A New Class of Digital Division Methods

Abstract: This paper describes a class of division methods best suited for use in digital computers with facilities for floating point arithmetic. The division methods may be contrasted with conventional division procedures by considering the nature of each quotient digit as generated during the division process. In restoring division, each quotient digit has one of the values 0,1, . . . , r ?1, for an arbitrary integer radix r. In nonrestoring division, each quotient digit has one of the values ?(r?1),. . ., ?1, +1, . . ., +(r?1). For the division methods described here, each quotient digit has one of the values ?n, ?(n?1), . . ., ?1, 0, 1, . . . n?1, n, where n is an integer such that ?(r ?1)?n?r?1. A method for serial conversion of the quotient digits to conventional (restoring) form is given. Examples of new division procedures for radix 4 and radix 10 are given.

The division algorithm and the hilbert scheme

Abstract: In this thesis, a division algorithm is studied, following work of Macaulay, Hironaka, Buchberger, and others, which generalizes row reduction and the euclidean algorithm, in the same way that elimination theory generalizes the determinant and the resultant. The main result is a cohomological interpretation of the complexity of this algorithm, for a fixed number of variables. This follows from a new result on the vanishing of coherent sheaf cohomology, which generalizes previous work by Gotzmann, and Macaulay. The Hilbert scheme offers a setting in which results about this algorithm can be understood; this relationship is described. The theory of the division algorithm is related to the problem of manipulating objects in algebraic geometry by computer. The problem of computing coherent sheaf cohomology is considered, as a guiding example. Finally, explicit equations are given for the Hilbert scheme.

Higher-Radix Division Using Estimates of the Divisor and Partial Remainders

Abstract: —The nature of a class of division techniques which permit the selection of quotient digits in digital division by the inspection of truncated versions of the divisor and partial remainder is reviewed in detail. Two types of mechanisms, or so-called model divisions, for the selection of quotient digits are introduced. For both types of techniques, analytic tools are suggested for determining the number of bits which must be inspected as a function of the radix and form of representation of quotient digits. The analysis accounts for the representation of the partial remainder in a redundant form such as the one produced by an adder-subtractor which eliminates carry-borrow propagation.
