Let N > 2 and 8 > 0. For uniformly distributed integers in the interval I-1, N], the Euclidean algorithm requires an average of 121n2( 1 divisions, where C is Porter's constant.

We study approximation results for the Euclidean bipartite traveling salesman problem (TSP). We present the first worstcase examples, proving that the approximation guarantees of two known polynomial-time algorithms are tight. Moreover, we propose a new algorithm which displays a superior average ca
Euclid's algorithm for computing the greatest common divisor of 2 numbers is considered to be the oldest proper algorithm known ([10]). This algorithm can be amplified naturally in various ways. The GCD problem for more than two numbers is interesting in its own right. Thus, we can use Euclid's algo
