version: 1.1, 13 June 2002
(Version history at end of document.)
author: john.a.stockton@btopenworld.com
Comments, suggestions, bug reports -- all welcome.
purpose: Suite of functions to assist exploring the prime integers to
High(Cardinal), ie. up to 4,294,967,295. Includes an
efficient
primality test combining factorisation and SPRP approaches,
implemented (almost) entirely in Pascal.
licence: Free for non-commercial use.
A postcard would be very much appreciated from commercial
users (royalty cheques also gratefully received - if your
conscience gets the better of you).
***************************************************************************
NOTE: The StrongProbablePrime and WeakProbablePrime functions depend on an
ancillary function, MulMod. MulMod is a kludge that uses an
assembler
shortcut. It might not work on all compilers. It has been tested on
Delphi 5 (dcc32 v13.0) and Delphi 6 (dcc32 v14.0).
The current implementation of MulMod is also prone to trigger #DE
exceptions (expressed as EIntOverflow by Delphi), for large values
of
B in calls to StrongProbablePrime and WeakProbablePrime. A slower,
but
safe version of the function is included in a comment.

*** }
function IsPrime(Nmbr: Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if Nmbr is prime, False otherwise. }
function StrongProbablePrime(N, B: Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if N is a strong probable prime (SPRP) base B. False if N is
composite, or if either N or B < 2.
SPRP base B - Write:
N - 1 = 2^s * d, with s >= 0 and d odd,
then N is probably prime if either:
B^d = 1 (mod N), or
(B^d)^(2^r) = -1 (mod N), for 0 <= r < s. }
function WeakProbablePrime(N, B: Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if N is a probable prime (PRP) base N. False if N is composite,
or if either N or B < 2.
PRP base B - If B^(N-1) = 1 (mod N), then N is probably prime. }
function Pseudoprime(N, B: Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if N is a PRP base B, but composite. }
function StrongPseudoprime(N, B: Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if N is a SPRP base B, but composite. }
function IsComposite(Nmbr: Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if Nmbr is composite. This isn't equivalent to not IsPrime(Nmbr),
because 0 and 1 are neither prime nor composite. }
function NextPrime(Nmbr: Cardinal): Cardinal;
{ Returns the first prime greater than Nmbr, or 0 if the search exceeds
MaxPrime. }
function PreviousPrime(Nmbr: Cardinal): Cardinal;
{ Returns the greatest prime less than Nmbr, or 0 if no such prime
exists. }
function RandomPrime(Range: Cardinal): Cardinal;
{ Returns a random prime, X, such that 2 <= X < Range for Range > 2.
As with the system function Random, initialise the random number
generator
by calling Randomize, or assigning a value to RandSeed.
Returns 0 for Range <= 2. }
function IsJuniorTwin(Nmbr: Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if Nmbr and Nmbr + 2 are both prime, ie. if they form a 'twin
pair'.
False if either are composite, or if Nmbr >= MaxPrime. }
function IsSeniorTwin(Nmbr: Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if Nmbr and Nmbr - 2 form a twin pair. }
function GapToNextPrime(Nmbr: Cardinal): Cardinal;
{ Returns the gap to the next prime, where Gap = NextPrime - Nmbr.
Returns 0 if the next prime exceeds MaxPrime. }
function CountPrimesInRange(P, Q: Cardinal): Cardinal;
{ Returns the count of primes, X, that satisfy P <= X <= Q. }
function RangeContainsPrime(P, Q: Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if there is at least one prime, X, that satisfies P <= X <= Q.
Equivalent to CountPrimesInRange(P, Q) > 0, but faster. }
function IsPrimeFactor(Nmbr, Fctr: Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if Fctr is prime, and a factor of Nmbr. }
function GetPrimeFactors(Nmbr: Cardinal; var Fctrs: TPrimeFactorArray): Boolean;
{ True if Nmbr is greater than one. Fctrs will contain Nmbr's prime
factors
in TPrime records such that p = the factor, q = exponent that p is
raised
to in factorization of Nmbr. It is not necessary to initialise the array
referenced by Fctrs, it will be dynamically sized as required.
False if Nmbr is less than two. }
function CountPrimeFactors(Nmbr: Cardinal): Word;
{ Equivalent to summing exponents after a call to GetPrimeFactors.
