I need to swap two integers using only integer addition and multiplication gates. I can't subtract them. I'm dealing with a sorting network, so I need to compare and swap. The compare and swap operation swaps only if the integers being compared are in wrong order. I've to implement this operation using just integer addition and multiplication as the atomic operations. I've figured out the comparing bit, but I need to efficiently swap integers. Is there an efficient solution (minimum multiplication gates) to this problem?

P.S: I have integers in the form of binary vectors, but I can't apply mod 2 operations on them. I can only use integer addition and multiplication.
