A new algorithm for constructing large Carmichael numbers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe an algorithm for constructing Carmichael numbers N with a large number of prime factors p1, p2, . . . , pk. This algorithm starts with a given number Λ = lcm(p1 − 1, p2 − 1, . . . , pk − 1), representing the value of the Carmichael function λ(N). We found Carmichael numbers with up to 1101518 factors.

Constructing Carmichael numbers through improved subset-product algorithms
We have constructed a Carmichael number with 10,333,229,505 prime factors, and have also constructed Carmichael numbers with k prime factors for every k between 3 and 19,565,220. These computations are the product of implementations of two new algorithms for the subset product problem that exploit the non-uniform distribution of primes p with the property that p − 1 divides a highly composite Λ.
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Constructing the Pareto Front of Bi-objective Optimization Problems
Here, scalarization techniques for multi-objective optimization problems are addressed. A new scalarization approach, called unified Pascoletti-Serafini approach, is utilized and a new algorithm to construct the Pareto front of a given bi-objective optimization problem is formulated. It is shown that we can restrict the parameters of the scalarized problem. The computed efficient points provide...
متن کاملThere Are Innnitely Many Carmichael Numbers Larger Values Were Subsequently Found
Fermat wrote in a letter to Frenicle, that whenever p is prime, p divides a p?1 ? 1 for all integers a not divisible by p, a result now known as Fermat's `little theorem'. An equivalent formulation is the assertion that p divides a p ? a for all integers a, whenever p is prime. The question naturally arose as to whether the primes are the only integers exceeding 1 that satisfy this criterion, b...
