Semi-primitive roots and irreducible quadratic forms

Modulo a prime number, we define semi-primitive roots as the square of primitive roots. We present a method for calculating primitive roots from quadratic residues, including semi-primitive roots. We then present progressions that generate primitive and semi-primitive roots, and deduce an algorithm to obtain the full set of primitive roots without any GCD calculation. Next, we present a method for determining irreducible quadratic forms with arbitrarily large conjectured asymptotic density of primes (after Shanks, [1][2]). To this end, we propose an algorithm for calculating the square root modulo p, based on the Tonelli-Shanks algorithm [4].
