             Summary: Speed up Primes.nextPrime(int)
                 Key: NUMBERS-133
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUMBERS-133
             Project: Commons Numbers
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: primes
    Affects Versions: 1.0
            Reporter: Heinrich Bohne


The method {{Primes.nextPrime(int)}} can use the same algorithm to skip 
multiples of certain primes as {{SmallPrimes.boundedTrialDivision(int, int, 
List<Integer>)}} uses, instead of hard-coding the alternating increment of the 
trial candidate into a loop.

Also, if the argument of the method is smaller than or equal to the 512th prime 
number, the method can just infer the next higher prime number directly from 
the array {{SmallPrimes.PRIMES}} without performing any calculations.
