45 | /* --- How the algorithm works --- * |
46 | * |
47 | * Multiplication on large integers is least wasteful when the numbers |
48 | * multiplied are approximately the same size. When a new multiplier is |
49 | * added to the system, we push it onto a stack. Then we `reduce' the stack: |
50 | * while the value on the top of the stack is not shorter than the value |
51 | * below it, replace the top two elements by their product. |
52 | * |
53 | * Let %$b$% be the radix of our multiprecision integers, and let %$Z$% be |
54 | * the maximum number of digits. Then the largest integer we can represent |
55 | * is %$M - 1 = b^Z - 1$%. We could assume that all of the integers we're |
56 | * given are about the same size. This would give us the same upper bound as |
57 | * that derived in `mptext.c'. |
58 | * |
59 | * However, we're in less control over our inputs. In particular, if a |
60 | * sequence of integers with strictly decreasing lengths is input then we're |
61 | * sunk. Suppose that the stack contains, from top to bottom, %$b^i$%, |
62 | * %$b^{i+1}$%, ..., %$b^n$%. The final product will therefore be |
63 | * %$p = b^{(n+i)(n-i+1)/2}$%. We must now find the maximum stack depth |
64 | * %$d = n - i$% such that %$p > M$%. |
65 | * |
66 | * Taking logs of both sides gives that %$(d + 2 i)(d + 1) > 2 Z$%. We can |
67 | * maximize %$d$% by taking %$i = 0$%, which gives that %$d^2 + d > 2 Z$%, so |
68 | * %$d$% must be approximately %$(\sqrt{8 Z + 1} - 1)/2$%, which is |
69 | * uncomfortably large. |
70 | * |
71 | * We compromise by choosing double the `mptext' bound and imposing high- and |
72 | * low-water marks for forced reduction. |
