Explanation
Chris Nash gave a weight to show the number of remaining values of k•2n+1 after sieving the range 100000 < n < 110000 after performing a Nash sieve with a (default) exponent limit of 256.
Need a deeper mathematical info.
A later definition was also done for k•2n-1.
Download
The nash tool for Windows-based systems can be found here written by Thomas Ritschel.
It can be used for every sequence k•bn-1 and k•bn+1 without limitations of the k-value.
Usage
Typing
nash
will show some help:
nash - a tool for computing Nash weights for sequences k*b^n+-1 usage: nash <k> <b> or: nash <k> If no base <b> is given, b=2 is assumed. By default Proth sequences (k*b^n+1) are assumed. For Riesel sequences (k*b^n-1) enter k as -k. Example (computing the Nash weight for 14*17^n-1): nash -14 17 -14 17 803 800 The first two values are k and b, the third value (803) is the standard Nash weight for the interval 100000 <= n < 110000. The forth value is the Nash weight for 0 <= n < 10000.
Enhancement
A newer tool called "MNash" adds the possibility to search for a k-range and also checks for special NashWeight ranges given.
Download the tool here including some examples.
