: This appears to be a really hard problem. Most relevant page on the web so far: [[http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/achim/addition_chain.html]], and in particular the paper [[http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/achim/ac.ps.gz]]. I have doubts on the possibility of anyone implementing it on RC. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 15:59, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

::Computing optimal addition chains for a sequence of multiplications is harder than for a single multiplication. I believe I have an implementation for the simple case asked for here. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 16:39, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
