Twelve new primitive binary trinomials
Abstract
We exhibit twelve new primitive trinomials over GF(2) of record degrees 42643801, 43112609, and 74207281. In addition we report the first Mersenne exponent not ruled out by Swan's theorem - namely 57885161 - for which no primitive trinomial exists. This completes the search for the currently known Mersenne prime exponents.
