D.12.2.14 Atkin

Procedure from library atkins.lib (see atkins_lib).

Return:
1, if N is prime,
-1, if N is not prime,
0, if the algorithm is not applicable, since there are too few discriminants

Assume:
N is coprime to 6 and different from 1

Note:
K/2 is input for the procedure "disc",
K is input for the procedure "HilbertClassPoly",
B describes the number of recursions being calculated.
The basis of the algorithm is the following theorem:
Let N be an integer coprime to 6 and different from 1 and E be an ellipic curve modulo N.
Assume that we know an integer m and a point P of E(Z/NZ) satisfying the following conditions.
(1) There exists a prime divisor q of m such that q > (4-th root(N)+1)^2.
(2) m*P = O(E) = (0:1:0).
(3) (m/q)*P = (x:y:t) with t element of (Z/NZ)*.
Then N is prime.

Example:
 
LIB "atkins.lib";
ring R = 0,x,dp;
Atkin(7691,100,5);
==> -1
Atkin(3473,10,2);
==> -1
printlevel=1;
Atkin(10000079,100,2);
==> Set i = 0, n = 0 and N(i) = N(0)= 10000079.
==> pause>
==> List H of possibly suitable discriminants will be calculated.
==> H = -3,-4,-7,-8,-11,-12,-15,-16,-19,-20,-23,-24,-27,-28,-31,-32,-35,-36,-\

==> pause>
==> N(0) = 10000079 is divisible by 5.
==> pause>
==> N(0) = N = 10000079 and therefore N is not prime.
==> pause>
==> -1
