The library implements a Miller-Rabin test for primality:

These functions perform a Miller-Rabin test for primality, if the result
|
|
is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">false</span></code> then <span class="emphasis"><em>n</em></span>
|
|
is definitely composite, while if the result is true then n is probably prime.
|
|
The probability to declare a composite n as probable prime is at most 0.25<sup>trials</sup>.
|
|
Note that this does not allow a statement about the probability of n being
|
|
actually prime (for that, the prior probability would have to be known).
|
|
The algorithm used performs some trial divisions to exclude small prime factors,
|
|
does one Fermat test to exclude many more composites, and then uses the Miller-Rabin
|
|
algorithm straight out of Knuth Vol 2, which recommends 25 trials for a pretty
|
|
strong likelihood that <span class="emphasis"><em>n</em></span> is prime.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The third optional argument is for a Uniform Random Number Generator from
|
|
Boost.Random. When not provided the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">mt19937</span></code>
|
|
generator is used. Note that when producing random primes then you should
|
|
probably use a different random number generator to produce candidate prime
|
|
numbers for testing, than is used internally by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">miller_rabin_test</span></code>
|
|
for determining whether the value is prime. It also helps of course to seed
|
|
the generators with some source of randomness.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The following example searches for a prime <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">p</span></code>
|
|
for which <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">p</span><span class="special">-</span><span class="number">1</span><span class="special">)/</span><span class="number">2</span></code> is also probably prime:
