Prime-value conjecture for the periodic-continued-fraction polynomials
Prime-value conjecture for the periodic-continued-fraction polynomials
Let be the polynomial sequence defined earlier in the paper, and let be a positive integer. Prime-value conjecture. For every positive integer , there are infinitely many such that is a prime number. If true, this would show that the condition on the exponent of in the second part of the paper's cited theorem cannot be dropped. The assertion is presented as an open conjecture and is distinct from the irreducibility conjecture, since it fixes and varies .
