The weighted vector-composition prime criterion
The weighted vector-composition prime criterion
Let , let denote the nonnegative integers, and let . For , define
Let denote the -weighted vector-composition coefficient. Weighted vector-composition prime criterion. If for every , then an integer is prime if and only if divides
for every integer satisfying . This proposed criterion extends the Mann–Shanks prime criterion from integer compositions to weighted vector compositions; its status is not established in the supplied text.
