G'day all.

I wrote:

However, this is still an O(log n) algorithm, because that's the
complexity of raising-to-the-power-of.  And it's slower than the
simpler integer-only algorithms.

Quoting Henning Thielemann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

You mean computing the matrix power of

/1 1\
\0 1/

?

I mean all of the most efficient ones.  The Gosper-Salamin algorithm
is the matrix power algorithm in disguise, more or less.

Cheers,
Andrew Bromage
