SUMMARY:Number Theory Seminar
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:WILLIAM VERREAULT\, UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO\n\nOn the minimal len
 gth of addition chains\n\nAn addition chain is a sequence of increasing nu
 mbers\, starting with 1\nand ending with n\, such that each number is the 
 sum of two previous\nones in the sequence. A challenging problem is\, give
 n a positive\ninteger n\, to find the minimal length of an addition chain 
 leading to\nn. I will present bounds on the distribution function of this 
 minimal\nlength\, which are sharp up to a small constant. This is joint wo
 rk\nwith Jean-Marie De Koninck and Nicolas Doyon.\n\nMC 2034
