The Riesel problem consists in determining the smallest Riesel number.

Explanations

In 1956, Hans Riesel showed that there are an infinite number of integers k such that k•2n-1 is not prime for any integer n. He showed that the number k = 509,203 has this property. It is conjectured that this k is the smallest such number that has this property. To prove this, it suffices to show that there exists a value n such that k•2n-1 is prime for each k < 509,203.

Currently there are -1 k-values smaller than 509,203 that have no known prime which are reserved by the PrimeGrid Riesel Problem search.

Frequencies

Definition

Let fm define the number of k-values (k < 509,203, odd k, 254,601 candidates) with a first prime of k•2n-1 with n in the interval 2m ≤ n < 2m+1 [1].

Data table

The following table shows the current available k-values in this Wiki and the targeted values shown by W.Keller for any m ≤ 23.
