The proposal in brief

Title of the collaboration(in english and french)) :Algorithms, Numbers, Computers (Algorithmes, Nombres, Ordinateurs)

Description : We propose to join the research efforts of the Computational Mathematics group at ANU (Australian National University, Canberra, Australia) with those of the CACAO team from the ``Centre de Recherche INRIA Nancy-Grand Est'' (Nancy, France) into an INRIA associate team called ANC (Algorithms, Numbers, Computers). We wish to extend in such a way a long-term and successful cooperation between Richard Brent and Paul Zimmermann to all members of both teams, in particular young researchers. The support of the ANC associate team will allow to reinforce that cooperation, especially in the following common scientific projects: Smooth Triangular Numbers (Størmer's Problem), Efficient Finite-Field Arithmetic, Fast evaluation of trigonometric functions, and Modern Computer Arithmetic.
