Abstract
In 1977, Hugh Williams studied Lucas pseudoprimes to all Lucas sequences of a fixed discriminant. These are composite numbers analogous to Carmichael numbers and they satisfy a Korselt-like criterion: must be a product of distinct primes and where is a Legendre symbol with the first argument being the discriminant of the Lucas sequence. Motivated by tabulation algorithms for Carmichael numbers, we give algorithms to tabulate these numbers and provide some asymptotic analysis of the algorithms. We show that there are only finitely many absolute Lucas pseudoprimes with a given set of prime factors. We also provide the first known tabulation for discriminant .
