      1 # PTIME

      3 [ptime_complete]

      5 When the input consists of integers, we distinguish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_complexity#Strongly_and_weakly_polynomial_time 
      6 - "strongly polynomial" which means
      7   - polynomial in the number of inputs
      8   - the memory used in polynomial in the size of the input
      9 - "weakly polynomial" meaning polynomial in the number of integers and in the log of integers, e.g., [euclidean_algorithm], not just polynomial in the number of integers
     10 - not to be confused with [pseudo_polynomial_time]!!
