On the distribution of the minimal length of addition chains

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: A sequence of integers $1=a_0m^{0.9}$. Moreover, denoting by $G(m,r)$ the number of \emph{distinct} addition chains of length $m+r$ leading to an integer $n\in [2^m, 2^{m+1})$, we show that there exist positive constants $K_3$ and $K_4$ such that $$ K_3^r \left(\frac{m^2}{r}\right)^r\le G\left(m,r\right)\le K_4^r \left(\frac{m^2}{r} \right)^r $$ provided $m^{0.9}
