Two contradictory conjectures concerning Carmichael numbers
Erdős conjectured that there are x1−o(1) Carmichael numbers up to x, whereas Shanks was skeptical as to whether one might even find an x up to which there are more than √ x Carmichael numbers. Alford, Granville and Pomerance showed that there are more than x2/7 Carmichael numbers up to x, and gave arguments which even convinced Shanks (in person-to-person discussions) that Erdős must be correct...
متن کاملGeneralised Mersenne Numbers Revisited
Generalised Mersenne Numbers (GMNs) were defined by Solinas in 1999 and feature in the NIST (FIPS 186-2) and SECG standards for use in elliptic curve cryptography. Their form is such that modular reduction is extremely efficient, thus making them an attractive choice for modular multiplication implementation. However, the issue of residue multiplication efficiency seems to have been overlooked....
متن کاملMersenne and Fermat Numbers
The first seventeen even perfect numbers are therefore obtained by substituting these values of ra in the expression 2n_1(2n —1). The first twelve of the Mersenne primes have been known since 1914; the twelfth, 2127 —1, was indeed found by Lucas as early as 1876, and for the next seventy-five years was the largest known prime. More details on the history of the Mersenne numbers may be found in ...
متن کاملConjectures concerning Schizophrenia
Editorial note: This chapter came to be written under different circumstances than the other chapters, as it is a slightly modified version of a personal letter from Professor Meehl to myself. Meehl was writing in response to an invited commentary that I had written for the Journal of Personality Disorders, concerning Meehl’s (1990c) important theory paper in that journal. My commentary express...
متن کاملThe Dattoli-Srivastava conjectures concerning generating functions involving the harmonic numbers
In a recent paper Dattoli and Srivastava [3], by resorting to umbral calculus, conjectured several generating functions involving harmonic numbers. In this sequel to their work our aim is to rigorously demonstrate the truth of the Dattoli–Srivastava conjectures by making use of simple analytical arguments. In addition, one of these conjectures is stated and proved in more general form. 2009 Els...
