Leveraging Lévy Flight for Efficient Divisor Identification in Odd Composite Integers
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In accordance with the distribution law of composite integers possessing a divisor of the odd semi-prime N = pq with 2 < p < q, and considering the characteristics of Lévy flight (LF), this paper presents an innovative approach that integrates LF with specific local search techniques (LS) to identify a divisor of N. This method exhibits minimal space complexity and, in theory, achieves logarithmic time complexity in optimal scenarios. A comprehensive framework for the approach is outlined, alongside the introduction of a simple-random-walk-blended LF (SRW-blended LF) algorithm. Key issues pertinent to the implementation of the algorithm are thoroughly analyzed and elucidated. Experiments conducted to factorize semi-primes demonstrate that the newly developed approach, implemented using Matlab software, yields highly satisfactory results.
