COMMENTS

Discriminant=-7. Binary quadratic forms ax^2 + bxy + cy^2 have discriminant d = b^2 - 4ac.

Consider sequences of primes produced by forms with -100<d<0, abs(b)<=a<=c and gcd(a,b,c)=1. When b is not zero, then there are two cases to consider: (1) nonnegative x and y, and (2) x and y any integers. These restrictions yield 203 sequences of prime numbers, which are organized by discriminant below.

The Mathematica function QuadPrimes2 is useful for finding the primes less than "lim" represented by the positive definite quadratic form ax^2 + bxy + cy^2 for any a, b and c satisfying a>0, c>0, and discriminant d<0. It does this by examining all x>=0 and y>=0 in the ellipse ax^2 + bxy + cy^2 <= lim. To find the primes generated by positive and negative x and y, compute the union of QuadPrimes2[a,b,c,lim] and QuadPrimes2[a,-b,c,lim]. - T. D. Noe, Sep 01 2009
