摘要
A prime p satisfying the congruence 2(p-1) = 1 (mod p(2)) is called a Wieferich prime. Although the number of Wieferich primes is believed to be infinite, the only ones that have been discovered so far are 1093 and 3511. This paper describes a search for further solutions. The search was conducted via a large scale Internet based computation. The result that there are no new Wieferich primes less than 1.25.10(15) is reported.
