Abstract:

We examine densities of several sets connected with the Fermat numbers Fm=22m+1. In particular, we prove that the series of reciprocals of all prime divisors of Fermat numbers is convergent. We also show that the series of reciprocals of elite primes is convergent. © 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).

Keywords: Fermat numbers; elite primes; sum of reciprocals; density.
