  1. Pseudoprime

    A pseudoprime is a probable prime an integer that shares a property common to all prime number s that is not actually prime. Pseudoprimes are classified according to which property of primes they satisfy. Pseudoprimes are of primary importance in public key cryptography , which makes use of the difficulty of factoring large numbers into their prime factors. Carl Pomerance estimated in 1988 that it would cost 10 million to factor a number with 144 digits, and 100 billion to factor a 200 digit number. ref cite book first Calvin C. last Clawson title Mathematical Mysteries The Beauty and Magic of Numbers location Cambridge publisher Perseus year 1996 page 195 isbn 0738202592 ref However, finding and factoring the proper prime numbers for this use is correspondingly expensive, so various probabilistic primality test s are used to find primes amongst large numbers, some of which in rare cases incorrectly identify composite number s as primes. On the other hand, deterministic primality tests, such as the AKS primality test , work well on all numbers, so there are no pseudoprimes with respect to them. Fermat pseudoprimes main Fermat pseudoprime Fermat s little theorem states that if p is prime and a is coprime to p , then a sup p 1 sup     1 is Divisor divisible by p . If a composite integer x is coprime to an integer a 1 and x divides a sup x 1 sup     1, then x is called a Fermat pseudoprime to base a . Some sources use variations of this definition, for example to only allow odd numbers to be pseudoprimes. ref MathWorld title Fermat Pseudoprime urlname FermatPseudoprime ref An integer x that is a Fermat pseudoprime to all values of a that are coprime to x is called a Carmichael number .

  1. Strong pseudoprime

    In number theory , a strong pseudoprime is a composite number that passes a primality test. All primes pass this test, but a small fraction of composites pass as well, making them pseudoprime false primes . Unlike the Fermat pseudoprime s, for which there exist numbers that are pseudoprimes to all coprime bases the Carmichael numbers , there are no composites that are strong pseudoprimes to all bases. Formal definition Formally, a composite number n d 2 sup s sup 1 with d being odd is called a strong pseudoprime to a relatively prime base a when one of the following conditions hold math a d equiv 1 mod n math math a d cdot 2 r equiv 1 mod n quad mbox for some 0 leq r leq s 1 math The definition of a strong pseudoprime depends on the base used different bases have different strong pseudoprimes. The definition is trivially met if math var a var 1 mod var n var so these base choices are often excluded. Richard K. Guy Guy mistakenly gives a definition with only the first condition, which is not satisfied by all primes. ref Richard K. Guy Guy , Pseudoprimes. Euler Pseudoprimes. Strong Pseudoprimes.

  1. Euler pseudoprime

    In arithmetic , an Odd number odd composite number composite integer n is called an Euler pseudoprime to base a , if a and n are coprime , and math a n 1 2 equiv pm 1 pmod n math where mod refers to the modular arithmetic modulo operation . The motivation for this definition is the fact that all prime number s p satisfy the above equation which can be deduced from Fermat s little theorem . Fermat s theorem asserts that if p is prime, and coprime to a , then a sup p &minus 1 sup 1 mod p . Suppose that p 2 is prime, then p can be expressed as 2 q     1 where q is an integer. Thus a sup 2 q 1   &minus   1 sup 1 mod  p which means that a sup 2 q sup   &minus   1 0 mod p . This can be factored as a sup q sup   &minus   1 a sup q sup 1 0 mod p which is equivalent to a sup p &minus 1 2 sup 1 mod  p . The equation can be tested rather quickly, which can be used for probabilistic prime testing primality testing . These tests are twice as strong as tests based on Fermat s little theorem. Every Euler pseudoprime is also a Fermat pseudoprime . It is not possible to produce a definite test of primality based on whether a number is an Euler pseudoprime because there exist absolute Euler pseudoprimes , numbers which are Euler pseudoprimes to every base relatively prime to themselves. The absolute Euler pseudoprimes are a subset of the absolute Fermat pseudoprimes, or Carmichael number s, and the smallest absolute Euler pseudoprime is 1729 number 1729 7× 13× 19. The stronger condition that a sup n &minus 1 2 sup a n mod n , where a , n 1 and a n is the Jacobi symbol , is sometimes used for a definition of an Euler pseudoprime.

