Overview ¶
Package mersenne collects utilities related to Mersenne numbers[1] and/or some of their properties.
Exponent ¶
In this documentation the term 'exponent' refers to 'n' of a Mersenne number Mn equal to 2^n-1. This package supports only uint32 sized exponents. New() currently supports exponents only up to math.MaxInt32 (31 bits, up to 256 MB required to represent such Mn in memory as a big.Int).

Functions ¶
func FromFactorBigInt ¶
FromFactorBigInt returns n such that d | Mn if n <= max and d is odd. In other cases zero is returned.
It is conjectured that every odd d ∊ N divides infinitely many Mersenne numbers. The returned n should be the exponent of smallest such Mn.
NOTE: The computation of n from a given d performs roughly in O(n). It is thus highly recomended to use the 'max' argument to limit the "searched" exponent upper bound as appropriate. Otherwise the computation can take a long time as a large factor can be a divisor of a Mn with exponent above the uint32 limits.
The FromFactorBigInt function is a modification of the original Will Edgington's "reverse method", discussed here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/primenumbers/message/15061
func HasFactorBigInt ¶
HasFactorBigInt returns true if d | Mn, d > 0. Typical run time for a 128 bit factor and a 32 bit exponent is < 75 µs.
func HasFactorBigInt2 ¶
HasFactorBigInt2 returns true if d | Mn, d > 0
func HasFactorUint32 ¶
HasFactorUint32 returns true if d | Mn. Typical run time for a 32 bit factor and a 32 bit exponent is < 1 µs.
func HasFactorUint64 ¶
HasFactorUint64 returns true if d | Mn. Typical run time for a 64 bit factor and a 32 bit exponent is < 30 µs.
func Mod ¶
Mod sets mod to n % Mexp and returns mod. It panics for exp == 0 || exp >= math.MaxInt32 || n < 0.
func ModPow ¶
ModPow returns b^Me % Mm. Run time grows quickly with 'e' and/or 'm' when b != 2 (then ModPow2 is used).
func ModPow2 ¶
ModPow2 returns x such that 2^Me % Mm == 2^x. It panics for m < 2. Typical run time is < 1 µs. Use instead of ModPow(2, e, m) wherever possible.
func ProbablyPrime ¶
ProbablyPrime returns true if Mn is prime or is a pseudoprime to base a. Note: Every Mp, prime p, is a prime or is a pseudoprime to base 2, actually to every base 2^i, i ∊ [1, p). In contrast - it is conjectured (w/o any known counterexamples) that no composite Mp, prime p, is a pseudoprime to base 3.
