QuarticCatFor min(ctz(x), ctz(y)), we can use ctz(x | y) to gain better performance. But what about max(ctz(x), ctz(y))? ctz represents "count trailing zeros". C++ Version (Compiler Explorer) #include <algorithm> #include <bit> #include <cstdint> int32_t test2(uint64_t x, uint64_t y) { return std::max...

Q: Question on the second homomorphism theorem.

DigerI'm not much familiar with this topic, but nontheless I have a problem understanding the context. Following this link Second Isomorphism Theorem, they state that $HN/N$ is a group under left coset multiplication. They then define the map $\phi(h)=hN$ (a map from $H$ to $HN/N$) where $N$ is a norm...
