The Rabinowitsch-Mollin-Williams theorem revisited (Q1035174)

Summary: We completely classify all polynomials of type \((x^2+x - (\Delta - 1))/4\) which are prime or 1 for a range of consecutive integers \(x\geq 0\), called Rabinowitsch polynomials, where \(\Delta \equiv 1\pmod 4\) with \(\Delta >1\) square-free. This corrects, extends, and completes the results by Byeon and Stark via the use of an updated version of what Andrew Granville has dubbed the Rabinowitsch-Mollin-Williams Theorem by \textit{A. Granville} and the author [Acta Arith. 96, No. 2, 139--153 (2000; Zbl 0985.11040) and the author[Quadratics. Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press (1996; Zbl 0858.11001). Furthermore, we verify conjectures of this author and pose more based on the new data.
