In the y*hoo primeform group you will see posts about it. The lowest even Reisel number is mooted to be 346802 and the lowest even Sierpinski 159986. That is to say 346802.5^n-1 is always composite for every n, and 159986.5^n+1 is similarly endowed. The Sierpinskis look the easiest to look at. We have to show there is a prime for every even k (in the power series k.5^n+1) less than k=159986 and I have checked so far up to n=18468 for all of the remaining values of k shown below. All other values of k have a prime at less than n=18468 If anyone wants to take a stab at any of the values then reserve a k by answering this thread and run it up to a certain value of n, and post either the prp or the range tested. As usual, I will not be able to take a terribly active role in all of this, I have no computer power and work takes up a lot of my time right now.

 2004-10-06, 21:21 #3 robert44444uk     Jun 2003 Oxford, UK 111100011002 Posts And more - 204 to go! 81700*5^20040+1 89806*5^20852+1 95246*5^21669+1 132028*5^21736+1 138022*5^22280+1 141532*5^22472+1 The size of these first-time prp numbers is getting interesting and only 204 candidates to check.

 2004-10-07, 06:16 #4 robert44444uk     Jun 2003 Oxford, UK 22·3·7·23 Posts Sieve Actually have not started sieving yet! Just pre factoring ( -f100) in pfgw. Populations of candidates with no factors under 1000000 are only 1-3% or so in any case. Don't know of a quick way to sieve 200 candidates, Phil Carmody developed software to sieve 12 at a time. But it would be easy to take a few candidates and sieve in NewPGen and run up to 200000 or so. Regards Robert Smith PS: 150506*5^22667+1 popped up overnight

 2004-10-11, 16:08 #6 robert44444uk     Jun 2003 Oxford, UK 22·3·7·23 Posts Some more Lars and other interested folk: I have been away for a few days, and the following are all first primes - sorry for the one over 150000, I shall stop testing these. 150506*5^22667+1 33860*5^23213+1 6772*5^23214+1 104624*5^23443+1 137714*5^23863+1 96806*5^24813+1 106418*5^25077+1 59302*5^25228+1 All remaining candidates are tested to n=25228. After these and Lars's discovery there are 195 remaining candidates. I will take on the first 12 of the remainder and check to n=200000, namely 2822 3706 4276 4738 5048 5114 5504 6082 6436 7528 8644 9248 Regards Robert Smith
 2004-10-27, 11:13 #7 geoff     Mar 2003 New Zealand 115710 Posts I found the following two primes: 15274*5^31410+1 15506*5^39203+1 These four k have no primes for n < 50000: 10918 12988 14110 18530 I am going to stop there for now.
 2004-12-26, 08:36 #8 geoff     Mar 2003 New Zealand 13·89 Posts I found these two primes: 30658*5^29860+1, 31286*5^59705+1 (196 to go). These two k have no primes for n < 60000, so I'm releasing them: 30410, 31712. I'm reserving the following six k: 32122, 32180, 32518, 33358, 33448, 33526.
 2004-12-26, 19:40 #9 ltd     Apr 2003 22·193 Posts Hi, finally there is a new report from my side. I have checked my logs and found that i did forget to test k=153290 upto n=30000 and guess what i found: 153290*5^29859+1 is prime!!!!! I keep my other k reserved. Lars
 2005-01-02, 08:36 #10 ltd     Apr 2003 11000001002 Posts OK here are the results from my search. All k are tested to n=50000. I will unreserve these k for now. And here comes the important part: 159706*5^35244+1 is prime 158044*5^43818+1 is prime Lars
 2005-01-06, 10:41 #11 Templus     Jun 2004 2·53 Posts In the case that 21380*5^n+1 equals to 4276*5^(n+1)+1 , the following are prime: 4276*5^50626+1 21380*5^50625+1 106900*5^50624+1 Shouldn't we remove all multiples of 10 (which are multiples of 5) which have duplicate k's in the list? Like the k I mentioned above? 2822 / 14110 / 70550 18530 / 92650 4738 / 23690 / 118450 5114 / 25570 / 127850 5504 / 27520 / 137600 6082 / 30410 / 152050 6436 / 32180 6772 / 33860 And so on....The most left number is the 'base' number and the numbers following it are multiples of 5 of it. So why would we check for their primality, if we new the primality of a multiple of it? Am I right? (Just a n00b on primality) Also, I'm now reserving k = 24032 until n=100000 Last fiddled with by Templus on 2005-01-06 at 10:43
