In this paper, we analyze several variants of a simple method for generating prime numbers with fewer random bits. To generate a prime $p$ less than $x$, the basic idea is to fix a constant $q\propto x^{1-\varepsilon}$, pick a uniformly…

We study values of k for which the interval (kn,(k+1)n) contains a prime for every n>1. We prove that the list of such integers k includes k=1,2,3,5,9,14, and no others, at least for k<=50,000,000. For every known k of this list, we give a…

It is shown that the first $n$ prime numbers $p_1,...,p_n$ determine the next one by the recursion equation $$ p_{n+1} =\lim\limits_{s\to +\infty} [\prod\limits^n_{k=1} (1-\frac{1}{p^s_k}) \sum\limits^\infty_{j=1} \frac{1}{j^s} -1]^{-1/s}.…

In [4] we describe a variation of the classical permutation decoding algorithm that can be applied to any binary affine-invariant code; in particular, it can be applied to first-order Reed-Muller codes successfully. In this paper we study…
