A new preconditioner for symmetric positive definite systems is proposed, analyzed, and tested. The preconditioner, compressed incomplete modified Gram–Schmidt (CIMGS), is based on an incomplete orthogonal factorization. CIMGS is robust both theoretically and empirically, existing (in exact arithmetic) for any full rank matrix. Numerically it is more robust than an incomplete Cholesky factoriza...

Though integer factorization and discrete logarithm problem are both practically and theoretically important, the computational complexity of these problems remained unknown. By comparing integer factorization problem with a problem in P and NP-complete problems, I show that the decision problem version of integer factorization problem is neither in P nor NP-complete. In addition, integer facto...

let $r$ be a commutative ring with identity. let $g(r)$ denote the maximal graph associated to $r$, i.e., $g(r)$ is a graph with vertices as the elements of $r$, where two distinct vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if and only if there is a maximal ideal of $r$ containing both. let $gamma(r)$ denote the restriction of $g(r)$ to non-unit elements of $r$. in this paper we study the various graphi...

In this article the notions of semi weak orthogonality and semi weak factorization structure in a category $mathcal X$ are introduced. Then the relationship between semi weak factorization structures and quasi right (left) and weak factorization structures is given. The main result is a characterization of semi weak orthogonality, factorization of morphisms, and semi weak factorization structur...
