We describe an algorithm to determine whether or not a given system of congruences is satisfied by Cullen numbers. We use this algorithm to prove that there are infinitely many Cullen numbers which are both Riesel and Sierpiński. (Such numbers should be discarded if you are searching prime numbers with Proth's theorem.)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
