Sieve Of Atkin
In mathematics, the sieve of Atkin is a modern algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to a specified integer. Compared with the ancient sieve of Eratosthenes, which marks off multiples of primes, the sieve of Atkin does some preliminary work and then marks off multiples of ''squares'' of primes, thus achieving a better theoretical asymptotic complexity. It was created in 2003 by A. O. L. Atkin and Daniel J. Bernstein.A.O.L. Atkin, D.J. Bernstein''Prime sieves using binary quadratic forms'' Math. Comp. 73 (2004), 1023-103/ref> Algorithm In the algorithm: *All remainders are Modulo operation, modulo-sixty remainders (divide the number by 60 and return the remainder). * All numbers, including and , are positive integers. * Flipping an entry in the sieve list means to change the marking (prime or nonprime) to the opposite marking. * This results in numbers with an odd number of solutions to the corresponding equation being potentially prime (prime if they are also square fre ...
