Randomized Algorithm Theory

Randomized algorithms use random bits to make choices that simplify design, avoid worst cases, and often speed up computation.

Primitive Roots

A primitive root modulo n is a number g that cycles through all units modulo n when you repeatedly multiply by g, so its multiplicative order equals \(\varphi(n)\).

Pollard's Rho Factorization

Pollard's Rho is a randomized algorithm that finds a non-trivial factor of a composite integer by walking a pseudorandom sequence modulo n and extracting a factor with a gcd.

Randomized Algorithms

Randomized algorithms use coin flips (random bits) to guide choices, often making code simpler and fast on average.
