Somer-Lucas pseudoprime
In mathematics, in particular number theory, an odd composite number N is a Somer-Lucas d-pseudoprime (with given d<math>\le <math>1) if there exists a nondegenerate Lucas sequence
- <math>U(P,Q)<math>
with
- <math>U_0=0, U_1=1, D=P^2–4Q<math>,
such that
- <math>(N,D)=1<math>
and the rank appearance of N in the sequence <math>U(P,Q)<math> is
- <math>(1/a)(N-(D/N))<math>,
where
- <math>(D/N)<math>
is the Jacobi symbol.
