Generalised Euclid–Mullin conjecture
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.
