A new explicit expansion approach to Mersenne primes
Abstract
This paper first proves what the author called the Eight Levels Theorem and then highlights a new explicit expansion approach to Lucas-Lehmer primality test for Mersenne primes and gives a new criterion for Mersenne compositeness. Also, we prove four new combinatorial identities.
