<h4 class="subsection">15.1.7 Other Multiplication</h4>
<a name="index-Toom-multiplication-3"></a>
<p>The Toom algorithms described above (see <a href="Toom-3_002dWay-Multiplication.html#Toom-3_002dWay-Multiplication">Toom 3-Way Multiplication</a>,
see <a href="Toom-4_002dWay-Multiplication.html#Toom-4_002dWay-Multiplication">Toom 4-Way Multiplication</a>) generalizes to split into an arbitrary
number of pieces, as per Knuth section 4.3.3 algorithm C. This is not
currently used. The notes here are merely for interest.
</p>
<p>In general a split into <em>r+1</em> pieces is made, and evaluations and
pointwise multiplications done at <em>2*r+1</em> points. A 4-way split does 7
pointwise multiplies, 5-way does 9, etc. Asymptotically an <em>(r+1)</em>-way
algorithm is <em>O(N^(log(2*r+1)/log(r+1)))</em>. Only
the pointwise multiplications count towards big-<em>O</em> complexity, but the
time spent in the evaluate and interpolate stages grows with <em>r</em> and has
a significant practical impact, with the asymptotic advantage of each <em>r</em>
realized only at bigger and bigger sizes. The overheads grow as
<em>O(N*r)</em>, whereas in an <em>r=2^k</em> FFT they grow only as <em>O(N*log(r))</em>.
</p>
<p>Knuth algorithm C evaluates at points 0,1,2,&hellip;,<em>2*r</em>, but exercise 4
uses <em>-r</em>,&hellip;,0,&hellip;,<em>r</em> and the latter saves some small
multiplies in the evaluate stage (or rather trades them for additions), and
has a further saving of nearly half the interpolate steps. The idea is to
separate odd and even final coefficients and then perform algorithm C steps C7
and C8 on them separately. The divisors at step C7 become <em>j^2</em> and the
multipliers at C8 become <em>2*t*j-j^2</em>.
</p>
<p>Splitting odd and even parts through positive and negative points can be
thought of as using <em>-1</em> as a square root of unity. If a 4th root of
unity was available then a further split and speedup would be possible, but no
such root exists for plain integers. Going to complex integers with
<em>i=sqrt(-1)</em> doesn&rsquo;t help, essentially because in Cartesian
form it takes three real multiplies to do a complex multiply. The existence
of <em>2^k'</em>th roots of unity in a suitable ring or field lets the fast
Fourier transform keep splitting and get to <em>O(N*log(r))</em>.
</p>
<p>Floating point FFTs use complex numbers approximating Nth roots of unity.
Some processors have special support for such FFTs. But these are not used in
GMP since it&rsquo;s very difficult to guarantee an exact result (to some number of
bits). An occasional difference of 1 in the last bit might not matter to a
typical signal processing algorithm, but is of course of vital importance to
GMP.
