Prime Numbers

I have an interest in Prime Numbers and am a member of the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) and the Riesel Prime Search (RPS). There is a list of Top-5000 prime numbers kept by Prof. Chris Caldwell and my Top-5000 prime entries are recorded here.

My main interest is in Riesel primes which are of the following form where k and n are positive integers.

k * 2 ^ n - 1

The following pages record all of the values of k and n that I have searched individually and the prime numbers that I have found. I have also taken part in joint searches with GIMPS and RPS.

A link indicates primes that were confirmed by me but that were originally discovered by someone else and are listed in the Top-5000 prime database.
