A search for Wilson primes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Wilson prime is a prime p such that (p − 1)! = −1 (mod p). We report on a search for Wilson primes up to 2 × 10, and describe several new algorithms that were used in the search. In particular we give the first known algorithm that computes (p − 1)! (mod p) in average polynomial time per prime.

A search for Wieferich and Wilson primes
An odd prime p is called a Wieferich prime if 2p−1 ≡ 1 (mod p); alternatively, a Wilson prime if (p− 1)! ≡ −1 (mod p). To date, the only known Wieferich primes are p = 1093 and 3511, while the only known Wilson primes are p = 5, 13, and 563. We report that there exist no new Wieferich primes p < 4×1012 , and no new Wilson primes p < 5×108. It is elementary that both defining congruences above h...
متن کاملDistinct Fuzzy Subgroups of a Dihedral Group of Order $2pqrs$ for Distinct Primes $p, , q, , r$ and $s$
In this paper we classify fuzzy subgroups of the dihedral group $D_{pqrs}$ for distinct primes $p$, $q$, $r$ and $s$. This follows similar work we have done on distinct fuzzy subgroups of some dihedral groups.We present formulae for the number of (i) distinct maximal chains of subgroups, (ii) distinct fuzzy subgroups and (iii) non-isomorphic classes of fuzzy subgroups under our chosen equival...
متن کاملA Wieferich Prime Search up to 6 . 7 × 10 15
A Wieferich prime is a prime p such that 2p−1 ≡ 1 (mod p2). Despite several intensive searches, only two Wieferich primes are known: p = 1093 and p = 3511. This paper describes a new search algorithm for Wieferich primes using double-precision Montgomery arithmetic and a memoryless sieve, which runs significantly faster than previously published algorithms, allowing us to report that there are ...
متن کاملThe continuing search for Wieferich primes
A prime p satisfying the congruence 2p−1 ≡ 1 (mod p) is called a Wieferich prime. Although the number of Wieferich primes is believed to be infinite, the only ones that have been discovered so far are 1093 and 3511. This paper describes a search for further solutions. The search was conducted via a large scale Internet based computation. The result that there are no new Wieferich primes less th...
متن کاملFactoring RSA Modulus Using Prime Reconstruction from Random Known Bits
This paper discusses the factorization of the RSA modulus N (i.e., N = pq, where p, q are primes of same bit size) by reconstructing the primes from randomly known bits. The reconstruction method is a modified brute-force search exploiting the known bits to prune wrong branches of the search tree, thereby reducing the total search space towards possible factorization. Here we revisit the work o...
