Mark Dickinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: There's also the recursive division algorithm due to Burnikel and Ziegler; this might be worth a look. I think it's the same asymptotic complexity (constant times karatsuba multiplication complexity), but may turn out to be faster for one reason or another.
I had a Python implementation of this somewhere; I'll see if I can dig it out. Assigning this to me so that it doesn't get lost or forgotten; but note that I don't intend to do anything about it before 2.6/3.0 final. If anyone else wants to take it off my hands before then, feel free. ---------- assignee: -> marketdickinson priority: -> normal type: -> performance versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3451> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
