Innumber theory, theparity problemrefers to a limitation insieve theorythat prevents sieves from giving good estimates in many kinds ofprime-counting problems. The problem was identified and named byAtle Selbergin 1949. Beginning around 1996,John FriedlanderandHenryk Iwaniecdeveloped some parity-sensitive sieves that m... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_problem_(sieve_theory) |
