Woodall's conjecture

ID: woodall-s-conjecture

Woodall's conjecture is a statement in number theory related to prime numbers. It posits that for every positive integer \( n \), there exists a prime number that can be expressed in the form \( n \cdot 2^n - 1 \). The conjecture is named after mathematician Richard Woodall, who suggested it in the context of prime-generating formulas.
