It has long been known that the class of connected nonbipartite graphs (with loops allowed) obeys unique prime factorization over the direct product of graphs. Moreover, it is known that prime factorization is not necessarily unique in the class of connected bipartite graphs. But any prime factorization of a connected bipartite graph has exactly one bipartite factor. Moreover, empirical evidenc...

Using a new factor chain argument, we show that 5 does not divide an odd perfect number indivisible by a sixth power. Applying sieve techniques, we also find an upper bound on the smallest prime divisor. Putting this together we prove that an odd perfect number must be divisible by the sixth power of a prime or its smallest prime factor lies in the range 108 < p < 101000. These results are gene...

Prime factor fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms have two important advantages: they can be simultaneously self-sorting and in-place, and they have a lower operation count than conventional FFT algorithms. The major disadvantage of the prime factor FFT has been that it was only applicable to a limited set of values of the transform length N. This paper presents a generalized prime factor FF...
