Abstract

We present new algorithms for computing the low n bits or the high n bits of the product of two n-bit integers. We show that these problems may be solved in asymptotically 75% of the time required to compute the full 2n-bit product, assuming that the underlying integer multiplication algorithm relies on computing cyclic convolutions of real sequences.
