Monier and Rabin proved that an odd composite can pass the Strong Probable Prime Test for at most $\frac 14$ of the possible bases. In this paper, a probable prime test is developed using quadratic polynomials and the Frobenius…
The Frobenius primality test is based on the properties of the Frobenius automorphism of the quadratic extension of the residue field. Although it is probabilistic, we show that is "very rarely wrong". To date there are no counterexamples…
We compute the Frobenius complexity for the determinantal ring of prime characteristic $p$ obtained by modding out the $2 \times 2$ minors of an $m \times n$ matrix of indeterminates, where $m > n \ge 2$. We also show that, as $p \to…
In this expository paper we describe four primality tests. The first test is very efficient, but is only capable of proving that a given number is either composite or 'very probably' prime. The second test is a deterministic polynomial time…
In a 2006 paper, Damg{\aa}rd and Frandsen designed a faster version of the Quadratic Frobenius Test. This test assumes the Extended Riemann Hypothesis in order to find small nonresidues, which allow construction of quadratic extensions with…
This note investigates the prime values of the polynomial $f(t)=qt^2+a$ for any fixed pair of relatively prime integers $ a\geq 1$ and $ q\geq 1$ of opposite parity. For a large number $x\geq1$, an asymptotic result of the form $\sum_{n\leq…
In this paper we obtain lower and upper bounds on the average number of liars for the Quadratic Frobenius Pseudoprime Test of Grantham, generalizing arguments of Erd\H{o}s and Pomerance, and Monier. These bounds are provided for both Jacobi…
We consider the distance to the nearest integer of f(p), where f is a quadratic polynomial with irrational leading coefficient. This distance is very small as a function of p, for infinitely many primes p. We give a 14% improvement in the…
For three positive integers ai, aj, ak pairwise coprime, we present an algorithm that find the least multiple of ai that is a positive linear combination of aj, ak. The average running time of this algorithm is O(1). Using this algorithm…
A recent heuristic argument based on basic concepts in spectral analysis showed that the twin prime conjecture and a few other related primes counting problems are valid. A rigorous version of the spectral method, and a proof for the…
An integer $a$ is a quadratic nonresidue for a prime $p$ if $x^2 \equiv a \bmod p$ has no solution. Quadratic nonresidues may be found by probabilistic methods in polynomial time. However, without assuming the Generalized Riemann…
Suppose that m is a positive integer, not a perfect square. We present a formula solution to the 2-variable Frobenius problem in Z[\sqrt m] of the "first kind" ([3]).
It is shown in this paper that, if $R$ is a Frobenius ring, then the quaternion ring $\mathcal{H}_{a,b}(R)$ is a Frobenius ring for all units $a,b \in R$. In particular, if $q$ is an odd prime power then $\mathcal{H}_{a,b}(\mathbb{F}_q)$ is…
Let 0 < a < b be two relatively prime integers and let <a,b> be the numerical semigroup generated by a and b with Frobenius number g(a,b)=ab-a-b. In this note, we prove that there exists a prime number p in <a,b> with p < g(a,b) when the…
We study the Frobenius problem for certain k-tuplets, which include prime k-tuplets, in particular prime triplets and prime quadruplets. Moreover, we analyze some properties of the numerical semigroups associated with these tuplets.
Statistical distribution of the primes in an arithmetic progression is considered. The estimation of prime numbers is given and combinatorial methods are used to calculate the twin primes on the available interval. The distribution and…
This paper proposes to establish the distance between partial preference orderings based on two very different approaches. The first approach corresponds to the brute force method based on combinatorics. It generates all possible complete…
We obtain an essentially optimal estimate for the moment of order 32/3 of the exponential sum having argument $\alpha x^3+\beta x^2$. Subject to modest local solubility hypotheses, we thereby establish that pairs of diagonal Diophantine…
We show that, under mild conditions, the (normalized) Frobenius splitting numbers of a local ring of prime characteristic are lower semicontinuous.
Generalized Cullen Numbers are positive integers of the form $C_b(n):=nb^n+1$. In this work we generalize some known divisibility properties of Cullen Numbers and present two primality tests for this family of integers. The first test is…
