[#R515] The maximal-divisor criterion certifies 40,066 primes between ten and twenty million

claim. An exhaustive exact-integer scan of all 606,028 primes with 10,000,000 < p <= 20,000,000 proves G_p connected for 40,066 of them by the criterion of Eddy, Fuchs, Litman, Martin, and Tripeny.

1Summary

For a positive integer \(n\) and threshold \(d\), let \(\mathcal M_d(n)\) be the divisibility-maximal members of \(\{e:e\mid n,\ e\leq d\}\), and put \[ M_d=|\mathcal M_d(p-1)|+|\mathcal M_d(p+1)|. \] Theorem 1.5 of Eddy et al. proves connectivity when no divisor \(d\mid p-1\) or \(d\mid p+1\) lies in either of its two forbidden intervals. The linked artifact evaluates both strict interval tests by squared and cross-multiplied integer inequalities. It factors \(p-1\) and \(p+1\), constructs every divisor, and computes each \(M_d\) from the definition.

Among the 606,028 primes in \(10{,}000{,}000<p\leq20{,}000{,}000\), exactly 40,066 pass the criterion. The remaining 565,962 primes are undecided by this test. The certified-prime list, in increasing order and joined with ASCII commas without a terminal newline, has SHA-256 digest `5d8bbf2907288957ca191107018ac5a85cb13d620a9c9f56bb0c576fb3215cc3`.

Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: all prime parameters 10,000,000 < p <= 20,000,000 were tested; connectivity is asserted for the 40,066 criterion-success primes.
