is seen to be a version of the original Ackermann function \phi(a, b, n) — recursive but not primitive recursive — as modified by Goodstein to incorporate the primitive successor function together with the other three basic operations of arithmetic (addition, multiplication, exponentiation), and to make a more seamless extension of these beyond exponentiation. The original three-argument Ackermann function \phi uses the same recursion rule as does Goodstein's version of it (i.e., the hyperoperation sequence), but differs from it in two ways.

Three subfields of the complex numbers C have been suggested as encoding the notion of a "closed-form number"; in increasing order of generality, these are the Liouville numbers (not to be confused with Liouville numbers in the sense of rational approximation), EL numbers and elementary numbers. The Liouville numbers, denoted L, form the smallest algebraically closed subfield of C closed under exponentiation and logarithm (formally, intersection of all such subfields)—that is, numbers which involve explicit exponentiation and logarithms, but allow explicit and implicit polynomials (roots of polynomials); this is defined in . L was originally referred to as elementary numbers, but this term is now used more broadly to refer to numbers defined explicitly or implicitly in terms of algebraic operations, exponentials, and logarithms. A narrower definition proposed in , denoted E, and referred to as EL numbers, is the smallest subfield of C closed under exponentiation and logarithm—this need not be algebraically closed, and correspond to explicit algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic operations.

Mayberry's system is Aristotelian in general inspiration and, despite his strong rejection of any role for operationalism or feasibility in the foundations of mathematics, comes to somewhat similar conclusions, such as, for instance, that super- exponentiation is not a legitimate finitary function.

This can be used as an alternative definition of the real-number power and agrees with the definition given above using rational exponents and continuity. The definition of exponentiation using logarithms is more common in the context of complex numbers, as discussed below.

The logarithm of to base is denoted as , or without parentheses, , or even without the explicit base, , when no confusion is possible, or when the base does not matter such as in big O notation. More generally, exponentiation allows any positive real number as base to be raised to any real power, always producing a positive result, so for any two positive real numbers and , where is not equal to , is always a unique real number . More explicitly, the defining relation between exponentiation and logarithm is: : \log_b(x) = y \ exactly if \ b^y = x\ and \ x > 0 and \ b > 0 and \ b e 1. For example, , as .

Far larger finite numbers than any of these occur in modern mathematics. For instance, Graham's number is too large to express using exponentiation or even tetration. For more about modern usage for large numbers, see Large numbers. To handle these numbers, new notations are created and used.

On the other hand, limits in general, and integrals in particular, are typically excluded. If an analytic expression involves only the algebraic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation to a rational exponent) and rational constants then it is more specifically referred to as an algebraic expression.

There are no official variations or sequels to the game. More mathematically skilled players may wish to include operations such as exponentiation, logarithms, and modulo, or incorporate sequences using any number of adjacent tiles in a line (such as 4 × 2 + 2 = 10, where only the 10 is played).

An elementary number is one formalization of the concept of a closed-form number. The elementary numbers form an algebraically closed field containing the roots of arbitrary equations using field operations, exponentiation, and logarithms. The set of the elementary numbers is subdivided into the explicit elementary numbers and the implicit elementary numbers.

Notice how the modulo operator always guarantees that only the fractional sum will be kept. To calculate 16n−k mod (8k + 1) quickly and efficiently, the modular exponentiation algorithm is used. When the running product becomes greater than one, the modulo is taken, just as for the running total in each sum.

The ↑ character is the exponentiation operator in Spectrum's BASIC, just like the ^ it replaces compared to ASCII-1967 is used for exponentiation in many other dialects of BASIC and other programming languages. Beyond 0x7F, the Spectrum character set uses the high-bit range 0x80–0xFF for special purposes. 0x80–0x8F contain the same 2×2 block graphics characters that the ZX80 character set and the ZX81 character set have (at other locations), also available in the Block Elements Unicode block. However the ZX Spectrum's standard character set does not include the ZX80/81 50% dithered 1×2 block graphics characters. Code points 0x90–0xA4 contain the originally 21 User-Defined Graphics (UDG) characters, and 0xA5–0xFF contain BASIC keywords tokenized as single code points.

Together with David Marker and Lou van den Dries, he proved several results on the model theory of the real field equipped with restricted analytic functions, which has had many applications to exponentiation and O-minimality. The work of van den Dries-Macintyre-Marker has found many applications to (and is a very natural setting for problems in) Diophantine geometry on Shimura varieties (Anand Pillay, Sergei Starchenko, Jonathan Pila) and representation theory (Wilfried Schmid and Kari Vilonen). Macintyre has proved results on Boris Zilber's theory of the complex exponentiation, and Zilber's pseudo-exponential fields. Macintyre and Jamshid Derakhshan have developed a model theory for the adele ring of a number field where they prove results on quantifier elimination and measurability of definable sets.

A binary operation takes two arguments x and y, and returns the result x\circ y. There are two common types of operations: unary and binary. Unary operations involve only one value, such as negation and trigonometric functions. Binary operations, on the other hand, take two values, and include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation.

Logarithmic amplifiers are used in many ways, such as: # To perform mathematical operations like multiplication, division and exponentiation. Multiplication is also sometimes called mixing. This is similar to operation of a slide rule, and is used in analog computers, audio synthesis methods, and some measurement instruments (i.e. power as multiplication of current and voltage).

However, as the RSA decryption exponent is randomly distributed, modular exponentiation may require a comparable number of squarings/multiplications to BG decryption for a ciphertext of the same length. BG has the advantage of scaling more efficiently to longer ciphertexts, where RSA requires multiple separate encryptions. In these cases, BG may be significantly more efficient.

Consider the expression `5^4^3^2`, in which `^` is taken to be a right-associative exponentiation operator. A parser reading the tokens from left to right would apply the associativity rule to a branch, because of the right-associativity of `^`, in the following way: # Term `5` is read. # Nonterminal `^` is read. Node: "`5^`".

This gives: : b=\sqrt[y] It is less easy to make the subject of the expression. Logarithms allow us to do this: : y= This expression means that is equal to the power that you would raise to, to get .

Exponentiation has two inverse operations; roots and logarithms. Analogously, the inverses of tetration are often called the super-root, and the super-logarithm (In fact, all hyperoperations greater than or equal to 3 have analogous inverses); e.g., in the function {^3}y=x, the two inverses are the cube super-root of and the super logarithm base of .

Since it is a 4-dimensional, the only possibility is that it is a representation, i.e. a bispinor representation. Now using the recipe of exponentiation of the Lie algebra representation to obtain a representation of , a projective 2-valued representation is obtained.

There are three usual operations on ordinals: addition, multiplication, and (ordinal) exponentiation. Each can be defined in essentially two different ways: either by constructing an explicit well-ordered set that represents the operation or by using transfinite recursion. The Cantor normal form provides a standardized way of writing ordinals. It uniquely represents each ordinal as a finite sum of ordinal powers of ω.

In mathematics, the logarithm is the inverse function to exponentiation. That means the logarithm of a given number is the exponent to which another fixed number, the base , must be raised, to produce that number . In the simplest case, the logarithm counts the number of occurrences of the same factor in repeated multiplication; e.g., since , the "logarithm base " of is , or .

In screw theory angular and linear velocity are combined into one six-dimensional object, called a twist. A similar object called a wrench combines forces and torques in six dimensions. These can be treated as six-dimensional vectors that transform linearly when changing frame of reference. Translations and rotations cannot be done this way, but are related to a twist by exponentiation.

However, for trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, this notation conventionally means exponentiation of the result of function application. The expression a/2b can be interpreted as meaning (a/2)b, in particular if one thinks that the common acronym PEMDAS for the order of operations implies that M(ultiplication) takes precedence over D(ivision); however, it is more commonly understood to mean a/(2b).
|

Base-e (natural) logarithms and exponentiation can be used, but not base-10. However, workarounds exist for many of those limitations. Complex numbers can be entered in either rectangular form (using the key) or polar form (using the key), and displayed in either form regardless of how they were entered. They can be decomposed using the (radius r) and (angle Θ) functions.

Powers of a positive real number are always positive real numbers. The solution of x2 = 4, however, can be either 2 or −2. The principal value of 41/2 is 2, but −2 is also a valid square root. If the definition of exponentiation of real numbers is extended to allow negative results then the result is no longer well-behaved.

Superscript notation is also used, especially in group theory, to indicate conjugation. That is, , where g and h are elements of some group. Although conjugation obeys some of the same laws as exponentiation, it is not an example of repeated multiplication in any sense. A quandle is an algebraic structure in which these laws of conjugation play a central role.

