Problem 813: XOR Power

Mathematical Analysis

GF(2) Polynomial Arithmetic

Every non-negative integer $n$ can be identified with a polynomial $n(x) \in \mathrm{GF}(2)[x]$ via its binary expansion:

XOR-addition corresponds to polynomial addition in $\mathrm{GF}(2)[x]$ (which is just XOR of integers). XOR-multiplication $n \otimes m$ corresponds to polynomial multiplication in $\mathrm{GF}(2)[x]$.

Key Properties

Lemma 1 (Freshman’s Dream). In $\mathrm{GF}(2)[x]$, we have $(f(x))^{2^k} = f(x^{2^k})$ for any polynomial $f$.

Proof. In characteristic 2, $(a+b)^2 = a^2 + b^2$. Applying inductively: $(a+b)^{2^k} = a^{2^k} + b^{2^k}$. For $f = \sum_i a_i x^i$, $f^{2^k} = \sum_i a_i^{2^k} x^{i \cdot 2^k} = \sum_i a_i x^{i \cdot 2^k} = f(x^{2^k})$ since $a_i \in \{0,1\}$ and $a_i^{2^k} = a_i$. $\square$

Corollary. To compute $n^{\otimes n} \bmod m(x)$, use repeated squaring in $\mathrm{GF}(2)[x] / (m(x))$. Each squaring just substitutes $x \to x^2$ and reduces modulo $m(x)$.

Modular Polynomial

The modulus $n^{\otimes 2} \oplus n \oplus 1$ is the polynomial $n(x)^2 + n(x) + 1$ over $\mathrm{GF}(2)$. Note that by Freshman’s Dream, $n(x)^2 = n(x^2)$, so the modulus is $n(x^2) + n(x) + 1$.

Concrete Examples

For $n=2$: $n^{\otimes n} = 2^{\otimes 2} = x^2 = 4$. Modulus = $x^2 + x + 1 = 7$. $4 \bmod 7$ in $\mathrm{GF}(2)[x]$: $x^2 = 1 \cdot (x^2 + x + 1) + (x + 1)$, so $P(2) = x + 1 = 3$.

Algorithm: Repeated Squaring in GF(2)[x]

To compute $n^{\otimes e} \bmod m(x)$:

1. Represent $n$ and $m$ as integers (binary = polynomial coefficients).
2. Multiply two polynomials $a \otimes b$: schoolbook multiplication but with XOR instead of addition.
3. Reduce modulo $m$: polynomial long division using XOR.
4. Exponentiate using binary exponentiation on $e$.

function xor_mul_mod(a, b, m):
    result = 0
    while b > 0:
        if b & 1: result ^= a
        a <<= 1
        if deg(a) >= deg(m): a ^= m
        b >>= 1
    return result

This runs in $O((\log n)^2 \cdot \log e)$ per value of $n$.

Proof of Correctness

Theorem. The polynomial ring $\mathrm{GF}(2)[x]$ is a Euclidean domain with the degree function as norm. Division with remainder is well-defined and unique.

Proof. Standard: given $f, g \ne 0$ with $\deg f \ge \deg g$, subtract $x^{\deg f - \deg g} \cdot g$ from $f$ (using XOR) to reduce the degree. Iterate until $\deg(\text{remainder}) < \deg g$. $\square$

Theorem (Correctness of repeated squaring). Binary exponentiation correctly computes $n^{\otimes e} \bmod m$ because $\mathrm{GF}(2)[x]/(m)$ is a ring and multiplication is associative.

Complexity Analysis

• Per $n$: $O(B^2 \log n)$ where $B = \deg(m) = 2 \deg(n) \approx 2 \log_2 n$.
• Total for $N$ values: $O(N \log^3 N)$.
