As often you are either wrong or do not cite correctly. Take an = -1/(n+1) ; then an < an+1 and the limit is zero, but obviously the series is not convergent.

How do you get the starting value r1 := r with r^2 = -1 mod m without taking square roots mod m?

Either you have not completely specified your generalised conjecture or there is a counter example for Case I! Take a=-2 and c=-9. Then gcd(a,c)=1 but there are at least two solutions for (x,n):

If n= p_1 \times p_2 \times \cdots \times p_k is square-free, then Z/n Z is isomorphic to the product of fields Z/p_1 Z \times Z/p_2 Z \times \cdots \times Z/p_k Z. So if "the result is clear for n...

With n=8; x=Mod(4,n); y=Mod(1,n); z=Mod(2,n) you have x^2*y = x^2*z = Mod(0, 8) but x*y = Mod(4, 8) != x*z = Mod(0, 8).

Depends on the exact implementation, but I guess from the description that it includes the BPSW test. For this test there are no known counter-examples. See http://www.trnicely.net/misc/bpsw.html and...

Use Cornacchia's algorithm (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornacchia%27s_algorithm or Crandall/Pomerance, Algorithm 2.3.12), it is very effective.

There is no problem to compute sqrt(x) mod p*q or sqrt(x) mod p^k with p,q prime if x is a quadratic residue mod p and mod q.

IMHO the hard case is if the Jacobi symbol (x | p*q) is 1, e.q. (3 |...
