BiEntropy, TriEntropy and Primality [PDF]
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.

The 24th mersenne prime. [PDF]
The 24th Mersenne prime M p = 2 p - 1, and currently the largest known prime, is 2 19937 - 1. Primality was shown by the Lucas-Lehmer test on an IBM 360/91 computer.

Minimality Conditions Equivalent to the Finitude of Fermat and Mersenne Primes
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.

Characterizations of Mersenne and 2-rooted primes
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
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.

Cryptographically Strong Elliptic Curves of Prime Order [PDF]
The purpose of this paper is to generate cryptographically strong elliptic curves over prime fields Fp, where p is a Mersenne prime, one of the special primes or a random prime. We search for elliptic curves which orders are also prime numbers.

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.

Gaussian Mersenne and Eisenstein Mersenne primes [PDF]
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
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.