In computational algebra, the Cantor–Zassenhaus algorithm is a method for factoring polynomials over finite fields (also called Galois fields). The algorithm consists mainly of exponentiation and polynomial GCD computations. It was invented by David G. Cantor and Hans Zassenhaus in 1981. It is arguably the dominant algorithm for solving the problem, having replaced the earlier Berlekamp's algorithm of 1967.

More complex KenKen problems are formed using the principles described above but omitting the symbols +, −, × and ÷, thus leaving them as yet another unknown to be determined. Other authors of puzzles include more complex operations, including exponentiation, modulus, and bit-wise operations. Ranges of values can be varied, such as including zero, or having negative values (e.g., -2 to +2 in a 5-by-5 square).

Tsagris et al. (2014) saw from numerical investigation that when \mu<\sigma , the maximum is met when x=0 , and when \mu becomes greater than 3\sigma , the maximum approaches \mu . This is of course something to be expected, since, in this case, the folded normal converges to the normal distribution. In order to avoid any trouble with negative variances, the exponentiation of the parameter is suggested.

Thus and . These conventions exist to eliminate notational ambiguity, while allowing notation to be as brief as possible. Where it is desired to override the precedence conventions, or even simply to emphasize them, parentheses ( ) can be used to indicate an alternative order of operations (or to simply reinforce the default order of operations). For example, forces addition to precede multiplication, while forces addition to precede exponentiation.

In mathematical logic, Tarski's high school algebra problem was a question posed by Alfred Tarski. It asks whether there are identities involving addition, multiplication, and exponentiation over the positive integers that cannot be proved using eleven axioms about these operations that are taught in high-school-level mathematics. The question was solved in 1980 by Alex Wilkie, who showed that such unprovable identities do exist.

The sum of three points P, Q, and R on an elliptic curve E (red) is zero if there is a line (blue) passing through these points. A widely applied cryptographic routine uses the fact that discrete exponentiation, i.e., computing : ( factors, for an integer ) in a (large) finite field can be performed much more efficiently than the discrete logarithm, which is the inverse operation, i.e., determining the solution to an equation :.

Non- commensurable quantities have different physical dimensions, which means that adding or subtracting them is not meaningful. For instance, adding the mass of an object to its volume has no physical meaning. However, new quantities (and, as such, units) can be derived via multiplication and exponentiation of other units. As an example, the SI unit for force is the newton, which is defined as kg⋅m⋅s−2.

In mathematics, particularly in linear algebra and applications, matrix analysis is the study of matrices and their algebraic properties. Some particular topics out of many include; operations defined on matrices (such as matrix addition, matrix multiplication and operations derived from these), functions of matrices (such as matrix exponentiation and matrix logarithm, and even sines and cosines etc. of matrices), and the eigenvalues of matrices (eigendecomposition of a matrix, eigenvalue perturbation theory).

For some mathematical functions, a gold "f−1" prefix key would access the inverse of the gold-printed functions, e.g. "f−1" followed by "4" would calculate the inverse sine (sin^{-1}). Functions included square root, inverse, trigonometric (sine, cosine, tangent and their inverses), exponentiation, logarithms and factorial. The HP-65 was one of the first calculators to include a base conversion function, although it only supported octal (base 8) conversion.

The algorithm processes decryption as fast as Rabin and RSA, however it has much slower encryption since the sender must compute a full exponentiation. Since encryption uses a fixed known exponent an addition chain may be used to optimize the encryption process. The cost of producing an optimal addition chain can be amortized over the life of the public key, that is, it need only be computed once and cached.

RSA and Diffie–Hellman use modular exponentiation. In computer algebra, modular arithmetic is commonly used to limit the size of integer coefficients in intermediate calculations and data. It is used in polynomial factorization, a problem for which all known efficient algorithms use modular arithmetic. It is used by the most efficient implementations of polynomial greatest common divisor, exact linear algebra and Gröbner basis algorithms over the integers and the rational numbers.

Although the Cartesian product is traditionally applied to sets, category theory provides a more general interpretation of the product of mathematical structures. This is distinct from, although related to, the notion of a Cartesian square in category theory, which is a generalization of the fiber product. Exponentiation is the right adjoint of the Cartesian product; thus any category with a Cartesian product (and a final object) is a Cartesian closed category.

In the base ten (decimal) number system, integer powers of are written as the digit followed or preceded by a number of zeroes determined by the sign and magnitude of the exponent. For example, and . Exponentiation with base is used in scientific notation to denote large or small numbers. For instance, (the speed of light in vacuum, in metres per second) can be written as and then approximated as .

Algebraic operations in the solution to the quadratic equation. The radical sign, √ denoting a square root, is equivalent to exponentiation to the power of ½. The ± sign means the equation can be written with either a + or with a – sign. In mathematics, a basic algebraic operation is any one of the common operations of arithmetic, which include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to an integer power, and taking roots (fractional power).

According to colour vision researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin (including Jay Neitz), each of the three standard colour-detecting cones in the retina of trichromats – blue, green and red – can pick up about 100 different gradations of colour. If each detector is independent of the others, simple exponentiation gives a total number of colours discernible by an average human as their product, or about 1 million; nevertheless, other researchers have put the number at upwards of 2.3 million. Exponentiation suggests that a dichromat (such as a human with red-green color blindness) would be able to distinguish about 10,000 different colours,"Color Vision:Almost Reason for Having Eyes" by Jay Neitz, Joseph Carroll, and Maureen Neitz Optics & Photonics News January 2001 1047-6938/01/01/0026/8- Optical Society of America but no such calculation has been verified by psychophysical testing. Furthermore, dichromats have a significantly higher threshold than trichromats for coloured stimuli flickering at low (1 Hz) frequencies.

For the kilobyte, a second definition has been in common use in some fields of computer science and information technology. It uses kilobyte to mean 210 bytes (= 1024 bytes), because of the mathematical coincidence that 210 is approximately 103. The reason for this application is that digital hardware and architectures natively use base 2 exponentiation, and not decimal systems. JEDEC memory standards still permit this definition, but acknowledge the correct SI usage.

The exponentiation inherent in floating- point computation assures a much larger dynamic range – the largest and smallest numbers that can be represented – which is especially important when processing data sets where some of the data may have extremely large range of numerical values or where the range may be unpredictable. As such, floating- point processors are ideally suited for computationally intensive applications.Summary: Fixed-point (integer) vs floating-point Retrieved on December 25, 2009.

The efficiency of Shor's algorithm is due to the efficiency of the quantum Fourier transform, and modular exponentiation by repeated squarings. If a quantum computer with a sufficient number of qubits could operate without succumbing to quantum noise and other quantum-decoherence phenomena, then Shor's algorithm could be used to break public-key cryptography schemes, such as the widely used RSA scheme. RSA is based on the assumption that factoring large integers is computationally intractable.

Deployment of STS can take different forms depending on communication requirements and the level of prior communication between parties. The data described in STS Setup may be shared prior to the beginning of a session to lessen the impact of the session's establishment. In the following explanations, exponentiation (Diffie–Hellman) operations provide the basis for key agreement, though this is not a requirement. The protocol may be modified, for example, to use elliptic curves instead.

The Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) is a Federal Information Processing Standard for digital signatures, based on the mathematical concept of modular exponentiation and the discrete logarithm problem. DSA is a variant of the Schnorr and ElGamal signature schemes. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) proposed DSA for use in their Digital Signature Standard (DSS) in 1991, and adopted it as FIPS 186 in 1994. Four revisions to the initial specification have been released.

The subroutine concept led to the availability of a substantial subroutine library. By 1951, 87 subroutines in the following categories were available for general use: floating point arithmetic; arithmetic operations on complex numbers; checking; division; exponentiation; routines relating to functions; differential equations; special functions; power series; logarithms; miscellaneous; print and layout; quadrature; read (input); nth root; trigonometric functions; counting operations (simulating repeat until loops, while loops and for loops); vectors; and matrices.

German illustrator Rotraut Susanne Berner provided many full- page illustrations, as well as smaller drawings, for the book. The Number Devil was first published in German in 1997. The Number Devil has been noted for its unorthodox abandonment of standard notation; instead, Enzensberger created a variety of fictional terms to help describe mathematical concepts. For instance, exponentiation takes the term hopping, and the fictional term unreasonable numbers was coined for irrational numbers.

