Reference for Levin's optimal factoring algorithm ?

Here is a quote from lectures notes given by Blum on SECURITY and CRYPTOGRAPHY: Leonid LEVIN's OPTIMAL NUMBER-SPLITTING (FACTORING) ALGORITHM. … Here is Levin's optimal factoring algorithm: The OPTIMAL-SPLIT ALGORITHM: BEGIN Enumerate all algorithms in order of size, lexicographically within each size. …

An NP-complete variant of factoring.

This is an informal efficient deterministic reduction idea (and may be incomplete): Fractran is a Turing-complete programming language. A suitably defined bounded-version of Fractran programs should …

What NP-complete problems are most similar to integer factoring?

The textbook of Computational Complexity: Modern Approach, by Arora and Barak gives such example: They define the decision problem Integer Factoring on input of three positive integers, $\text{Integer … Factoring} = \{\langle L, U, N \rangle \;|\; (\exists \text{ a prime } p \in \{L, \ldots, U\})[p | N]\}$. …
