We use Experimental Mathematics and Symbolic Computation (with Maple), to search for lots and lots of Perrin- and Lucas- style primality tests, and try to sort the wheat from the chaff. More impressively, we find quite a few such primality…
This article extends the notion of a Frobenius power of an ideal in prime characteristic to allow arbitrary nonnegative real exponents. These generalized Frobenius powers are closely related to test ideals in prime characteristic, and…
We generalize the work of Erdos-Pomerance and Fiori-Shallue on counting Frobenius pseudoprimes from the cases of degree one and two respectively to arbitrary degree. More specifically we provide formulas for counting the number of false…
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 study new primality tests based on linear recurrent sequences of degree two exploiting a matricial approach. The classical Lucas test arises as a particular case and we see how it can be easily improved. Moreover, this approach shows…
We introduce a new class of pseudoprimes. In this work we characterize Midy pseudoprimes, give some of their properties and established interesting connections with other known pseudoprimes, in particular we show that every divisor of a…
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…
We present some new ideas on important problems related to primes. The topics of our discussion are: simple formulae for primes, twin primes, Sophie Germain primes, prime tuples less than or equal to a predefined number, and their…
The Baillie-PSW primality test combines Fermat and Lucas probable prime tests. It reports that a number is either composite or probably prime. No odd composite integer has been reported to pass this combination of primality tests if the…
This paper is meant as a contribution to the often debated subject of how to combine data which appear to be in mutual disagreement. As a practical example, the epsilon-prime/epsilon determinations have been considered.
We present a framework which allows a uniform approach to the recently introduced concept of pseudo-repetitions on words in the morphic case. This framework is at the same time more general and simpler. We introduce the concept of a…
This paper proves the existence of infinitely many Perrin pseudoprimes, as conjectured by Adams and Shanks in 1982. The theorem proven covers a general class of pseudoprimes based on recurrence sequences. The result uses ingredients of the…
The most developed aspect of the theory of finite semigroups is their classification in pseudovarieties. The main motivation for investigating such entities comes from their connection with the classification of regular languages via…
A class of determinants is introduced. Different kind of mathematical objects, such as Fibonacci, Lucas, Tchebychev, Hermite, Laguerre, Legendre polynomials, sums and covergents are represented as determinants from this class. A closed…
We consider several problems about pseudoprimes. First, we look at the issue of their distribution in residue classes. There is a literature on this topic in the case that the residue class is coprime to the modulus. Here we provide some…
At present one can not find a single counterexample to even a simplest version of Frobenius primality test. The assessment of probability of the mistake, presented in [I.B. Damgard and G.S.Frandsen, Journal of Cryptology, 2006] is strongly…
The calculation of many and large Perrin pseudoprimes is a challenge. This is mainly due to their rarity. Perrin pseudoprimes are one of the rarest known pseudoprimes. In order to calculate many such large numbers, one needs not only a fast…
Plausibility measures are structures for reasoning in the face of uncertainty that generalize probabilities, unifying them with weaker structures like possibility measures and comparative probability relations. So far, the theory of…
Theory testing in the physical sciences has been revolutionized in recent decades by Bayesian approaches to probability theory. Here, I will consider Bayesian approaches to theory extensions, that is, theories like inflation which aim to…
Assuming a $q$-variant of the prime $k$-tuple conjecture uniformly, we compute mixed moments of the number of primes in disjoint short intervals and progressions, respectively. This involves estimating the mean of singular series along…
