Abstract

top
We describe a primality test for M = ( 2 p ) 2 n + 1 with an odd prime p and a positive integer n, which are a particular type of generalized Fermat numbers. We also present special primality criteria for all odd prime numbers p not exceeding 19. All these primality tests run in deterministic polynomial time in the input size log₂M. A special 2pth power reciprocity law is used to deduce our result.
