new prime k-tuplet page

[Cybertronic]

Hello members !
Tony Forbes told me, from sep. 21 is the old "prime k-tuplet" page frozen by google.
He ask me for taking over his work.

Yes, today I bought a new domain.

I will try to carry on his layout.
New link: www.pzktupel.de\ktuplets.htm
So all future results or records to me.
best wishes
Norman

Nice one, good luck!

A small observation, the term "first appearance", used a lot there, is somehow confuse (and misleading), for sure most of those are not "first appearances" (i.e. there are a lot of smaller primes of the same size, for almost all those in the tables). It seems you use the term as the earliest date of discovery, or something. All those cases should bear an asterisk or footnote saying so.

You mean "first known appearances" is better ?
"first appearances" is take over

Could you add details on software that can be used (and how to use it) for finding tuplets? I think that many people would be interested in finding new records. A few might actually be interested in improving the speed of the software used to find them.

No, I mean it should say like "sorted by the time of discovery" or something. Some native English speaker can weight in better than me. For example, for 100 digits, there are lots and lots of primes smaller than 2^521-1. That can not be "first apparition". Even for 157 digits itself, this is not the "first appearance", that should be 10^156+451, which can be found in 10 milliseconds with pari (type: nextprime(10^156)). Maybe it was the earliest discovered, but that's also arguable. The "first apparition" of twin primes of 100+x digits, for x=0 to 9 can be found very fast with nowadays computers, the next script runs just 7 seconds for 100 to 110, single core (and similar, for larger tuples, for so low digits count), so it would not take too long to solve the "unreliable" part of the tables. What is "unreliable" about??

firstTwins(fromDigit=1, toDigit=200)=
{
   for(n=0,toDigit-fromDigit,
      q=1;
      forprime(p=10^(fromDigit+n-1),10^(fromDigit+n),
         if(p-q == 2,
            if(q == 3,
               print("Found 1 digit: 10^0+3 + {0,2}"),
               print("Found "fromDigit+n" digits: 10^"fromDigit+n-1"+"q-10^(fromDigit+n-1)" + {0,2}")
            );
            break
         );
         q = p
      )
   );
}

gp > firstTwins(100,110)

Gute Arbeit!

I'd vote for "earliest discovery of 100 (1000 etc.) digits".
Then you may add "first appearances of ... digits", as you have also calculated them, as well, maybe with a link to your detailed list "smallest-n-digit-prime-k-tuplets".

I will not change the wording of T. Forbes, but I have extended under "27." a link to the smallest k-tuplet session.

BTW, today I found the second kind of "smallest googol prime 10-tuplet". So the pair is now known.

Okay, I changed it now into "Early discovery"
and took other colors.

I hope it is correct now.

Nice. I love the "smallest tuples" list, the only observation is that you should put the "last updated" text at the beginning, and not at the end. That's for us, so you won't force the reader to go to the end (when I open the page I should see immediately if there was any update, and don't waste my time), but also for you so you won't forget changing the date when you make updates, hihi (the 2012 can't be right as long as you have tuples discovered in 2013, 2014, etc).

>> "last updated" text at the beginning, and not at the end.
>> the 2012 can't be right...


@LaurV Where exactly ?

[LaurV]

See? Told you! It is difficult to find even for yourself (I just searched for "smallest" to find it again)

Here, linked from here, section 23, "Odds and Ends". (I didn't go through all the site yet, but that will come, trust me, hehe).

And as we spoke of it, maybe you can add section links, you know, "#-something" like wiki has, so we don't need to specify the section and chapter when we talk about it. -scratch that, you have that already, but I am silly.

Very good work!
