Perrin Pseudoprime
In mathematics, the Perrin numbers are defined by the recurrence relation : for , with initial values :. The sequence of Perrin numbers starts with : 3, 0, 2, 3, 2, 5, 5, 7, 10, 12, 17, 22, 29, 39, ... The number of different maximal independent sets in an -vertex cycle graph is counted by the th Perrin number for . History This sequence was mentioned implicitly by Édouard Lucas (1876). In 1899, the same sequence was mentioned explicitly by François Olivier Raoul Perrin. The most extensive treatment of this sequence was given by Adams and Shanks (1982). Properties Generating function The generating function of the Perrin sequence is :G(P(n);x)=\frac.

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...

Lucas Pseudoprime
Lucas pseudoprimes and Fibonacci pseudoprimes are composite integers that pass certain tests which all primes and very few composite numbers pass: in this case, criteria relative to some Lucas sequence. Baillie-Wagstaff-Lucas pseudoprimes Baillie and Wagstaff define Lucas pseudoprimes as follows: Given integers ''P'' and ''Q'', where ''P'' > 0 and D=P^2-4Q, let ''Uk''(''P'', ''Q'') and ''Vk''(''P'', ''Q'') be the corresponding Lucas sequences. Let ''n'' be a positive integer and let \left(\tfrac\right) be the Jacobi symbol. We define : \delta(n)=n-\left(\tfrac\right). If ''n'' is a prime that does not divide ''Q'', then the following congruence condition holds: If this congruence does ''not'' hold, then ''n'' is ''not'' prime. If ''n'' is ''composite'', then this congruence ''usually'' does not hold. These are the key facts that make Lucas sequences useful in primality testing. The congruence () represents one of two congruences defining a Frobenius pseudoprime. Hence, ev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fermat Pseudoprime
In number theory, the Fermat pseudoprimes make up the most important class of pseudoprimes that come from Fermat's little theorem. Definition Fermat's little theorem states that if ''p'' is prime and ''a'' is coprime to ''p'', then ''a''''p''−1 − 1 is divisible by ''p''. For an integer ''a'' > 1, if a composite integer ''x'' divides ''a''''x''−1 − 1, then ''x'' is called a Fermat pseudoprime to base ''a''. In other words, a composite integer is a Fermat pseudoprime to base ''a'' if it successfully passes the Fermat primality test for the base ''a''. The false statement that all numbers that pass the Fermat primality test for base 2, are prime, is called the Chinese hypothesis. The smallest base-2 Fermat pseudoprime is 341. It is not a prime, since it equals 11·31, but it satisfies Fermat's little theorem: 2340 ≡ 1 (mod 341) and thus passes the Fermat primality test for the base 2. Pseudoprimes to base 2 are sometimes called Sarrus numbers, afte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pseudoprime
A pseudoprime is a probable prime (an integer that shares a property common to all prime numbers) that is not actually prime. Pseudoprimes are classified according to which property of primes they satisfy. Some sources use the term pseudoprime to describe all probable primes, both composite numbers and actual primes. Pseudoprimes are of primary importance in public-key cryptography, which makes use of the difficulty of factoring large numbers into their prime factors. Carl Pomerance estimated in 1988 that it would cost $10 million to factor a number with 144 digits, and $100 billion to factor a 200-digit number (the cost today is dramatically lower but still prohibitively high). But finding two large prime numbers as needed for this use is also expensive, so various probabilistic primality tests are used, some of which in rare cases inappropriately deliver composite numbers instead of primes. On the other hand, deterministic primality tests, such as the AKS primality test, do not g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Composite Number
A composite number is a positive integer that can be formed by multiplying two smaller positive integers. Equivalently, it is a positive integer that has at least one divisor other than 1 and itself. Every positive integer is composite, prime, or the unit 1, so the composite numbers are exactly the numbers that are not prime and not a unit. For example, the integer 14 is a composite number because it is the product of the two smaller integers 2 × 7. Likewise, the integers 2 and 3 are not composite numbers because each of them can only be divided by one and itself. The composite numbers up to 150 are: :4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 60, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 72, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 80, 81, 82, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 98, 99, 100, 102, 104, 105, 106, 108, 110, 111, 112, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 1 ...

