Greetings all,
Well, the response to the P-1 database has been overwhelming...
I received over a dozen respones with 2 hours of posting the
request to the list...
I'm still in the process of collecting and merging data into
the database. However, I hope to have the first batch of
data available on the Web by the end of the week!!
In the meantime, I've run across a scenario for which I need
some information confirmed. Not being a mathematician, and
only knowing a general overview of P-1 testing, I want to
verify my understading before I proceed witht he situation...
I've run across a number of exponents that have been tested
multiple (>1) times AND meet a special situation. The bounds
for one test have a higher B1, but lower B2, then another.
As an example (no specific case exists *yet*!):
B1 Bound B2 Bound
-------- --------
Test #1: 10000 10000000
Test #2: 25000 2500000
Test #3: 100000 5000000
Test #4: 50000 7500000
I assume that I would use both the B1 and B2 from test #3,
as it has the highest B1 bound. I'm assuming this since we
want all the factors of k (from 2kp+1) to be less than B1 OR
all less the B1 except one which is between B1 and B2. As a
result, the B2 bound is B1 dependent...
Correct? Wrong? Let me know so I can add these special
exponents to the database...
Thanks,
Eric
