In arithmetic, an odd composite integer ''n'' is called an Euler pseudoprime to base ''a'', if ''a'' and ''n'' are coprime, and : (where ''mod'' refers to the modulo operation). The motivation for this definition is the fact that all prime numbers ''p'' satisfy the above equation which can be deduced from Fermat's little theorem. Fermat's theorem asserts that if ''p'' is prime, and coprime to ''a'', then ''a''''p''−1 = 1 (mod ''p''). Suppose that ''p''>2 is prime, then ''p'' can be expressed as 2''q'' + 1 where ''q'' is an integer. Thus; ''a''(2''q''+1) − 1 = 1 (mod ''p'') which means that ''a''2''q'' − 1 = 0 (mod ''p''). This can be factored as (''a''''q'' − 1)(''a''''q'' + 1) = 0 (mod ''p'') which is equivalent to ''a''(''p''−1)/2 = ±1 (mod ''p''). The equation can be tested rather quickly, which can be used for probabilistic primality testing. These tests are twice as strong as tests based on Fermat's little theorem. Every Euler pseudoprime is also a Fermat pseudoprime. It is not possible to produce a definite test of primality based on whether a number is an Euler pseudoprime because there exist ''absolute Euler pseudoprimes'', numbers which are Euler pseudoprimes to every base relatively prime to themselves. The absolute Euler pseudoprimes are a subset of the absolute Fermat pseudoprimes, or Carmichael numbers, and the smallest absolute Euler pseudoprime is 1729 = 7×13×19. ==Relation to Euler-Jacobi pseudoprimes== The slightly stronger condition that : where ''n'' is an odd composite, the greatest common divisor of ''a'' and ''n'' equals 1, and (''a''/''n'') is the Jacobi symbol, is the more common definition of an Euler pseudoprime. See, for example, page 115 of the book by Koblitz listed below, page 90 of the book by Riesel, or page 1003 of. A discussion of numbers of this form can be found at Euler–Jacobi pseudoprime. There are no absolute Euler-Jacobi pseudoprimes. Euler pseudoprimes to base 2 are :341, 561, 1105, 1729, 1905, 2047, 2465, 3277, 4033, 4681, 5461, 6601, 8321, 8481, 10261, 10585, 12801, 15709, 15841, 16705, 18705, ... 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Euler pseudoprime」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
