@article{CMP2003,
	author={R. E. Crandall and E. W. Mayer and J. S. Papadopoulos},
	title={The twenty-fourth {Fermat} number is composite},
	abstract={We have shown by machine proof that $F_{24} = 2^{2^{24}} + 1$ is composite.
		The rigorous P{\'e}pin primality test was performed using independently developed
		programs running simultaneously on two different, physically separated
		processors. Each program employed a floating-point, FFT-based discrete
		weighted transform (DWT) to effect multiplication modulo $F_{24}$. The
		final, respective P{\'e}pin residues obtained by these two machines were in
		complete agreement. Using intermediate residues stored periodically during
		one of the floating-point runs, a separate algorithm for pure-integer negacyclic
		convolution verified the result in a ``wavefront'' paradigm, by running
		simultaneously on numerous additional machines, to effect piecewise verification
		of a saturating set of deterministic links for the P{\'e}pin chain. We deposited
		a final P{\'e}pin residue for possible use by future investigators in the event
		that a proper factor of $F_{24}$ should be discovered; herein we report
		the more compact, traditional Selfridge-Hurwitz residues. For the sake
		of completeness, we also generated a P{\'e}pin residue for $F_{23}$, and via
		the Suyama test determined that the known cofactor of this number is composite.},