Splitting Field
In abstract algebra, a splitting field of a polynomial with coefficients in a field is the smallest field extension of that field over which the polynomial ''splits'', i.e., decomposes into linear factors. Definition A splitting field of a polynomial ''p''(''X'') over a field ''K'' is a field extension ''L'' of ''K'' over which ''p'' factors into linear factors :p(X) = c\prod_^ (X - a_i) where c\in K and for each i we have X - a_i \in L /math> with ''ai'' not necessarily distinct and such that the roots ''ai'' generate ''L'' over ''K''. The extension ''L'' is then an extension of minimal degree over ''K'' in which ''p'' splits. It can be shown that such splitting fields exist and are unique up to isomorphism. The amount of freedom in that isomorphism is known as the Galois group of ''p'' (if we assume it is separable). Properties An extension ''L'' which is a splitting field for a set of polynomials ''p''(''X'') over ''K'' is called a normal extension of ''K''. Given an ...

Pell Number
In mathematics, the Pell numbers are an infinite sequence of integers, known since ancient times, that comprise the denominators of the closest rational approximations to the square root of 2. This sequence of approximations begins , , , , and , so the sequence of Pell numbers begins with 1, 2, 5, 12, and 29. The numerators of the same sequence of approximations are half the companion Pell numbers or Pell–Lucas numbers; these numbers form a second infinite sequence that begins with 2, 6, 14, 34, and 82. Both the Pell numbers and the companion Pell numbers may be calculated by means of a recurrence relation similar to that for the Fibonacci numbers, and both sequences of numbers grow exponentially, proportionally to powers of the silver ratio 1 + . As well as being used to approximate the square root of two, Pell numbers can be used to find square triangular numbers, to construct integer approximations to the right isosceles triangle, and to solve certain combinat ...

Silver Ratio
In mathematics, two quantities are in the silver ratio (or silver mean) if the ratio of the smaller of those two quantities to the larger quantity is the same as the ratio of the larger quantity to the sum of the smaller quantity and twice the larger quantity (see below). This defines the silver ratio as an irrational mathematical constant, whose value of one plus the square root of 2 is approximately 2.4142135623. Its name is an allusion to the golden ratio; analogously to the way the golden ratio is the limiting ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers, the silver ratio is the limiting ratio of consecutive Pell numbers. The silver ratio is denoted by . Mathematicians have studied the silver ratio since the time of the Greeks (although perhaps without giving a special name until recently) because of its connections to the square root of 2, its convergents, square triangular numbers, Pell numbers, octagons and the like. The relation described above can be expressed algebraical ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Padovan Sequence
In number theory, the Padovan sequence is the sequence of integers ''P''(''n'') defined. by the initial values :P(0)=P(1)=P(2)=1, and the recurrence relation :P(n)=P(n-2)+P(n-3). The first few values of ''P''(''n'') are :1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, 16, 21, 28, 37, 49, 65, 86, 114, 151, 200, 265, ... A Padovan prime is a Padovan number that's also prime. The first Padovan primes are: :2, 3, 5, 7, 37, 151, 3329, 23833, 13091204281, 3093215881333057, 1363005552434666078217421284621279933627102780881053358473, 1558877695141608507751098941899265975115403618621811951868598809164180630185566719, ... .

Lucas Number
The Lucas numbers or Lucas series are an integer sequence named after the mathematician François Édouard Anatole Lucas (1842–1891), who studied both that sequence and the closely related Fibonacci numbers. Lucas numbers and Fibonacci numbers form complementary instances of Lucas sequences. The Lucas series has the same recursive relationship as the Fibonacci sequence, where each term is the sum of the two previous terms, but with different starting values. This produces a sequence where the ratios of successive terms approach the golden ratio, and in fact the terms themselves are roundings of integer powers of the golden ratio. The sequence also has a variety of relationships with the Fibonacci numbers, like the fact that adding any two Fibonacci numbers two terms apart in the Fibonacci sequence results in the Lucas number in between. The first few Lucas numbers are : 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, 199, 322, 521, 843, 1364, 2207, 3571, 5778, 9349 .... Defini ...