However,
this function does not require memory for storing the factors and is
faster
if you only need to know how many factors there are. }
function CountUniqueFactors(Nmbr: Cardinal): Word;
{ Equivalent to Length(Fctrs) after a call to GetPrimeFactors, but
faster. }
function LeastPrimeFactor(Nmbr: Cardinal): Cardinal;
{ Returns the smallest prime factor of Nmbr. 0 if Nmbr is less than 2.
If you're only interested in the least prime factor of Nmbr, this
function
is faster than calling GetPrimeFactors and then examining Fctrs[0]. }
function GreatestPrimeFactor(Nmbr: Cardinal): Cardinal;
{ Returns the greatest prime factor of Nmbr. 0 if Nmbr is less than 2.
As with LeastPrimeFactors, this function is faster than calling
GetPrimeFactors and then examining Fctrs[High(Fctrs)]. }
function GreatestCommonDivisor(P, Q: Cardinal): Cardinal; overload;
{ Returns the greatest common divisor of P and Q, ie. the largest integer
that divides them both. }
function GreatestCommonDivisor(Nmbrs: array of Cardinal): Cardinal;
overload;
{ Returns the greatest common divisor of the elements of Nmbrs, ie. the
largest integer that divides them all.
Returns 0 if Nmbrs has less than two elements. }
function LeastCommonMultiple(P, Q: Cardinal): Int64; overload;
{ Returns the lowest positive integer that both P and Q divide. Returns 0
if
either P or Q are 0. }
function LeastCommonMultiple(Nmbrs: array of Cardinal): Int64; overload;
{ Returns the lowest positive integer that can be divided by all elements
of
Nmbrs. Returns 0 if any element of Nmbrs is 0, or if Nmbrs has less than
2 elements.
Note: The LCM of even a small collection of integers can be surprisingly
large, and neither version of this function makes any effort to
deal
with overflows beyond High(Int64). Use with caution. }
function AreRelativelyPrime(P, Q: Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if P and Q are relatively prime, ie. their greatest common divisor
is
one. }
function AreMutuallyPrime(Nmbrs: array of Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if the elements of Nmbrs are mutually relatively prime, ie. if
there
is no integer that divides them all (other than one).
False if Nmbrs are not mutually relatively prime, or if Nmbrs has less
than
two elements. }
function ArePairwisePrime(Nmbrs: array of Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if the elements of Nmbrs are pairwise relatively prime, ie. if
every
unique pairing of elements in Nmbrs is relatively prime.
False if Nmbrs are not pairwise relatively prime, or if Nmbrs has less
than
two elements. }
function GetGoldbachPairs(Nmbr: Cardinal; var Primes: TPrimeArray): Boolean;
{ True if Nmbr is even and greater than 2. The Primes array will be
populated
with the low members of all prime pairs that satisfy P1 + P2 = Nmbr.
False if Nmbr is odd or 2. The length of Pairs will be 0. }
function CountGoldbachPairs(Nmbr: Cardinal): Cardinal;
{ If Nmbr is even and greater than 2, returns the number of prime pairs
that
satisfy P1 + P2 = Nmbr. Equivalent to Length(Primes) after a call to
GetGoldbachPairs, but faster and without the memory overhead.
0 if Nmbr is odd or 2 (or if Nmbr refutes Goldbach's Conjecture). }
function IsGoldbachPair(P, Q: Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if both P and Q are prime, and P + Q is even and greater than 2. }
function HasGoldbachPair(Nmbr: Cardinal): Boolean;
{ True if Nmbr is even, greater than two and is the sum of two primes, in
at
least one way. Equivalent to CountGoldbachPairs(Nmbr) > 0, but much
faster. }

***
To
do ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Any suggestions?
v1.1, 13 June
2002 --------------------------------------------------------
Additions:
function WeakProbablePrime
function PseudoPrime
function StrongPseudoprime
function RandomPrime
Changes:
01 Moved IsPrime's declaration to make it more obvious.
02 MulMod: Promoted so WeakProbablePrime can use it.
03 Mulmod: 'Safe' version re-written to permit SPRP and PRP with large
bases.
04 IsPrime: Shortened the prime factor list. The shorter list seems to
be more efficient in combination with the SPRP tests.
05 IsPrime: Scrapped the restriction that (trial factor) <= Sqrt(Nmbr).
With the short prime factor list, calculating Trunc(Sqrt(Nmbr))
is an unwarranted overhead. Also replaced the while loop with a
repeat until loop, because it looks neater and doesn't damage
performance.
v1.0, 12 June
2002 --------------------------------------------------------
Original release. }