In mathematics, a square number or perfect square is an integer that is the square of an integer;Some authors also call squares of rational numbers perfect squares. in other words, it is the product of some integer with itself. For example, 9 is a square number, since it can be written as . The usual notation for the square of a number is not the product , but the equivalent exponentiation , usually pronounced as " squared".

With PCF theory, he showed that in spite of the undecidability of the most basic questions of cardinal arithmetic (such as the continuum hypothesis), there are still highly nontrivial ZFC theorems about cardinal exponentiation. Shelah constructed a Jónsson group, an uncountable group for which every proper subgroup is countable. He showed that Whitehead's problem is independent of ZFC. He gave the first primitive recursive upper bound to van der Waerden's numbers V(C,N).

In expressions such as a^b, the notation for exponentiation is usually to write the exponent b as a superscript to the base number a. But many environments -- such as programming languages and plain-text e-mail -- do not support superscript typesetting. People have adopted the linear notation a \uparrow b for such environments; the up-arrow suggests 'raising to the power of'. If the character set does not contain an up arrow, the caret (^) is used instead.

The evaluation of function f_{a}(x) in the Naor–Reingold construction can be done very efficiently. Computing the value of the function f_{a}(x) at any given point is comparable with one modular exponentiation and n-modular multiplications. This function can be computed in parallel by threshold circuits of bounded depth and polynomial size. The Naor–Reingold function can be used as the basis of many cryptographic schemes including symmetric encryption, authentication and digital signatures.

In the mathematical field of set theory, ordinal arithmetic describes the three usual operations on ordinal numbers: addition, multiplication, and exponentiation. Each can be defined in essentially two different ways: either by constructing an explicit well-ordered set which represents the operation or by using transfinite recursion. Cantor normal form provides a standardized way of writing ordinals. In addition to these usual ordinal operations, there are also the "natural" arithmetic of ordinals and the nimber operations.

Most operators encountered in programming and mathematics are of the binary form. For both programming and mathematics, these can be the multiplication operator, the radix operator, the often omitted exponentiation operator, the logarithm operator, the addition operator, the division operator. Logical predicates such as OR, XOR, AND, IMP are typically used as binary operators with two distinct operands. In CISC architectures, it is common to have two source operands (and store result in one of them).

These matrices are traceless, Hermitian (so they can generate unitary matrix group elements through exponentiation), and obey the extra trace orthonormality relation. These properties were chosen by Gell-Mann because they then naturally generalize the Pauli matrices for SU(2) to SU(3), which formed the basis for Gell-Mann's quark model. Gell-Mann's generalization further extends to general SU(n). For their connection to the standard basis of Lie algebras, see the Weyl–Cartan basis.

Macintyre developed a first-order model theory for intersection theory and showed connections to Alexander Grothendieck's standard conjectures on algebraic cycles. Macintyre has proved many results on the model theory of real and complex exponentiation. With Alex Wilkie he proved the decidability of real exponential fields (solving a problem of Alfred Tarski) modulo Schanuel's conjecture from transcendental number theory. With Lou van den Dries he initiated and studied the model theory of logarithmic-exponential series and Hardy fields.

For example, exponentiation is normally right-associative in mathematics, but is implemented as left-associative in some computer applications like Excel. In programming languages where assignment is implemented as an operator, that operator is often right-associative. If so, a statement like would be equivalent to , which means that the value of c is copied to b which is then copied to a. An operator which is non-associative cannot compete for operands with operators of equal precedence.

This covers the definition and basic properties of cardinals. A cardinal is defined to be an equivalence class of similar classes (as opposed to ZFC, where a cardinal is a special sort of von Neumann ordinal). Each type has its own collection of cardinals associated with it, and there is a considerable amount of bookkeeping necessary for comparing cardinals of different types. PM define addition, multiplication and exponentiation of cardinals, and compare different definitions of finite and infinite cardinals.

The perplexity is 2−0.9 log2 0.9 - 0.1 log2 0.1= 1.38. The inverse of the perplexity (which, in the case of the fair k-sided die, represents the probability of guessing correctly), is 1/1.38 = 0.72, not 0.9. The perplexity is the exponentiation of the entropy, which is a more clearcut quantity. The entropy is a measure of the expected, or "average", number of bits required to encode the outcome of the random variable, using a theoretical optimal variable-length code, cf.

There are other ordinal notations capable of capturing ordinals well past \varepsilon_0, but because there are only countably many strings over any finite alphabet, for any given ordinal notation there will be ordinals below \omega_1 (the first uncountable ordinal) that are not expressible. Such ordinals are known as large countable ordinals. The operations of addition, multiplication and exponentiation are all examples of primitive recursive ordinal functions, and more general primitive recursive ordinal functions can be used to describe larger ordinals.

One notion of derivative in this setting is the H-derivative of a function on an abstract Wiener space. Multiplicative calculus replaces addition with multiplication, and hence rather than dealing with the limit of a ratio of differences, it deals with the limit of an exponentiation of ratios. This allows the development of the geometric derivative and bigeometric derivative. Moreover, just like the classical differential operator has a discrete analog, the difference operator, there are also discrete analogs of these multiplicative derivatives.

Such a design leads to a matrix: columns represent increments in calculator functionality, and rows represent different presentation front-ends. Such a matrix M is shown to the right: columns allow one to pair basic calculator functionality (base) with optional logarithmic/exponentiation (lx) and trigonometric (td) features. Rows allow one to pair core functionality with no front-end (core), with optional GUI (gui) and web-based (web) front-ends. An element Mij implements the interaction of column feature i and row feature j.

The base appears times in the repeated multiplication, because the exponent is . Here, is the 5th power of 3, or 3 raised to the 5th power. The word "raised" is usually omitted, and sometimes "power" as well, so can be simply read "3 to the 5th", or "3 to the 5". Therefore, the exponentiation can be expressed as "b to the power of n", "b to the nth power", "b to the nth", or most briefly as "b to the n".

Wilkie's results from his paper show, in more formal language, that the "only gap" in the high school axioms is the inability to manipulate polynomials with negative coefficients. R. Gurevič showed in 1988 that there is no finite axiomisation for the valid equations for the positive natural numbers with 1, addition, multiplication, and exponentiation.R. Gurevič, Equational theory of positive numbers with exponentiation is not finitely axiomatizable, Annals of Pure and Applied Logic, 49:1–30, 1990.Fiore, Cosmo, and Balat.

If exponentiation is indicated by stacked symbols using superscript notation, the usual rule is to work from the top down: : which typically is not equal to (ab)c. However, when using operator notation with a caret (^) or arrow (↑), there is no common standard. For example, Microsoft Excel and computation programming language MATLAB evaluate `a^b^c` as (ab)c, but Google Search and Wolfram Alpha as a(bc). Thus `4^3^2` is evaluated to 4,096 in the first case and to 262,144 in the second case.

Sometimes an even weaker system than RCA0 is desired. One such system is defined as follows: one must first augment the language of arithmetic with an exponential function (in stronger systems the exponential can be defined in terms of addition and multiplication by the usual trick, but when the system becomes too weak this is no longer possible) and the basic axioms by the obvious axioms defining exponentiation inductively from multiplication; then the system consists of the (enriched) basic axioms, plus Δ01 comprehension, plus Δ00 induction.

The algorithm can be written in pseudocode as follows: inputs: n, a value to test for primality k, a parameter that determines the accuracy of the test output: composite if n is composite, otherwise probably prime repeat k times: choose a randomly in the range [2,n − 1] if or then return composite return probably prime Using fast algorithms for modular exponentiation, the running time of this algorithm is O(k·log3 n), where k is the number of different values of a we test.

One of the earliest discussions of hyperoperations was that of Albert Bennett in 1914, who developed some of the theory of commutative hyperoperations (see below). About 12 years later, Wilhelm Ackermann defined the function \phi(a, b, n) which somewhat resembles the hyperoperation sequence. In his 1947 paper, R. L. Goodstein introduced the specific sequence of operations that are now called hyperoperations, and also suggested the Greek names tetration, pentation, etc., for the extended operations beyond exponentiation (because they correspond to the indices 4, 5, etc.).

Lee and Fox compared the Standard and Extended Boolean models with three test collections, CISI, CACM and INSPEC. Using P-norms they obtained an average precision improvement of 79%, 106% and 210% over the Standard model, for the CISI, CACM and INSPEC collections, respectively. The P-norm model is computationally expensive because of the number of exponentiation operations that it requires but it achieves much better results than the Standard model and even Fuzzy retrieval techniques. The Standard Boolean model is still the most efficient.

