M. Robinson. %C A018844 Starting values for Lucas-Lehmer test that result in a zero term (mod Mersenne prime Mp) after P-1 steps. - Jason Follas (jfollas_mersenne(AT)hotmail.com), Aug 01 2004 %H A018844 Herb Savage et al., Re: Mersenne: starting values for LL-test %F A018844 Union of sequences a_1=4, a_2=52, a_{n}=14*a_{n-1} - a_{n-2} and b_1=10, b_2=970, b_{n}=98*b_{n-1} - b_{n-2}. %F A018844 a[1]=14 (mod Mp), a[2]=52 (mod Mp), a[n]=(14*a[n-1]-a[n-2]) (mod Mp). - Jason Follas (jfollas_mersenne(AT)hotmail.com), Aug 01 2004 %F A018844 Though originally noted as the union of two sequences, when the first sequence (14*a[n-1]-a[n-2]) is evaluated modulo a Mersenne prime, the terms of the second sequence (98*b[n-1]-b[n-2]) will occur naturally (just not in numerical order). - Jason Follas (jfollas_mersenne(AT)hotmail.com), Aug 01 2004 %Y A018844 Sequence in context: A151611 A032495 A109387 this_sequence A007027 A096423 A013589 %Y A018844 Adjacent sequences: A018841 A018842 A018843 this_sequence A018845 A018846 A018847 %K A018844 nonn %O A018844 0,1 %A A018844 Robert G.
