Abstract:

Let $\mathcal {L}(x)$ denote the counting function for Lucas pseudoprimes, and $\mathcal {E}(x)$ denote the elliptic pseudoprime counting function. We prove that, for large x, $\mathcal {L}(x) \leq xL{(x)^{ - 1/2}}$ and $\mathcal {E}(x) \leq xL{(x)^{ - 1/3}}$, where \[ L(x) = \exp (\log x\log \log \log x/\log \log x).\]