The Third Edition, released in 1966 and the first to use the "edition" naming, was the first designed specifically with the intent of running on the new GE-635 computer which was due to arrive shortly. This version includes the `MAT` functions from CARDBASIC, although they now allow for a subscript of 0. The new `SGN` function gave the sign of its argument (positive⇒0 and negative⇒1), while `RESTORE` was added to "rewind" the position of `READ/DATA`. The exponentiation problem was fixed, so would be interpreted as .

In chemistry, pH is a logarithmic measure for the acidity of an aqueous solution. Logarithms are commonplace in scientific formulae, and in measurements of the complexity of algorithms and of geometric objects called fractals. They help to describe frequency ratios of musical intervals, appear in formulas counting prime numbers or approximating factorials, inform some models in psychophysics, and can aid in forensic accounting. In the same way as the logarithm reverses exponentiation, the complex logarithm is the inverse function of the exponential function, whether applied to real numbers or complex numbers.

It is interesting to analyze the group law in elliptic curve cryptography, defining the addition and doubling formulas, because these formulas are necessary to compute multiples of points [n]P (see Exponentiation by squaring). In general, the group law is defined in the following way: if three points lies in the same line then they sum up to zero. So, by this property, the group laws are different for every curve shape. In this case, since these curves are special cases of Weierstrass curves, the addition is just the standard addition on Weierstrass curves.

The calculator can be set to display values in binary, octal, or hexadecimal form, as well as the default decimal. When a non-decimal base is selected, calculation results are truncated to integers. Regardless of which display base is set, non- decimal numbers must be entered with a suffix indicating their base, which involves three or more extra keystrokes. When hexadecimal is selected, the row of six keys normally used for floating-point functions (trigonometry, logarithms, exponentiation, etc.) are instead allocated to the hex digits A to F (although they are physically labelled to ).

Visualization of powers of two from 1 to 1024 (20 to 210). A power of two is a number of the form where is an integer, that is, the result of exponentiation with number two as the base and integer as the exponent. In a context where only integers are considered, is restricted to non-negative values, so we have 1, 2, and 2 multiplied by itself a certain number of times. Because two is the base of the binary numeral system, powers of two are common in computer science.

This is one of a number of characterizations of the exponential function; others involve series or differential equations. From any of these definitions it can be shown that the exponential function obeys the basic exponentiation identity, :\exp(x + y) = \exp x \cdot \exp y which justifies the notation for . The derivative (rate of change) of the exponential function is the exponential function itself. More generally, a function with a rate of change proportional to the function itself (rather than equal to it) is expressible in terms of the exponential function.

Although the first five terms are prime, no known methods can prove that any further terms are prime (in any reasonable time) simply because they are too huge. However, if c_5 is not prime, there is a chance to discover this by computing c_5 modulo some small prime p (using recursive modular exponentiation). If the resulting residue is zero, p represents a factor of c_5 and thus would disprove its primality. Since c_5 is a Mersenne number, such prime factor p must be of the form 2kc_4 +1.

In mathematics and computer programming, exponentiating by squaring is a general method for fast computation of large positive integer powers of a number, or more generally of an element of a semigroup, like a polynomial or a square matrix. Some variants are commonly referred to as square-and-multiply algorithms or binary exponentiation. These can be of quite general use, for example in modular arithmetic or powering of matrices. For semigroups for which additive notation is commonly used, like elliptic curves used in cryptography, this method is also referred to as double-and-add.

Distance marker on the Rhine: 36 (XXXVI) myriametres from Basel Although formerly in use, the SI disallows combining prefixes; the microkilogram or centimillimetre, for example, are not permitted. Prefixes corresponding to powers of one thousand are usually preferred, however, units such as the hectopascal, hectare, decibel, centimetre, and centilitre, are commonly used. In mathematical contexts, the unit prefixes are always considered part of the unit, so that, e.g., in exponentiation, 1 km2 means one square kilometre not one thousand square metre and 1 cm3 means one cubic centimetre not one hundredth of a cubic metre.

Adi Shamir, co-inventor of RSA (the others are Ron Rivest and Leonard Adleman) The idea of an asymmetric public-private key cryptosystem is attributed to Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman, who published this concept in 1976. They also introduced digital signatures and attempted to apply number theory. Their formulation used a shared-secret-key created from exponentiation of some number, modulo a prime number. However, they left open the problem of realizing a one-way function, possibly because the difficulty of factoring was not well-studied at the time.

The first three-pass protocol was the Shamir three-pass protocol developed circa in 1980. It is also called the Shamir No-Key Protocol because the sender and the receiver do not exchange any keys, however the protocol requires the sender and receiver to have two private keys for encrypting and decrypting messages. The Shamir algorithm uses exponentiation modulo a large prime as both the encryption and decryption functions. That is E(e,m) = me mod p and D(d,m) = md mod p where p is a large prime.

The original version of 24 is played with an ordinary deck of playing cards with all the face cards removed. The aces are taken to have the value 1 and the basic game proceeds by having 4 cards dealt and the first player that can achieve the number 24 exactly using only allowed operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and parentheses) wins the hand. Some advanced players allow exponentiation, roots, logarithms, and other operations. For short games of 24, once a hand is won, the cards go to the player that won.

Wilkie then tackled the question of which finite sets of functions could be added to R to get this result. It turned out that adding any Pfaffian chain restricted to the box [0,1]m would give the same result. In particular one may add all Pfaffian functions to R to get the structure RPfaff as an intermediate result between Gabrielov's result and Wilkie's theorem. Since the exponential function is a Pfaffian chain by itself, the result on exponentiation can be viewed as a special case of this latter result.

Every automorphism of \Q(\omega) is obtained in this way, and these automorphisms form the Galois group of \Q(\omega) over the field of the rationals. The rules of exponentiation imply that the composition of two such automorphisms is obtained by multiplying the exponents. It follows that the map :k\mapsto \left(\omega \mapsto \omega^k\right) defines a group isomorphism between the units of the ring of integers modulo and the Galois group of \Q(\omega). This shows that this Galois group is abelian, and implies thus that the primitive roots of unity may be expressed in terms of radicals.

APL, R, Stata, SageMath, Matlab, Magma, GAP, Singular, PARI/GP, and GNU Octave evaluate `x0` to . Mathematica and Macsyma simplify `x0` to even if no constraints are placed on `x`; however, if `00` is entered directly, it is treated as an error or indeterminate. SageMath does not simplify `0x`. Maple, Mathematica and PARI/GP further distinguish between integer and floating-point values: If the exponent is a zero of integer type, they return a of the type of the base; exponentiation with a floating-point exponent of value zero is treated as undefined, indeterminate or error.

Gentzen's theorem is concerned with first-order arithmetic: the theory of the natural numbers, including their addition and multiplication, axiomatized by the first-order Peano axioms. This is a "first-order" theory: the quantifiers extend over natural numbers, but not over sets or functions of natural numbers. The theory is strong enough to describe recursively defined integer functions such as exponentiation, factorials or the Fibonacci sequence. Gentzen showed that the consistency of the first-order Peano axioms is provable over the base theory of primitive recursive arithmetic with the additional principle of quantifier- free transfinite induction up to the ordinal ε0.

The modalities are supplemented by d (destroy), which indicates capture of an own piece, t (test), which is like p, but hops over friendly pieces only, and u (unload), which leaves a previously captured piece on the visited square. A swap can thus be written as cdN-buN-bN. The modifier o on non-final legs is used for temporarily moving off-board, and can be used to make following steps (which better step back onto the board) dependnet on the proximity of a board edge. Betza 2.0 treats range specifiers as exponentiation in the same way as Bex, e.g.

The above method actually takes \Omega(n^2) time for large n because addition of two integers with \Omega(n) bits each takes \Omega(n) time. (The nth fibonacci number has \Omega(n) bits.) Also, there is a closed form for the Fibonacci sequence, known as Binet's formula, from which the n-th term can be computed in approximately O(n(\log n)^2) time, which is more efficient than the above dynamic programming technique. However, the simple recurrence directly gives the matrix form that leads to an approximately O(n\log n) algorithm by fast matrix exponentiation.

Squaring is an important operation because it can be used for general exponentiation, as well as inversion of an element. The most basic way to square an element in the polynomial basis would be to apply a chosen multiplication algorithm on an element twice. In general case, there are minor optimizations that can be made, specifically related to the fact that when multiplying an element by itself, all the bits will be the same. In practice, however, the irreducible polynomial for the field is chosen with very few nonzero coefficients which makes squaring in polynomial basis of GF(2m) much simpler than multiplication.

