Arithmetic Derivatives (once again)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Kainui I think we can calculate it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Fundamental theorem of arithmetic: \[\Large n = \prod_{p|n}p^k \]We will let: \[\Large \eta= \prod_{p|n}p^{k-1} \ \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Finally we will let \[ \Large \lambda = \frac{n}{\eta} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For example's sake:\[ n =4804625 = 5^3\cdot 7\cdot 17^2\cdot 19 \]In this case: \[ \eta = 5^{3-1}\cdot 7^{1-0}\cdot 17^{2-1}\cdot 19^{1-1} = 5^2\cdot 17 \]Where as: \[ \lambda =5\times 7\times 17\times 19 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, we can gives the primes an index \(i\), such that the \(i\)th prime \(p_i\) corresponds to its exponent \(k_i\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The power rule for the arithmetic derivative gives us:\[ n' = \sum_{i} k_i\frac{n}{p_i} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since \[ n = \lambda \eta \]We can say: \[ n' =n\sum_i\frac{k_i}{p_i} = \eta\left(\sum_i\frac{k_i\lambda}{p_i}\right) = \eta u \]I'm going to say that \[ u=\left(\sum_i\frac{k_i\lambda}{p_i}\right) \]So that everything is accounted for.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember that: \[ \eta \leq \gcd(n,n')\leq n \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now here is what I think can make this doable. We don't need to worry about primes such that: \[\sqrt{5\times 10^{15}}\leq p\leq 5\times 10^{15} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The reason I think this is because for the prime to affect the \(\gcd(n,n')\), it will either need to be to the power of \(2\), or it will need to divide \(u\) suth that \(u\) increases its power.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We'll have to calculate each \(u\) anyway, so when we do we can just test whether it is a prime or not.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ 5\times 10^{7.5} \]Is much less to deal with.

OpenStudy (kainui):

Ok this seems pretty reasonable, I like this. I don't really have time to play around with this now, but during the day I thought up some possible things to explore along with this that might cut our time down.
