Carmichael function

In number theory, the Carmichael function associates to every positive integer n a positive integer \lambda(n), defined as the smallest positive integer m such that (Dropping the phrase "between 1 and n" leads to an equivalent definition.) In algebraic terms, \lambda(n) equals the exponent of the multiplicative group of integers modulo ''n''.

Carmichael number

In number theory, a Carmichael number is a composite number n which satisfies the modular arithmetic congruence relation: for all integers b which are relatively prime to n. They are named for Robert Carmichael.

Carmichael's theorem

In number theory, Carmichael's theorem, named after the American mathematician R.D. Carmichael, states that, for any nondegenerate Lucas sequence of the first kind Un(P,Q) with relatively prime parameters P, Q and positive discriminant, an element Un with n ≠ 1, 2, 6 has at least one prime divisor that does not divide any earlier one except the 12th Fibonacci number F(12).

In arithmetic and computer programming, the extended Euclidean algorithm is an extension to the Euclidean algorithm, and computes, in addition to the greatest common divisor of integers a and b, also the coefficients of Bézout's identity, which are integers x and y such that This is a certifying algorithm, because the gcd is the only number that can simultaneously satisfy this equation and divide the inputs.
