Some Properties and Algorithms for Twin Primes

In this article, we study some new properties of twin primes and algorithms for their generation. We find the necessary conditions to generate a pair of twins. These conditions seem to indicate that the conjecture is true, namely, there are infinitely many twin primes. Furthermore, we developed some algorithms that are very useful from a computer science point of view, which can be applied in cryptography and data encryption.

Abstract

In this article, we study some new properties of twin primes and algorithms for their generation. We find the necessary conditions to generate a pair of twins. These conditions seem to indicate that the conjecture is true, namely, there are infinitely many twin primes. Furthermore, we developed some algorithms that are very useful from a computer science point of view, which can be applied in cryptography and data encryption.