The square of a graph In graph theory, a branch of mathematics, the kth power Gk of an undirected graph G is another graph that has the same set of vertices, but in which two vertices are adjacent when their distance in G is at most k. Powers of graphs are referred to using terminology similar to that of exponentiation of numbers: G2 is called the square of G, G3 is called the cube of G, etc.. Graph powers should be distinguished from the products of a graph with itself, which (unlike powers) generally have many more vertices than the original graph.

In 1976, an asymmetric key cryptosystem was published by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman who, influenced by Ralph Merkle's work on public key distribution, disclosed a method of public key agreement. This method of key exchange, which uses exponentiation in a finite field, came to be known as Diffie–Hellman key exchange. This was the first published practical method for establishing a shared secret-key over an authenticated (but not confidential) communications channel without using a prior shared secret. Merkle's "public key-agreement technique" became known as Merkle's Puzzles, and was invented in 1974 and published in 1978.

Since modular arithmetic has such a wide range of applications, it is important to know how hard it is to solve a system of congruences. A linear system of congruences can be solved in polynomial time with a form of Gaussian elimination, for details see linear congruence theorem. Algorithms, such as Montgomery reduction, also exist to allow simple arithmetic operations, such as multiplication and exponentiation modulo , to be performed efficiently on large numbers. Some operations, like finding a discrete logarithm or a quadratic congruence appear to be as hard as integer factorization and thus are a starting point for cryptographic algorithms and encryption.

Over the course of twelve dreams, the Number Devil teaches Robert mathematical principles. On the first night, the Number Devil appears to Robert in an oversized world and introduces the number one. The next night, the Number Devil emerges in a forest of trees shaped like "ones" and explains the necessity of the number zero, negative numbers, and introduces hopping, a fictional term to describe exponentiation. On the third night, the Number Devil brings Robert to a cave and reveals how prima-donna numbers (prime numbers) can only be divided by themselves and one without a remainder.

That is, any set definable in this structure Ran was just the projection of some higher- dimensional set defined by identities and inequalities involving these restricted analytic functions. In the 1990s, Alex Wilkie showed that one has the same result if instead of adding every analytic function, one just adds the exponential function to R to get the ordered real field with exponentiation, Rexp, a result known as Wilkie's theorem.A.J.

Both low and high superscripts can be used to indicate the presence of a footnote in a document, like this5 or thisxi. Any combination of characters can be used for this purpose; in technical writing footnotes are sometimes composed of letters and numbers together, like this.A.2 The choice of low or high alignment depends on taste, but high-set footnotes tend to be more common, as they stand out more from the text. In mathematics, high superscripts are used for exponentiation to indicate that one number or variable is raised to the power of another number or variable.

94.038501 (2005) is that, at any place and time, the local failure rate depends exponentially on the applied stress. The second key ingredient is to recognize that, In the Earth crust, the local stress field is the sum of the large scale, far-field stress due to plate motion, plus all stress fluctuations due to past earthquakes. As elastic stresses add up, the exponentiation thus makes this model nonlinear. Solving it analytically allowed them to predict that each event triggers some aftershocks with a rate decaying in time according to the Omori law, i.e. as 1/tp, but with a special twist that had not been recognized heretofore.

Both are written as exponentiation modulo a composite number, and both are related to the problem of prime factorization. Functions related to the hardness of the discrete logarithm problem (either modulo a prime or in a group defined over an elliptic curve) are not known to be trapdoor functions, because there is no known "trapdoor" information about the group that enables the efficient computation of discrete logarithms. A trapdoor in cryptography has the very specific aforementioned meaning and is not to be confused with a backdoor (these are frequently used interchangeably, which is incorrect). A backdoor is a deliberate mechanism that is added to a cryptographic algorithm (e.g.

A subset of flags in a flag field may be extracted by ANDing with a mask. In addition, a large number of languages, due to the shift operator's (<<) use in performing power-of-two (`(1 << n)` evaluates to 2^n) exponentiation, also support the use of the shift operator (<<) in combination with the AND operator (&) to determine the value of one or more bits. Suppose that the status-byte 103 (decimal) is returned, and that within the status- byte we want to check the 5th flag bit. The flag of interest (literal bit- position 6) is the 5th one - so the mask-byte will be 2^5 = 32.

For the large primes used in cryptography, Provable primes can be generated using variants of Pocklington primality test or Probable primes using standard probabilistic primality tests such as the Baillie–PSW primality test or the Miller–Rabin primality test. Both the provable and probable primality tests use modular exponentiation, a comparatively expensive computation. To reduce the computational cost, the integers are first checked for any small prime divisors using either sieves similar to the Sieve of Eratosthenes or Trial division. Integers with special forms, such as Mersenne prime or Fermat primes, can be efficiently tested for primality if the prime factorization of p − 1 or p + 1 is known.

Exponentiation is when you raise a number to a certain power. For example, raising to the power equals : : 2^3 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8 The general case is when you raise a number to the power of to get : : b^y=x The number is referred to as the base of this expression. The base is the number that is raised to a particular power—in the above example, the base of the expression 2^3=8 is . It is easy to make the base the subject of the expression: all you have to do is take the root of both sides.

SEED is a 16-round Feistel network with 128-bit blocks and a 128-bit key. It uses two 8 × 8 S-boxes which, like those of SAFER, are derived from discrete exponentiation (in this case, x247 and x251 - plus some "incompatible operations"). It also has some resemblance to MISTY1 in the recursiveness of its structure: the 128-bit full cipher is a Feistel network with an F-function operating on 64-bit halves, while the F-function itself is a Feistel network composed of a G-function operating on 32-bit halves. However the recursion does not extend further because the G-function is not a Feistel network.

For example, the order does not matter in the multiplication of real numbers, that is, , so we say that the multiplication of real numbers is a commutative operation. Associative operations are abundant in mathematics; in fact, many algebraic structures (such as semigroups and categories) explicitly require their binary operations to be associative. However, many important and interesting operations are non-associative; some examples include subtraction, exponentiation, and the vector cross product. In contrast to the theoretical properties of real numbers, the addition of floating point numbers in computer science is not associative, and the choice of how to associate an expression can have a significant effect on rounding error.

In 1977, a generalization of Cocks' scheme was independently invented by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman, all then at MIT. The latter authors published their work in 1978, and the algorithm came to be known as RSA, from their initials. RSA uses exponentiation modulo a product of two very large primes, to encrypt and decrypt, performing both public key encryption and public key digital signature. Its security is connected to the extreme difficulty of factoring large integers, a problem for which there is no known efficient general technique (though prime factorization may be obtained through brute-force attacks; that may be harder the larger the prime factors are).

The powers of ω function is also an exponential function, but does not have the properties desired for an extension of the function on the reals. It will, however, be needed in the development of the base-e exponential, and it is this function that is meant whenever the notation ωx is used in the following. When y is a dyadic fraction, the power function , may be composed from multiplication, multiplicative inverse and square root, all of which can be defined inductively. Its values are completely determined by the basic relation and where defined it necessarily agrees with any other exponentiation that can exist.

If z is an integer, then the value of wz is independent of the choice of , and it agrees with the earlier definition of exponentiation with an integer exponent. If z is a rational number m/n in lowest terms with , then the countably infinitely many choices of yield only n different values for wz; these values are the n complex solutions s to the equation . If z is an irrational number, then the countably infinitely many choices of lead to infinitely many distinct values for wz. The computation of complex powers is facilitated by converting the base w to polar form, as described in detail below.

There are differing conventions concerning the unary operator − (usually read "minus"). In written or printed mathematics, the expression −32 is interpreted to mean . In some applications and programming languages, notably Microsoft Excel (and other spreadsheet applications) and the programming language bc, unary operators have a higher priority than binary operators, that is, the unary minus has higher precedence than exponentiation, so in those languages −32 will be interpreted as . This does not apply to the binary minus operator −; for example in Microsoft Excel while the formulas `=−2^2`, `=-(2)^2` and `=0+−2^2` return 4, the formula `=0−2^2` and `=−(2^2)` return −4.

Further, a few textbooks in the United States encourage to be read as "the opposite of " or "the additive inverse of "—to avoid giving the impression that is necessarily negative (since itself may already be negative) In mathematics and most programming languages, the rules for the order of operations mean that is equal to : Exponentiation binds more strongly than the unary minus, which binds more strongly than multiplication or division. However, in some programming languages (Microsoft Excel in particular), unary operators bind strongest, so in those cases is 25, but is −25. Similar to the plus sign, the minus sign is also used in chemistry and physics. For more, see below.

