@article{CDP97,
author={R. Crandall and K. Dilcher and C. Pomerance},
title={A Search for {Wieferich} and {Wilson} Primes},
abstract={An odd prime $p$ is called a {\it Wieferich prime} if $$2^{p-1} \equiv 1 \pmod{p^2};$$ alternatively, a {\it Wilson prime} if $$(p-1)!\equiv -1 \pmod{p^2}.$$ To date the only known Wieferich primes are $p=1093$ and
$3511$, while the only known Wilson primes are $p=5, 13$, and $563$. We
report that there exist no new Wieferich primes $p\lt 4\times 10^12$, and
no new Wilson primes $p\lt 5\times 10^8$. It is elementary that both defining
congruences above hold merely $\pmod{p}$, and it is sometimes estimated
on heuristic grounds that the ''probability'' that $p$ is Wieferich (independently:
that $p$ is Wilson) is about $1/p$. We provide some statistical data relevant
to occurrences of small values of the pertinent Fermat and Wilson quotients
$\pmod{p}$.},