  1. Integer sequence

    In mathematics , an integer sequence is a sequence i.e., an ordered list of integer s. An integer sequence may be specified explicitly by giving a formula for its n th term, or implicitly by giving a relationship between its terms. For example, the sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13,  the Fibonacci numbers Fibonacci sequence is formed by starting with 0 and 1 and then adding any two consecutive terms to obtain the next one an implicit description. The sequence 0, 3, 8, 15,  is formed according to the formula n sup 2 sup   &minus   1 for the n th term an explicit definition. Alternatively, an integer sequence may be defined by a property which members of the sequence possess and other integers do not possess. For example, we can determine whether a given integer is a perfect number , even though we do not have a formula for the n th perfect number. Examples Integer sequences which have received their own name include div class style moz column count 3 column count 3 Abundant number s Baum Sweet sequence Bell number s Binomial coefficient s Carmichael number s Catalan number s Composite number s Deficient number s Euler number s Even and odd numbers Factorial numbers Fibonacci number s Fibonacci word Figurate numbers Golomb sequence Happy number s Highly totient number s Highly composite number s Home prime s Hyperperfect number s Juggler sequence Kolakoski sequence Lucky number s Lucas number s Padovan sequence Padovan number s Partition number s Perfect number s Pseudoperfect number s Prime number s Pseudoprime numbers Regular paperfolding sequence Rudin Shapiro sequence Semiperfect number s Semiprime numbers Superperfect number s Thue Morse sequence Ulam numbers Weird number s div Computable and definable sequences An integer sequence is a Recursion theory computable sequence , if there exists an algorithm which given n , calculates a sub n sub , for all n > 0.

  1. Chinese hypothesis

    In number theory , the Chinese hypothesis is a disproven conjecture stating that an integer n is Prime number prime if and only if it satisfies the condition that 2 sup n sup &minus 2 is divisible by n . In other words, that integer n is prime if and only if math 2 n equiv 2 pmod n , math . It is true that if n is prime, then math 2 n equiv 2 pmod n , math this is a special case of Fermat s little theorem . However, the converse if math ,2 n equiv 2 pmod n math then n is prime is false, and therefore the hypothesis as a whole is false. The smallest counter example is n 341 11 31. Composite number s n for which 2 sup n sup &minus 2 is divisible by n are called Poulet number s. They are a special class of Fermat pseudoprime s. History The Chinese hypothesis is commonly attributed to Chinese mathematics Chinese scholars more than 2500 years ago. However, this oft quoted attribution is a myth originating with James Jeans 1898 , who wrote that a paper found among those of the late Sir Thomas Wade and dating from the time of Confucius contained the theorem . This assertion was refuted by Needham, who attributes the misunderstanding to an incorrect translation of a passage in a well known book The Nine Chapters of Mathematical Art . Qi 1991 attributed the hypothesis to Chinese mathematician Li Shanlan 1811 1882 , communicated the statement to his collaborator in the translation of Western texts, and the collaborator then published it. Li subsequently learned that the statement was wrong, and hence did not publish it himself, but Hua Heng Fang published the statement as if it were correct in 1882.

  1. Fermat primality test

    The Fermat primality test is a randomized algorithm probabilistic test to determine if a number is probable prime . Concept Fermat s little theorem states that if p is prime and math 1 le a p math , then math a p 1 equiv 1 pmod p . math If we want to test if p is prime, then we can pick random a s in the interval and see if the equality holds. If the equality does not hold for a value of a , then p is composite. If the equality does hold for many values of a , then we can say that p is probable prime . It might be in our tests that we do not pick any value for a such that the equality fails. Any a such that math a n 1 equiv 1 pmod n math when n is composite is known as a Fermat liar . Vice versa, in this case n is called Fermat pseudoprime to base a . If we do pick an a such that math a n 1 not equiv 1 pmod n math then a is known as a Fermat witness for the compositeness of n . Example Suppose we wish to determine if n     221 is prime. Randomly pick 1 a 221, say a     38. Check the above equality math a n 1 38 220 equiv 1 pmod 221 . math Either 221 is prime, or 38 is a Fermat liar, so we take another a , say 26 math a n 1 26 220 equiv 169 not equiv 1 pmod 221 . math So 221 is composite and 38 was indeed a Fermat liar. Algorithm and running time The algorithm can be written as follows Inputs n a value to test for primality k a parameter that determines the number of times to test for primality Output composite if n is composite, otherwise probably prime repeat k times pick a randomly in the range 1, n &minus 1 if math a n 1 not equiv1 pmod n math , then return composite return probably prime Using fast algorithms for modular exponentiation , the running time of this algorithm is Big O notation O k log sup 2 sup n log log n log log log n , where k is the number of times we test a random a , and n is the value we want to test for primality.
