Generalised Euclid–Mullin conjecture
Let satisfy
Let be the class of polynomials introduced in the paper, and let and denote the first and second generalised Euclid–Mullin sequences associated to , obtained by choosing the smallest and largest eligible prime, respectively. Generalised Euclid–Mullin conjecture. (i) There exists such that contains every prime . (ii) For every , omits infinitely many primes . The conjecture generalises the expected behaviour of Mullin's original sequences in prescribed arithmetic progressions. The supplied text does not establish either assertion or provide a resolution status beyond presenting them as conjectures.
