Abstract

The unit cost model is both convenient and largely realistic for describing integer decision algorithms over + ,×. Additional operations like division with remainder or bitwise conjunction, although equally supported by computing hardware, may lead to a considerable drop in complexity. We show a variety of concrete problems to benefit from such non-arithmetic primitives by presenting and analyzing corresponding fast algorithms.
