A082595 Let QR be the set of quadratic residues mod n: QR = {x^2 mod n, 1 <= x <= n-1}. Let MR be the set of values taken by 2^x mod n: MR = {2^x mod n, 0 <= x <= n-2}. Usually if QR is a subset of MR then n is prime and otherwise n is composite. Sequence gives numbers that violate this rule, i.e., composites where QR is a subset of MR and primes where QR is not a subset of MR. 1

%C It seems (although it is far from proved) that except for 4 and 8, if the routine declares n a prime, then it is.

%e For n = 8, QR = {0, 1, 4} and MR = {0, 1, 2, 4}, so QR is a subset of MR, but 8 is not prime, so 8 is in the sequence.
