A Python library implementing state-of-the-art primality testing algorithms, starting with the AKS (Agrawal-Kayal-Saxena) primality test.

This repository contains implementations of various primality testing algorithms with a focus on theoretical significance and practical applications. The AKS primality test is the first deterministic polynomial-time algorithm for testing primality.

• AKS Primality Test: First deterministic polynomial-time primality test
• Comprehensive Documentation: Detailed explanations of algorithms and mathematical foundations
• Performance Analysis: Benchmarking and complexity analysis
• Examples and Tutorials: Step-by-step examples demonstrating algorithm usage

pip install -e .

from primes.aks import AKSPrimalityTest

# Create an instance of the AKS test
aks = AKSPrimalityTest()

# Test if a number is prime
result = aks.is_prime(31)
print(f"31 is prime: {result}")  # True

# Get detailed step-by-step execution
result_detailed = aks.is_prime_detailed(31)
print(result_detailed)

• Time Complexity: O(log^6 n) (theoretical), optimized versions available
• Space Complexity: O(log^3 n)
• Deterministic: Yes
