Recognizing Primes

چکیده
This is a survey article on primality testing and general methods for recognizing primes. We also look at methods for generating random primes since this is valuable in cryptographic methods such as the RSA cipher. Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 11A41; Secondary: 11A51

A Few Primality Testing Algorithms
These notes will cover a few primality testing algorithms. There are many such, some prove that a number is prime, others prove that a number is composite. To prove a number composite is easy—just provide a nontrivial factor of it. Since division is a polynomial time operation, this shows that COMPOSITE, the decision problem of recognizing composite numbers, is in NP, so PRIMES is in co-NP. To ...
متن کاملVariants of Recognition Problems for Modular Forms
We consider the problem of distinguishing two modular forms, or two elliptic curves, by looking at the coefficients of their L-functions for small primes (compared to their conductor). Using analytic methods based on large-sieve type inequalities we give various upper bounds on the number of forms having the first few coefficients equal to those of a fixed one. In addition, we consider similar ...
متن کاملEffects of early common features on form perception.
Recognizing forms may involve a contingency in which later processing is modified, depending on the results of early analyses. This hypothesis can be distinguished from feature models, in which features (including early global features) accumulate over time. In four experiments, shape primes were presented briefly, followed immediately and in the same location by a similarly or differently shap...
متن کاملA Note on Artinian Primes and Second Modules
Prime submodules and artinian prime modules are characterized. Furthermore, some previous results on prime modules and second modules are generalized.
متن کاملON THE SPECTRUM OF DERANGEMENT GRAPHS OF ORDER A PRODUCT OF THREE PRIMES
A permutation with no fixed points is called a derangement.The subset $mathcal{D}$ of a permutation group is derangement if all elements of $mathcal{D}$ are derangement.Let $G$ be a permutation group, a derangementgraph is one with vertex set $G$ and derangement set $mathcal{D}$ as connecting set. In this paper, we determine the spectrum of derangement graphs of order a product of three primes.
