Problems with Miller Rabin Test
posted on: 7/19/2006 5:17:07 AM

Hello,
I'm a italian student and I search a correctness proof of Miller rabin test. I read from a paper :

A primality test is a prediacate T(n,a) where 1<=a <n with the following properties
1) the number n is composite iff T(n,a) holds for some a
2) T(n,a) can be efficently computed
3) when n is composite, let L(n) be the set of integers for which T(n,a) does not hold, then #L(n) / n-1 <= 1/2

Now, if I have the miller-rabin's predicate MR(n,a) defined as:

MR(n,a) = {a^m<>1 mod n and a^{m*2^v}<>1 mod n for any 0<=v< k } with n-1 = m * 2^k where m is odd

How show that MR(n,a) holds necessity of first property ?

Excuse me for my english :-)
Thanks.
