For the standard notation of family: (a*b^n+c)/gcd(a+c,b-1) (a >= 1, b >= 2 (b is the base), c != 0, gcd(a,c) = 1, gcd(b,c) = 1), for this minimal prime (start with b+1) problem, we require a lower bound of n (i.e. n>=n_0 for a given n_0), however, in this research we can let n < n_0, even let n = 0 or n < 0, i.e. n can be any (positive or negative or 0) integer, and take the numerator of the absolute value of (a*b^n+c)/gcd(a+c,b-1) (since if (a*b^n+c)/gcd(a+c,b-1) have covering sets (covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them), then this covering sets must have a period of n (i.e. depending on (n mod N) for an integer N, where N is the period), even include n = 0 or n < 0, if there is a (positive or negative or 0) integer n such that the numerator of the absolute value of (a*b^n+c)/gcd(a+c,b-1) has no prime factor p not dividing b, nor has algebraic factorization (it has algebraic factorization if and only if there is an integer r>1 such that a*b^n and -c are both r-th powers of rational numbers, or a*b^n*c is perfect 4th power), then (a*b^n+c)/gcd(a+c,b-1) cannot have finite covering sets (covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them), i.e. if (a*b^n+c)/gcd(a+c,b-1) has covering sets, then the covering sets must be infinite, and thus there must be a prime of this form e.g. the form D{B} in base 16, its formula is (206*16^n-11)/15, and we have (take the numerator of the absolute value of the numbers): (although for this minimal prime (start with b+1) problem, n must be >= 1, but in this research of covering sets, we extend to all (positive or negative or 0) integer n n = 2: 5*19*37 n = 1: 3 * 73 n = 0: 13 n = -1: 1 n = -2: 3*29 Since for n = -1, its value is 1, and 1 has no prime factors, besides, there is no integer r>1 such that 206*16^(-1) and 11 are both r-th powers of rational numbers, and 206*16^(-1)*(-11) is not 4th power of rational number, thus the form D{B} in base 16 cannot have any kinds of covering sets, and there must be a prime of this form. The form 4{D} in base 14, its formula is 5*14^n-1 n = 2: 11 * 89 n = 1: 3 * 23 n = 0: 2^2 n = -1: 3^2 n = -2: 191 Since for n = 0, its value is 4, and the only prime factor of 4 is 2, but since 2 divides 14 and then 2 cannot appear in the covering set of 5*14^n-1, besides, there is no integer r>1 such that 5*14^0 and 1 are both r-th powers of rational numbers, and 5*14^0*(-1) is not 4th power of rational number, thus the form 4{D} in base 14 cannot have any kinds of covering sets, and there must be a prime of this form. The form 9{6}M in base 25, its formula is (37*25^n+63)/4 n = 2: 11 * 17 * 31 n = 1: 13 * 19 n = 0: 5^2 n = -1: 13 * 31 n = -2: 59 * 167 Since for n = 0, its value is 25, and the only prime factor of 25 is 5, but since 5 divides 25 and then 5 cannot appear in the covering set of (37*25^n+63)/4, besides, there is no integer r>1 such that 37*25^0 and -63 are both r-th powers of rational numbers, and 37*25^0*63 is not 4th power of rational number, thus the form 9{6}M in base 25 cannot have any kinds of covering sets, and there must be a prime of this form. Note: 4*72^n-1 does not apply this, since although 4*72^0-1 has no prime factor p not dividing 72, but 4*72^0 and 1 are both squares, thus it has algebraic factorization of difference of squares, thus we cannot show that 4*72^n-1 has no covering set. An interesting case, there is two such k but still no easy prime: Base 312, form C{0}1, its formula is 12*312^n+1: n = 2: 229 * 5101 n = 1: 5 * 7 * 107 n = 0: 13 n = -1: 3^3 n = -2: 7 * 19 * 61 For n = 0, its value is 13, and the only prime factor of 13 is 13, but since 13 divides 312 and 13 cannot appear in the coveting set of 12*312^n+1 For n = -1, its value is 27, and the only prime factor of 27 is 3, but since 3 divides 312 and 3 cannot appear in the coveting set of 12*312^n+1 And 12*312^n+1 has no algebraic factorization for any n (since the difference of the exponents of 3 and the exponents of 13 is 1, and thus there cannot be r>1 dividing both of them, thus 12*312^n is never perfect power nor of the form 4*m^4), however, 12*312^n+1 has no easy prime, the first prime is n=21162 Base 100, family 4{3}, its formula is (133*100^n-1)/33 n = 2: 41 * 983 n = 1: 13 * 31 n = 0: 2^2 n = -1: 1 n = -2: 13 * 23 For n = 0, its value is 4, and the only prime factor of 4 is 2, but since 2 divides 100 and 2 cannot appear in the coveting set of (133*100^n-1)/33 For n = -1, its value is 1, and 1 has no prime factors And (133*100^n-1)/33 has no algebraic factorization for any n (since the exponents of 7 and 19 are both 1, thus 133*100^n is never perfect power nor of the form 4*m^4), however, (133*100^n-1)/33 has no easy prime, the first prime is n=5496 However, family 5{7} in base 11 does not apply this (there is no (positive or negative or 0) integer n such that (57*11^n-7)/10 has no prime factor p not dividing 11), thus we cannot show that 5{7} in base 11 has no covering set. An interesting case is (2*b+1)*b^n-1 (for even b), and its dual form b^n-(2*b+1) (for even b), it applies this (by choose n = 0 for both (2*b+1)*b^n-1 and b^n-(2*b+1), both will get 2*b, and since b is even, it cannot have prime factors not dividing b, but since all prime factors of b+1 divides 1/2 of numbers in these two sequences (for all odd b, both (2*b+1)*b^n-1 and b^n-(2*b+1) are divisible by b+1), thus its Nash weight must * (1/2) and become very low (usually, low-weight (a*b^n+c)/gcd(a+c,b-1) (a >= 1, b >= 2 (b is the base), c != 0, gcd(a,c) = 1, gcd(b,c) = 1) forms have a prime factor p dividing (a*b^n+c)/gcd(a+c,b-1) (a >= 1, b >= 2 (b is the base), c != 0, gcd(a,c) = 1, gcd(b,c) = 1) for either all even n or all odd n) and may have no easy prime. If 2*b+1 is perfect square, then these two forms have a covering set with combine of covering congruence (one-cover with b+1) and algebraic factorization (difference-of-two-squares factorization) For the original form: b = 46 is a classic example, its smallest prime is 93*46^24162-1 For the dual form: b = 18 has smallest prime 18^768-37, and this prime is a minimal prime (start with b+1) in this base (the smallest prime of the dual form (if exists) must be a minimal prime (start with b+1) in this base if b is divisible by 6) A similar example is (b+2)*b^n-1 with even b, it applies this (by choose n = -1), but since all prime factors of b+1 divides 1/2 of numbers, it have no easy prime for b = 352, 430, and many bases b, but it cannot produce minimal primes (start with b+1) Last fiddled with by sweety439 on 2022-07-13 at 06:25

