Please make all efforts to be clear. Don't invent terms unless you must, and if you do you need to give clear, concise definitions. It should be evident at each step precisely what you are claiming...

Daunting to be sure, but I think there is reason for hope. Much progress has been made recently, and a mathematician who has all of the tools in her/his toolbox will be better able to attack the...

We all make mistakes, and it's good to point out mistakes you see so they can be corrected.

Think about it in four stages.

1. Define it precisely and unambiguously. Until you do this, you can't even be wrong (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2005/sep/19/ideas.g2).

Yes, that would be fine. You could also use misc math, but I think this would be better.

A new thread would be better than re-using this one, I think.



My hope is that we can help hone that...

Yes, this is known -- they are shifts of the polynomial. With f(x)=x^2+ x+41, your polynomials are f(x+1), f(x-2), f(x+2), f(x-3), f(x+3), and f(x-4).

Let's compare performance. If the number is composite, the time both take depends on their smallest prime factor p. Your algorithm takes (p-1)/2 steps, while trial division takes pi(p) - 1 steps...

Batalov's claim is that if n+2 = 2^p - 1, your algorithm returns "prime" regardless of whether 2^p - 1 is prime or composite. If n+2 is composite. For example, set n = 2045 and check that the test is...

Danaj is an expert, the author of Math::Prime::Util (http://search.cpan.org/~danaj/Math-Prime-Util-0.69/lib/Math/Prime/Util.pm) among others. He certainly did not just Google up a random paper.