The binary logarithm function may be defined as the inverse function to the power of two function, which is a strictly increasing function over the positive real numbers and therefore has a unique inverse.. Alternatively, it may be defined as , where is the natural logarithm, defined in any of its standard ways. Using the complex logarithm in this definition allows the binary logarithm to be extended to the complex numbers.For instance, Microsoft Excel provides the `IMLOG2` function for complex binary logarithms: see . As with other logarithms, the binary logarithm obeys the following equations, which can be used to simplify formulas that combine binary logarithms with multiplication or exponentiation:.

Tarski considered the following eleven axioms about addition ('+'), multiplication ('·'), and exponentiation to be standard axioms taught in high school: # x + y = y + x # (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) # x · 1 = x # x · y = y · x # (x · y) · z = x · (y · z) # x · (y + z) = x · y + x ·z # 1x = 1 # x1 = x # xy + z = xy · xz # (x · y)z = xz · yz # (xy)z = xy · z. These eleven axioms, sometimes called the high school identities,Stanley Burris, Simon Lee, Tarski's high school identities, American Mathematical Monthly, 100, (1993), no.3, pp.231-236. are related to the axioms of a bicartesian closed category or an exponential ring.

As discussed above, the Cantor Normal Form of ordinals below \varepsilon_0 can be expressed in an alphabet containing only the function symbols for addition, multiplication and exponentiation, as well as constant symbols for each natural number and for \omega. We can do away with the infinitely many numerals by using just the constant symbol 0 and the operation of successor, S (for example, the integer 4 may be expressed as S(S(S(S(0))))). This describes an ordinal notation: a system for naming ordinals over a finite alphabet. This particular system of ordinal notation is called the collection of arithmetical ordinal expressions, and can express all ordinals below \varepsilon_0, but cannot express \varepsilon_0.

Like Set, FinSet and FinOrd are topoi. As in Set, in FinSet the categorical product of two objects A and B is given by the cartesian product , the categorical sum is given by the disjoint union , and the exponential object BA is given by the set of all functions with domain A and codomain B. In FinOrd, the categorical product of two objects n and m is given by the ordinal product , the categorical sum is given by the ordinal sum , and the exponential object is given by the ordinal exponentiation nm. The subobject classifier in FinSet and FinOrd is the same as in Set. FinOrd is an example of a PRO.

Dov Jarden gave a simple non-constructive proof that there exist two irrational numbers a and b, such that ab is rational: Consider ; if this is rational, then take a = b = . Otherwise, take a to be the irrational number and b = . Then ab = () = · = 2 = 2, which is rational. Although the above argument does not decide between the two cases, the Gelfond–Schneider theorem shows that is transcendental, hence irrational. This theorem states that if a and b are both algebraic numbers, and a is not equal to 0 or 1, and b is not a rational number, then any value of ab is a transcendental number (there can be more than one value if complex number exponentiation is used).

In the 1960s, Hewlett-Packard was becoming a diversified electronics company with product lines in electronic test equipment, scientific instrumentation, and medical electronics, and was just beginning its entry into computers. The corporation recognized two opportunities: it might be possible to automate the instrumentation that HP was producing, and HP's customer base were likely to buy a product that could replace the slide rules and adding machines that they were now using for computation. With this in mind, HP built the HP 9100 desktop scientific calculator. This was a full- featured calculator that included not only standard "adding machine" functions but also powerful capabilities to handle floating-point numbers, trigonometric functions, logarithms, exponentiation, and square roots.

When multiplied, these produce , and the following Montgomery reduction produces , the Montgomery form of the desired product. (A final second Montgomery reduction converts out of Montgomery form.) Converting to and from Montgomery form makes this slower than the conventional or Barrett reduction algorithms for a single multiply. However, when performing many multiplications in a row, as in modular exponentiation, intermediate results can be left in Montgomery form, and the initial and final conversions become a negligible fraction of the overall computation. Many important cryptosystems such as RSA and Diffie–Hellman key exchange are based on arithmetic operations modulo a large number, and for these cryptosystems, the computation by Montgomery multiplication is faster than the available alternatives.

Indeed, there is no reason to stop at two levels: using \omega+1 new cardinals in this way, \Omega_1,\Omega_2,\ldots,\Omega_\omega, we get a system essentially equivalent to that introduced by Buchholz, the inessential difference being that since Buchholz uses \omega+1 ordinals from the start, he does not need to allow multiplication or exponentiation; also, Buchholz does not introduce the numbers 1 or \omega in the system as they will also be produced by the \psi functions: this makes the entire scheme much more elegant and more concise to define, albeit more difficult to understand. This system is also sensibly equivalent to the earlier (and much more difficult to grasp) “ordinal diagrams” of TakeutiTakeuti, 1967 (Ann.

Most definitions of ordinal collapsing functions found in the recent literature differ from the ones we have given in one technical but important way which makes them technically more convenient although intuitively less transparent. We now explain this. The following definition (by induction on \alpha) is completely equivalent to that of the function \psi above: :Let C(\alpha,\beta) be the set of ordinals generated starting from 0, 1, \omega, \Omega and all ordinals less than \beta by recursively applying the following functions: ordinal addition, multiplication and exponentiation, and the function \psi\upharpoonright_\alpha. Then \psi(\alpha) is defined as the smallest ordinal \rho such that C(\alpha,\rho) \cap \Omega = \rho.

When a prime occurs multiple times, exponentiation can be used to group together multiple copies of the same prime number: for example, in the second way of writing the product above, 3^2 denotes the square or second power of 3. The central importance of prime numbers to number theory and mathematics in general stems from the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. This theorem states that every integer larger than 1 can be written as a product of one or more primes. More strongly, this product is unique in the sense that any two prime factorizations of the same number will have the same numbers of copies of the same primes, although their ordering may differ.

An analytic expression (or expression in analytic form) is a mathematical expression constructed using well-known operations that lend themselves readily to calculation. Similar to closed-form expressions, the set of well-known functions allowed can vary according to context but always includes the basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), exponentiation to a real exponent (which includes extraction of the th root), logarithms, and trigonometric functions. However, the class of expressions considered to be analytic expressions tends to be wider than that for closed- form expressions. In particular, special functions such as the Bessel functions and the gamma function are usually allowed, and often so are infinite series and continued fractions.

PR is the complexity class of all primitive recursive functions—or, equivalently, the set of all formal languages that can be decided by such a function. This includes addition, multiplication, exponentiation, tetration, etc. The Ackermann function is an example of a function that is not primitive recursive, showing that PR is strictly contained in R (Cooper 2004:88). On the other hand, we can "enumerate" any recursively enumerable set (see also its complexity class RE) by a primitive-recursive function in the following sense: given an input (M, k), where M is a Turing machine and k is an integer, if M halts within k steps then output M; otherwise output nothing.

Montgomery multiplication, which depends on the rightmost digit of the result, is one solution; though rather like carry- save addition itself, it carries a fixed overhead, so that a sequence of Montgomery multiplications saves time but a single one does not. Fortunately exponentiation, which is effectively a sequence of multiplications, is the most common operation in public-key cryptography. Careful error analysis allows a choice to be made about subtracting the modulus even though we don't know for certain whether the result of the addition is big enough to warrant the subtraction. For this to work, it is necessary for the circuit design to be able to add −2, −1, 0, +1 or +2 times the modulus.

The execution time for the square-and-multiply algorithm used in modular exponentiation depends linearly on the number of '1' bits in the key. While the number of '1' bits alone is not nearly enough information to make finding the key easy, repeated executions with the same key and different inputs can be used to perform statistical correlation analysis of timing information to recover the key completely, even by a passive attacker. Observed timing measurements often include noise (from such sources as network latency, or disk drive access differences from access to access, and the error correction techniques used to recover from transmission errors). Nevertheless, timing attacks are practical against a number of encryption algorithms, including RSA, ElGamal, and the Digital Signature Algorithm.

Since a coherent derived unit is one which is defined by means of multiplication and exponentiation of other units but not multiplied by any scaling factor other than 1, the pascal is a coherent unit of pressure (defined as kg⋅m−1⋅s−2), but the bar (defined as ) is not. Note that coherence of a given unit depends on the definition of the base units. Should the standard unit of length change such that it is shorter by a factor of , then the bar would be a coherent derived unit. However, a coherent unit remains coherent (and a non-coherent unit remains non-coherent) if the base units are redefined in terms of other units with the numerical factor always being unity.

