Somer-Lucas pseudoprime

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, in particular number theory, an odd composite number N is a Somer-Lucas d-pseudoprime (with given d\le 1) if there exists a nondegenerate Lucas sequence

U(P,Q)

with

U0 = 0,U1 = 1,D = P2 − 4Q,

such that

(N,D) = 1

and the rank appearance of N in the sequence U(P,Q) is

(1 / a)(N − (D / N)),

where

(D / N)

is the Jacobi symbol.
