Computation for Proposition 3(II) - cases when L is a Mersenne prime

At first, we [search] such cases in the range of p<263, [another computation log].
Pairs (L, e) in the next table was found.

*1: L = 22 - 1 = 3 is a unique Mersenne prime in which 2 is a primitive root modulo L.
*2: Since Pe = ∅ for e = 1, ¬(2|H-p) holds theoretically by Proposition 4.
*3: Since p(=97) ∈ Pe, computation for the case had been included in the computer-assisted proof of Theorem.
*4: Although the method of Lemma 1(II) could be used for the cases, the method of Lemma 1(I) was employed because the degree of the polynomials is small. [computation]
*5: Computations for the cases are included in the [search].
*6: Computations for the cases are divided into many sub jobs and each sub job was executed in a thread of CPU in about 10 personal computers.
*7: Computations in gray cells needs very large amount of computation. They are not computed in this work.