TUTOR's expression syntax did not look back to the syntax of FORTRAN, nor was it limited by poorly designed character sets of the era. For example, the PLATO IV character set included control characters for subscript and superscript, and TUTOR used these for exponentiation. Consider this command (from page IV-1 of The TUTOR Language, Sherwood, 1974): circle (412+72.62)1/2,100,200 The character set also included the conventional symbols for multiplication and division, `×` and `÷`, but in a more radical departure from the conventions established by FORTRAN, it allowed implicit multiplication, so the expressions `(4+7)(3+6)` and `3.4+5(23-3)/2` were valid, with the values 99 and 15.9, respectively (op cit). This feature was seen as essential.

The DSA algorithm works in the framework of public-key cryptosystems and is based on the algebraic properties of modular exponentiation, together with the discrete logarithm problem, which is considered to be computationally intractable. The algorithm uses a key pair consisting of a public key and a private key. The private key is used to generate a digital signature for a message, and such a signature can be verified by using the signer's corresponding public key. The digital signature provides message authentication (the receiver can verify the origin of the message), integrity (the receiver can verify that the message has not been modified since it was signed) and non-repudiation (the sender cannot falsely claim that they have not signed the message).

The basic arithmetic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, although this subject also includes more advanced operations, such as manipulations of percentages, square roots, exponentiation, logarithmic functions, and even trigonometric functions, in the same vein as logarithms (prosthaphaeresis). Arithmetic expressions must be evaluated according to the intended sequence of operations. There are several methods to specify this, either—most common, together with infix notation—explicitly using parentheses and relying on precedence rules, or using a prefix or postfix notation, which uniquely fix the order of execution by themselves. Any set of objects upon which all four arithmetic operations (except division by zero) can be performed, and where these four operations obey the usual laws (including distributivity), is called a field.

Babbage was the first to study the problem of finding a functional square root . To distinguish exponentiation from function composition, the common usage is to write the exponential exponent after the parenthesis enclosing the argument of the function; that is, means , and means . For historical reasons, and because of the ambiguity resulting of not enclosing arguments with parentheses, a superscript after a function name applied specifically to the trigonometric and hyperbolic functions has a deviating meaning: a positive exponent applied to the function's abbreviation means that the result is raised to that power, while an exponent of still denotes the inverse function. That is, is just a shorthand way to write without using parentheses, whereas refers to the inverse function of the sine, also called .

For students to succeed at finding the derivatives and antiderivatives of calculus, they will need facility with algebraic expressions, particularly in modification and transformation of such expressions. Leonhard Euler wrote the first precalculus book in 1748 called Introduction to the Analysis of the Infinite, which "was meant as a survey of concepts and methods in analysis and analytic geometry preliminary to the study of differential and integral calculus."H. J. M. Bos (1980) "Newton, Leibnitz and the Leibnizian tradition", chapter 2, pages 49–93, quote page 76, in From the Calculus to Set Theory, 1630 – 1910: An Introductory History, edited by Ivor Grattan-Guinness, Duckworth He began with the fundamental concepts of variables and functions. His innovation is noted for its use of exponentiation to introduce the transcendental functions.

Arithmetic tables for children, Lausanne, 1835 Arithmetic (from the Greek ἀριθμός arithmos, 'number' and τική [τέχνη], tiké [téchne], 'art') is a branch of mathematics that consists of the study of numbers, especially the properties of the traditional operations on them—addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation and extraction of roots. Arithmetic is an elementary part of number theory, and number theory is considered to be one of the top-level divisions of modern mathematics, along with algebra, geometry, and analysis. The terms arithmetic and higher arithmetic were used until the beginning of the 20th century as synonyms for number theory, and are sometimes still used to refer to a wider part of number theory.Davenport, Harold, The Higher Arithmetic: An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers (7th ed.), Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1999, .

He also showed one could use the method of exhaustion to calculate the value of π with as much precision as desired, and obtained the most accurate value of π then known, . He also studied the spiral bearing his name, obtained formulas for the volumes of surfaces of revolution (paraboloid, ellipsoid, hyperboloid), and an ingenious method of exponentiation for expressing very large numbers. While he is also known for his contributions to physics and several advanced mechanical devices, Archimedes himself placed far greater value on the products of his thought and general mathematical principles. He regarded as his greatest achievement his finding of the surface area and volume of a sphere, which he obtained by proving these are 2/3 the surface area and volume of a cylinder circumscribing the sphere.

Sophus Lie was less than a year old when Hamilton first described quaternions, but Lie's name has become associated with all groups generated by exponentiation. The set of versors with their multiplication has been denoted Sl(1,q) by Robert Gilmore in his text on Lie theory.Robert Gilmore (1974) Lie Groups, Lie Algebras and some of their Applications, chapter 5: Some simple examples, pages 120–35, Wiley Gilmore denotes the real, complex, and quaternion division algebras by r, c, and q, rather than the more common R, C, and H. Sl(1,q) is the special linear group of one dimension over quaternions, the "special" indicating that all elements are of norm one. The group is isomorphic to SU(2,c), a special unitary group, a frequently used designation since quaternions and versors are sometimes considered anachronistic for group theory.

A Friedman number is an integer, which represented in a given numeral system, is the result of a non-trivial expression using all its own digits in combination with any of the four basic arithmetic operators (+, −, ×, ÷), additive inverses, parentheses, exponentiation, and concatenation. Here, non- trivial means that at least one operation besides concatenation is used. Leading zeros cannot be used, since that would also result in trivial Friedman numbers, such as 024 = 20 + 4. For example, 347 is a Friedman number in the decimal numeral system, since 347 = 73 \+ 4. The decimal Friedman numbers are: :25, 121, 125, 126, 127, 128, 153, 216, 289, 343, 347, 625, 688, 736, 1022, 1024, 1206, 1255, 1260, 1285, 1296, 1395, 1435, 1503, 1530, 1792, 1827, 2048, 2187, 2349, 2500, 2501, 2502, 2503, 2504, 2505, 2506, 2507, 2508, 2509, 2592, 2737, 2916, ... .

When students typed in a numeric answer to a question, they could use operators and variables and standard algebraic notation, and the program would use the TUTOR "compute" command to compile and run the formula and check that it was numerically equivalent (or within the floating point roundoff error) to the correct answer. The language included a pre-defined constant named with the Greek letter pi (π), with the appropriate value, which could be used in calculations. Thus, the expression `πr2` could be used to calculate the area of a circle, using the built-in π constant, implicit multiplication and exponentiation indicated by a superscript. In TUTOR, the floating-point comparison `x=y` was defined as being true if `x` and `y` were approximately equal (see page C5 of PLATO User's Memo, Number One by Avner, 1975).

The order of operations, which is used throughout mathematics, science, technology and many computer programming languages, is expressed here: # exponentiation and root extraction # multiplication and division # addition and subtraction This means that if, in a mathematical expression, a subexpression appears between two operators, the operator that is higher in the above list should be applied first. The commutative and associative laws of addition and multiplication allow adding terms in any order, and multiplying factors in any order—but mixed operations must obey the standard order of operations. In some contexts, it is helpful to replace a division by multiplication by the reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) and a subtraction by addition of the opposite (additive inverse). For example, in computer algebra, this allows one to handle fewer binary operations, and makes it easier to use commutativity and associativity when simplifying large expressions (for more, see ).

Kochanski multiplication is an algorithm that allows modular arithmetic (multiplication or operations based on it, such as exponentiation) to be performed efficiently when the modulus is large (typically several hundred bits). This has particular application in number theory and in cryptography: for example, in the RSA cryptosystem and Diffie–Hellman key exchange. The most common way of implementing large-integer multiplication in hardware is to express the multiplier in binary and enumerate its bits, one bit at a time, starting with the most significant bit, perform the following operations on an accumulator: #Double the contents of the accumulator (if the accumulator stores numbers in binary, as is usually the case, this is a simple "shift left" that requires no actual computation). #If the current bit of the multiplier is 1, add the multiplicand into the accumulator; if it is 0, do nothing.

