Dear Jack & all,

I checked it, congratulations!
Seek and you will find!

Conjecture: if p is a prime,
then there exists n such that (p+1)2^n-1 is prime.

Theorem: if, for every prime p,
(p+1)2^n-1 is prime for some n > 0,
then it is prime for infinitely many n.
We already know the proof of this conditional theorem.

By the dual Riesel conjecture;
if p is an odd prime, and an integer m > 0,
then there exists n such that (p+2^m)2^n-1 is prime.
Note: we consider the case of m = 0 separately.

By the dual Sierpinski conjecture;
if p is an odd prime, and an integer m > 0,
then there exists n such that (p-2^m)2^n+1 is prime.
Note: if m = 0, then p <> 2^(2^4)+1 the last Fermat primes.

Generally (both of these dual conjectures in one):
if p is an odd prime, and an integer m > 0,
then there exists n such that
|(p+/-2^m)2^n-/+1| is prime.

Exactly!

Thomas Ordowski
