PPT: New Low Complexity Deterministic Primality Tests Leveraging Explicit and Implicit Non-Residues. A Set of Three Companion Manuscripts (original) (raw)

In this set of three companion manuscripts/articles, we unveil our new results on primality testing and reveal new primality testing algorithms enabled by those results. The results have been classified (and referred to) as lemmas/corollaries/claims whenever we have complete analytic proof(s); otherwise the results are introduced as conjectures. In Part/Article 1, we start with the Baseline Primality Conjecture~(PBPC) which enables deterministic primality detection with a low complexity = O((log N)^2) ; when an explicit value of a Quadratic Non Residue (QNR) modulo-N is available (which happens to be the case for an overwhelming majority = 11/12 = 91.67% of all odd integers). We then demonstrate Primality Lemma PL-1, which reveals close connections between the state-of-the-art Miller-Rabin method and the renowned Euler-Criterion. This Lemma, together with the Baseline Primality Conjecture enables a synergistic fusion of Miller-Rabin iterations and our method(s), resulting in hybrid ...