Two further vulnerabilities were discovered in early 2006; the first being that scripted uses of GnuPG for signature verification may result in false positives, the second that non-MIME messages were vulnerable to the injection of data which while not covered by the digital signature, would be reported as being part of the signed message. In both cases updated versions of GnuPG were made available at the time of the announcement. In June 2017, a vulnerability (CVE-2017-7526) was discovered within Libgcrypt by Bernstein, Breitner and others: a library used by GnuPG, which enabled a full key recovery for RSA-1024 and about more than 1/8th of RSA-2048 keys. This side-channel attack exploits the fact that Libgcrypt used a sliding windows method for exponentiation which leads to the leakage of exponent bits and to full key recovery.

Considering even the simple case of exponentiation as a primitive recursive function, and that the composition of primitive recursive functions is primitive recursive, one can begin to see how quickly a primitive recursive function can grow. And any function that can be computed by a Turing machine in a running time bounded by a primitive recursive function is itself primitive recursive. So it is difficult to imagine a practical use for full μ-recursion where primitive recursion will not do, especially since the former can be simulated by the latter up to exceedingly long running times. And in any case, Kurt Gödel's first incompleteness theorem and the halting problem imply that there are while loops that always terminate but cannot be proven to do so; thus it is unavoidable that any requirement for a formal proof of termination must reduce the expressive power of a programming language.

If A can be written in this form, it is called diagonalizable. More generally, and applicable to all matrices, the Jordan decomposition transforms a matrix into Jordan normal form, that is to say matrices whose only nonzero entries are the eigenvalues λ to λ of A, placed on the main diagonal and possibly entries equal to one directly above the main diagonal, as shown at the right. Given the eigendecomposition, the n power of A (that is, n-fold iterated matrix multiplication) can be calculated via :A = (VDV) = VDV'VDV...VDV = VD'V and the power of a diagonal matrix can be calculated by taking the corresponding powers of the diagonal entries, which is much easier than doing the exponentiation for A instead. This can be used to compute the matrix exponential e, a need frequently arising in solving linear differential equations, matrix logarithms and square roots of matrices.

There are differences of opinion about the proper definition for the result of a numeric function that receives a quiet NaN as input. One view is that the NaN should propagate to the output of the function in all cases to propagate the indication of an error. Another view, and the one taken by the ISO C99 and IEEE 754-2008 standards in general, is that if the function has multiple arguments and the output is uniquely determined by all the non-NaN inputs (including infinity), then that value should be the result. Thus for example the value returned by and is +∞. The problem is particularly acute for the exponentiation function The expressions 00, ∞0 and 1∞ are considered indeterminate forms when they occur as limits (just like ∞ × 0), and the question of whether zero to the zero power should be defined as 1 has divided opinion.

In mathematics, in the field of tropical analysis, the log semiring is the semiring structure on the logarithmic scale, obtained by considering the extended real numbers as logarithms. That is, the operations of addition and multiplication are defined by conjugation: exponentiate the real numbers, obtaining a positive (or zero) number, add or multiply these numbers with the ordinary "linear" operations on real numbers, and then take the logarithm to reverse the initial exponentiation. As usual in tropical analysis, the operations are denoted by ⊕ and ⊗ to distinguish them from the usual addition + and multiplication × (or ⋅). These operations depend on the choice of base for the exponent and logarithm ( is a choice of logarithmic unit), which corresponds to a scale factor, and are well-defined for any positive base other than 1; using a base is equivalent to using a negative sign and using the inverse .

A polynomial expression is an expression built with scalars (elements of ), indeterminates, and the operators of addition, multiplication, and exponentiation to nonnegative integer powers. As all these operations are defined in K[X_1,\dots, X_n] a polynomial expression represents a polynomial, that is an element of K[X_1,\dots, X_n]. The definition of a polynomial as a linear combination of monomials is a particular polynomial expression, which is often called the canonical form, normal form, or expanded form of the polynomial. Given a polynomial expression, one can compute the expanded form of the represented polynomial by expanding with the distributive law all the products that have a sum among their factors, and then using commutativity (except for the product of two scalars), and associativity for transforming the terms of the resulting sum into products of a scalar and a monomial; then one gets the canonical form by regrouping the like terms.

Calculating an addition chain of minimal length is not easy; a generalized version of the problem, in which one must find a chain that simultaneously forms each of a sequence of values, is NP-complete.. A number of other papers state that finding a shortest addition chain for a single number is NP-complete, citing this paper, but it does not claim or prove such a result. There is no known algorithm which can calculate a minimal addition chain for a given number with any guarantees of reasonable timing or small memory usage. However, several techniques are known to calculate relatively short chains that are not always optimal.. One very well known technique to calculate relatively short addition chains is the binary method, similar to exponentiation by squaring. In this method, an addition chain for the number n is obtained recursively, from an addition chain for n'=\lfloor n/2\rfloor.

According to Henk Bos, :The Introduction is meant as a survey of concepts and methods in analysis and analytic geometry preliminary to the study of the differential and integral calculus. [Euler] made of this survey a masterly exercise in introducing as much as possible of analysis without using differentiation or integration. In particular, he introduced the elementary transcendental functions, the logarithm, the exponential function, the trigonometric functions and their inverses without recourse to integral calculus — which was no mean feat, as the logarithm was traditionally linked to the quadrature of the hyperbola and the trigonometric functions to the arc-length of the circle.H. J. M. Bos (1980) "Newton, Leibnitz and the Leibnizian tradition", chapter 2, pages 49–93, quote page 76, in From the Calculus to Set Theory, 1630 – 1910: An Introductory History, edited by Ivor Grattan-Guinness, Duckworth Euler accomplished this feat by introducing exponentiation ax for arbitrary constant a in the positive real numbers.

In a more concise (although more obscure) way: :\psi(\alpha) is the smallest ordinal which cannot be expressed from 0, 1, \omega and \Omega using sums, products, exponentials, and the \psi function itself (to previously constructed ordinals less than \alpha). Here is an attempt to explain the motivation for the definition of \psi in intuitive terms: since the usual operations of addition, multiplication and exponentiation are not sufficient to designate ordinals very far, we attempt to systematically create new names for ordinals by taking the first one which does not have a name yet, and whenever we run out of names, rather than invent them in an ad hoc fashion or using diagonal schemes, we seek them in the ordinals far beyond the ones we are constructing (beyond \Omega, that is); so we give names to uncountable ordinals and, since in the end the list of names is necessarily countable, \psi will “collapse” them to countable ordinals.

Archimedes of Syracuse (; , Arkhimḗdēs; ; ) was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. Although few details of his life are known, he is regarded as one of the leading scientists in classical antiquity. Considered to be the greatest mathematician of ancient history, and one of the greatest of all time, Archimedes anticipated modern calculus and analysis by applying concepts of infinitesimals and the method of exhaustion to derive and rigorously prove a range of geometrical theorems, including: the area of a circle; the surface area and volume of a sphere; area of an ellipse; the area under a parabola; the volume of a segment of a paraboloid of revolution; the volume of a segment of a hyperboloid of revolution; and the area of a spiral. His other mathematical achievements include deriving an accurate approximation of pi; defining and investigating the spiral that now bears his name; and creating a system using exponentiation for expressing very large numbers.

Suppose the hotel is next to an ocean, and an infinite number of car ferries arrive, each bearing an infinite number of coaches, each with an infinite number of passengers. This is a situation involving three "levels" of infinity, and it can be solved by extensions of any of the previous solutions. The prime factorization method can be applied by adding a new prime number for every additional layer of infinity ( 2^s 3^c 5^f, with f the ferry). The prime power solution can be applied with further exponentiation of prime numbers, resulting in very large room numbers even given small inputs. For example, the passenger in the second seat of the third bus on the second ferry (address 2-3-2) would raise the 2nd odd prime (5) to 49, which is the result of the 3rd odd prime (7) being raised to the power of his seat number (2).

The simplest method is the double-and-add method, similar to multiply-and-square in modular exponentiation. The algorithm works as follows: To compute dP, start with the binary representation for d: , where . There are two possible iterative algorithms. Iterative algorithm, index increasing: N ← P Q ← 0 for i from 0 to m do if di = 1 then Q ← point_add(Q, N) N ← point_double(N) return Q Iterative algorithm, index decreasing: Q ← 0 for i from m down to 0 do Q ← point_double(Q) if di = 1 then Q ← point_add(Q, P) return Q An alternative way of writing the above as a recursive function is f(P, d) is if d = 0 then return 0 # computation complete else if d = 1 then return P else if d mod 2 = 1 then return point_add(P, f(P, d - 1)) # addition when d is odd else return f(point_double(P), d/2) # doubling when d is even where f is the function for multiplying, P is the coordinate to multiply, d is the number of times to add the coordinate to itself.
