Synopsis
#include <flint/fmpz_factor.h>int fmpz_factor_pollard_brent_single(fmpz_t p_factor, fmpz_t n_in, fmpz_t yi, fmpz_t ai, ulong max_iters)sourceOne attempt of fmpz_factor_pollard_brent with the polynomial x^2 + a and the starting point y given by ai and yi (with 1 \le a \le n - 3 and 1 \le y < n). Returns the number of limbs of the factor found, or 0.
