Definitionbalance-def#

The balance of a factorization \(a_1 \dots a_t\) at a prime \(p\) is defined as the number of times \(p\) divides \(a_1 \dots a_t\), minus the number of times \(p\) divides \(n!\).

If a factorization has zero total imbalance, then it exactly factors \(n!\).

Lemmawaste-eq#

The waste of a factorization is equal to \(t \log n - \log n!\), where \(t\) is the number of elements.

Definitionscore-def#

The score of a factorization (relative to a cutoff parameter \(L\)) is equal to its waste, plus \(\log p\) for every surplus prime \(p\), \(\log (n/p)\) for every deficit prime above \(L\), \(\log L\) for every deficit prime below \(L\) and an additional \(\log n\) if one is not in total balance.

Lemmascore-eq#

If one is in total balance, then the score is equal to the waste.

Lemmascore-lower-1#

If there is a prime \(p\) in surplus, one can remove it without increasing the score.

Proof

Locate a factor \(a_i\) that contains the surplus prime \(p\), then replace \(a_i\) with \(a_i/p\).

Lemmascore-lower-2#

If there is a prime \(p\) in deficit larger than \(L\), one can remove it without increasing the score.

Proof

Add an additional factor of \(p\) to the factorization.

Lemmascore-lower-3#

If there is a prime \(p\) in deficit less than \(L\), one can remove it without increasing the score.

Proof

Without loss of generality we may assume that one is not in the previous two situations, i.e., wlog there are no surplus primes and all primes in deficit are at most \(L\). If all deficit primes multiply to \(n\) or less, add that product to the factorization (this increases the waste by at most \(\log n\), but we save a \(\log n\) from now being in balance). Otherwise, greedily multiply all primes together while staying below \(n\) until one cannot do so any further; add this product to the factorization, increasing the waste by at most \(\log L\).

Lemmascore-lowest#

One can bring any factorization into balance without increasing the score.

Proof

Propositioncard-bound#

Starting from any factorization \(f\), one can find a factorization \(f'\) in balance whose cardinality is at most \(\log n!\) plus the score of \(f\), divided by \(\log n\).

Proof

Definitioninitial-factorization-def#

We perform an initial factorization by taking the natural numbers between \(n-n/M\) (inclusive) and \(n\) (exclusive) repeated \(M\) times, deleting those elements that are not \(n/L\)-smooth (i.e., have a prime factor greater than or equal to \(n/L\)).

A medium prime \(\sqrt{n} < p ≤ n/L\) can be in deficit by at most \(M\).

Proof

The number of times \(p\) divides \(a_1 \dots a_t\) is at least \(M \lfloor n/Mp \rfloor ≥ n/p - M\) (note that the removal of the non-smooth numbers does not remove any multiples of \(p\)). Meanwhile, the number of times \(p\) divides \(n!\) is at most \(n/p\).
