Abstract:

We define some new kinds of pseudoprimes to several bases, which generalize strong pseudoprimes. We call them Sylow $p$-pseudoprimes and elementary Abelian $p$-pseudoprimes. It turns out that every $n<10^{12},$ which is a strong pseudoprime to bases 2, 3 and 5, is not a Sylow $p$-pseudoprime to two of these bases for an appropriate prime $p|n-1.$ We also give examples of strong pseudoprimes to many bases which are not Sylow $p$-pseudoprimes to two bases only, where $p=2$ or $3.$
