On the Eight Levels theorem and applications towards Lucas-Lehmer primality test for Mersenne primes, I [PDF]

open access: yesArab Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2023
Lucas-Lehmer test is the current standard algorithm used for testing the primality of Mersenne numbers, but it may have limitations in terms of its efficiency and accuracy.

Minimality Conditions Equivalent to the Finitude of Fermat and Mersenne Primes [PDF]

open access: yesAxioms, 2023
The question is still open as to whether there exist infinitely many Fermat primes or infinitely many composite Fermat numbers. The same question concerning Mersenne numbers is also unanswered.

BiEntropy, TriEntropy and Primality [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
The order and disorder of binary representations of the natural numbers < 28 is measured using the BiEntropy function. Significant differences are detected between the primes and the non-primes.

COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN A NOVEL DETERMINISTIC TEST FOR MERSENNE PRIMES AND THE WELL-KNOWN PRIMALITY TESTS [PDF]

open access: yesمجلة بغداد للعلوم, 2023
In this article, a new deterministic primality test for Mersenne primes is presented. It also includes a comparative study between well-known primality tests in order to identify the best test.

Characterizations of Mersenne and 2-rooted primes

open access: yesFinite Fields and Their Applications, 2015
We give several characterizations of Mersenne primes (Theorem 1.1) and of primes for which 2 is a primitive root (Theorem 1.2). These characterizations involve group algebras, circulant matrices, binomial coefficients, and bipartite graphs.

On the Sum of Reciprocals of Mersenne Primes

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Computational Mathematics, 2017
The sum of reciprocals of Mersenne primes converges to 0.51645417894078856533···, which is an example of a probably infinite subset of primes whose sum of reciprocals is finite and can be computed accurately. This value is larger than , where  is the set of perfect powers of prime numbers.

Gaussian Mersenne and Eisenstein Mersenne primes [PDF]

open access: yesMathematics of Computation, 2010
The Biquadratic Reciprocity Law is used to produce a deterministic primality test for Gaussian Mersenne norms which is analogous to the Lucas–Lehmer test for Mersenne numbers. It is shown that the proposed test could not have been obtained from the Quadratic Reciprocity Law and Proth’s Theorem.

A study on the number of edges of some families of graphs and generalized Mersenne numbers

open access: yesRatio Mathematica, 2022
The relationship between the Nandu sequence of the SM family of graphs and the Generalized Mersenne numbers is demonstrated in this study. Nandu sequences are related to the two families of SM sum graphs and SM Balancing graphs.
