TLDR
It is shown that given any ϵ > 0 there exists c0 > 0 such that | L(u, v) − (12π −2 log 2) log v | log v) 1 2 +ϵ for all except at most x 2 exp {−c 0 ( log x) ϵ 2 } of the pairs u, v with 1 ≤ u ≤ v ≤ x.

Analytic Combinatorics

TL;DR: This text can be used as the basis for an advanced undergraduate or a graduate course on the subject, or for self-study, and is certain to become the definitive reference on the topic.

Euclidean algorithms are Gaussian

TL;DR: A central limit theorem is obtained for a general class of additive parameters (costs, observables) associated to three standard Euclidean algorithms, with optimal speed of convergence, and very precise asymptotic estimates and error terms for the mean and variance of such parameters are provided.

The euclidean algorithm in algebraic number fields

TL;DR: The authors survey what is known about Euclidean number fields from a number theoretical (and number geometrical) point of view and put some emphasis on the open problems in this field.

An upper bound on the average number of iterations of the LLL algorithm

TL;DR: An upper bound is established regarding the average number of iterations of the lattice reduction algorithm of Lenstra, Lenstra and Lovasz (the LLL algorithm), which is essentially independent of the length of the input vectors, so that, in any fixed dimension, the L LL algorithm turns out to be of complexity O(1) on average.

An Average-Case Analysis of the Gaussian Algorithm for Lattice Reduction

TL;DR: The Gaussian algorithm for lattice reduction in dimension 2 is analysed and it is found that, when applied to random inputs in a continuous model, the complexity is constant on average, its probability distribution decays geometrically, and the dynamics are characterized by a conditional invariant measure.
