A general density theory of the set of prime divisors of a certain family of linear recurring sequences with constant coefficients, a family which is defined for any order recursion, is built up from the work of Lucas, Laxton, Hasse, and Lagarias. In particular, in this theory t…
"This book contains a complete detailed description of two classes of special numbers closely related to classical problems of the Theory of Primes. There is also extensive discussions of applied issues related to Cryptography. In Mathematics, a Mersenne number (named after Mari…

An infinite family -- The search for large primes -- The great insight of Legendre and Gauss -- Euler, the visionary -- Dirichlet's theorem -- The Bertrand postulate and the Chebyshev theorem -- Riemann shows the way -- Connecting the zeta function to the prime counting function…
"This book is about the life of primes. Indeed, once they are defined, primes take on a life of their own and the mysteries surrounding them begin multiplying, just like living cells reproduce themselves, and there seems to be no end to it. This monograph takes the reader on a j…

The Riemann zeta function was introduced by L. Euler (1737) in connection with questions about the distribution of prime numbers. Later, B. Riemann (1859) derived deeper results about the prime numbers by considering the zeta function in the complex variable. The famous Riemann …