Some of them are conjectured numbers (they are 99.9999999999999... (> 10000 9's) correct, but not 100% correct), they are:

b=11, d=7:

* If 5(7^62668) is in fact composite but there is a larger prime 5{7}, then it will be the smallest n such that 5(7^n) is prime, and must be > 62668
* If 5(7^62668) is in fact composite and there is no prime of the form 5{7}, then it is 1011 (the prime 5571011)

b=13, d=0:

* If 8(0^32017)111 is in fact composite but there is a larger prime 8{0}111, then it will be the smallest n such that 8(0^n)111 is prime, and must be > 32017
* If 8(0^32017)111 is in fact composite and there is no prime of the form 8{0}111, then it is 6540 (the prime B06540BBA)

b=13, d=3:

* If there is no prime of the form A{3}A, then it is 178 (the prime 31785)

b=13, d=5:

* If there is no prime of the form 9{5} and C(5^23755)C is in fact prime, then it is 23755
* If there is no prime of the form 9{5} and C(5^23755)C is in fact composite but there is a larger prime C{5}C, then it will be the smallest n such that C(5^n)C is prime, and must be > 23755
* If there is no prime of the form 9{5} and C(5^23755)C is in fact composite and there is no prime of the form C{5}C, then it is 713 (the prime CC5713)

b=16, d=3:

* If there is no prime of the form {3}AF, then it is 24 (the prime 3241)

b=16, d=4:

* If (4^72785)DD is in fact composite but there is a larger prime {4}DD, then it will be the smallest n such that (4^n)DD is prime, and must be > 72785
* If (4^72785)DD is in fact composite and there is no prime of the form {4}DD, then it is 263 (the prime D4263D)

b=16, d=B:

* If D(B^32234) is in fact composite but there is a larger prime D{B}, then it will be the smallest n such that D(B^n) is prime, and must be > 32234
* If D(B^32234) is in fact composite and there is no prime of the form D{B}, then it is 17804 (the prime D0B17804)
