1-Introduction:

A conjecture is a mathematical statement that is believed to be true but cannot be called a theorem as long as every attempt at a proof has failed...

The most beautiful recent example was Andrew Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem in 1994, which had resisted the greatest mathematicians since the 17th century.

Many important conjectures are currently "pending". Such is the case for Goldbach's Conjecture -GC- and the Twin Prime Conjecture -TPC-.

For a given conjecture, as long as no correct proof has been found, it is possible to try to disprove it by finding a counterexample, when that makes sense. This is not the case for the TPC, since no longer finding pairs of twin primes would in no way prove that, by searching much further, new pairs would not appear. On the other hand, for GC, discovering an even number greater than 2 that is not the sum of two primes would obviously prove that GC is false. Unfortunately, if such a number exists, the likelihood of it being within our reach is practically zero (in fact, all integers are enormous, indeed unimaginable, except, of course, the small ones we use in everyday life...).

But even if the search for a counterexample may sometimes seem futile, it can nevertheless be useful by revealing relevant information about a given topic and this is the case for Gilbreath's Conjecture and prime numbers...




2-Definition:

This conjecture was stated in 1958 by Norman L. Gilbreath [02] but published earlier in 1878 by François Proth [03]. It is related to the prime numbers and to the sequences generated by taking the absolute value of the difference between each prime number and its successor and then repeating this process ad infinitum [04]:

The conjecture states that the first value of each line is 1 (except the first one where it is a 2 -the only even prime number-) and was studied by Andrew Odlyzko in 1993. He did check it for all prime numbers less than 1013.

On sunday 10/05/2025 20:45 (Paris time, France) I did succeed to check it up to 1014 and on tuesday 10/07/2025 02:25 pm (East Time), Simon Plouffe (Canada) did the same. Moreover he did confirm the maximal value (693) of the G(Pi(x)) [05] function with x [2,1014] that was anticipated on 09/25/2025.


Here are some visualizations of this process including some absolute records (first column (left): the difference signs, second column: the difference of the absolute values and third column: the differences):


x =

x =       G(Pi(6.1500x1014))=800 -absolute record-  
x =       G(Pi(1.0025x1015))=806 -absolute record-  
x =       G(Pi(1.2075x1015))=809 -absolute record-  
x =       G(Pi(1.2125x1015))=811 -absolute record-


with the following colors regarding the numbers on the third column pictures:
                    0 = Dark Cyan,
                     
                    -1 = Dark Orange,
                    +1 = Light Orange,
                     
                    -2 = Dark Green,
                    +2 = Light Green,
                     
                    when all other numbers -{3,4,5,6,7,8,...}- are Grey (Dark and Light Grey respectively for the negative and positive numbers).
When the first used prime number is 2, according to the Proth-Gilbreath Conjecture, in the middle pictures, the left-hand side column must be Cyan ('1') except the square at the very top that is Light Yellow ('2', the first prime number).

One can notice the yellow squares are defining monodimensional binary cellular automata.


Here are some more visualizations of this process with possibly relative records:


G(Pi(1.6931x1015))=969 -relative record-  
G(Pi(6.0213x1027))=1935 -relative record-  
 





3-The Theory:

Obviously one cannot check the Proth-Gilbreath Conjecture for there is an infinity of prime numbers. Only a demonstration can solve this unless a counter-example is discovered, that is a line not starting with a '1' (except the first one).

Let pn be the prime numbers:
                    p1=2
                    p2=3
                    p3=5
                    etc...
Let's define the suite dk(n):
                    d0(n) = pn for all n such as n > 0
                    dk(n) = |dk-1(n) - dk-1(n+1)| for all k such as k > 0 and for all n such as n > 0
Then one must check that:
                    dk(1) = 1 for all k such as k > 0

Due to the finite limits of computers, it is impossible to exhaustively check this property. Fortunately Andrew Odlyzko noticed that if for a certain N there exists K such that:
                    dK(1) = 1
                    dK(n)  {0,2} for all n such as 0 < n < N+1
then:
                    dk(1) = 1 for all k such as K-1 < k < N+K

Let's call G(N) the smallest k (if it exists) such that:
                    dj(1) = 1, 0 < j < k+1
                    dk(n)  {0,2} for all n such as 0 < n < N+1
A trivial reasoning shows that G(N) does exist for all N and that the process can be stopped as soon as there are only '0's, '1's and '2's on the current line of rank k. For example:

4-The Computation:

In 1993, Andrew Odlyzko verified this for all prime numbers less than 1013. On Sunday, August 10, 2025, Jean-Paul Delahaye suggested to me "a fine calculation", nontrivial but seemingly feasible: the idea was to go beyond 1013 and reach, for example, 1014... On paper, the task is simple: one merely has to follow the example above, but instead of stopping at 71, go past 1013. It is clear that computers can neither store nor handle such a vast quantity of numbers. The idea, therefore, is to work in successive blocks, each of a size compatible with the machines being used. However, this subdivision cannot be done naïvely, as can be seen by cutting the previous example into two blocks:
                              2    3    5    7   11   13   17   19   23   29                                                31   37   41   43   47   53   59   61   67   71
                              1    2    2    4    2    4    2    4    6                                                      6    4    2    4    6    6    2    6    4
                              1    0    2    2    2    2    2    2                                                           2    2    2    2    0    4    4    2
                                                                                                                             0    0    0    2    4    0    2
                                                                                                                             0    0    2    2    4    2
                                                                                                                             0    2    0    2    2
Obviously, the difference 31-29 is missing. Jean-Paul Delahaye then suggested that the blocks should not be disjoint, but should partially overlap as follows, based on an estimated G (taken as 5 below):

One might note that this overlap of 5 numbers significantly increases the number of computations. In fact, this is true in this example, where each block contains only 10 numbers. But the calculations that will be carried out to break the 1993 record will use much larger blocks (generally of size 107), and even if the overlap used is larger (typically around 1000), the number of additional computations due to the overlaps remains relatively very small.

As for the choice of overlap size, it was guided by the results published in 1993 by Andrew Odlyzko:
                    x        Pi(x)               G(Pi(x))
 
                    102                25          5
                    103               168         15
                    104              1229         35
                    105              9592         65
                    106             78498         95
                    107            664579        135
                    108           5761455        175
                    109          50847534        248
                    1010        455052511        329
                    1011       4118054813        417

                    1013     346065536839        635
where 'x' is the last integer tested (the last prime number being strictly less than x), 'Pi(x)' is the number of prime numbers in [1,x], and finally 'G(Pi(x))' gives us the minimum overlap size.



The Hardware:


Six computers are used [06]: on the one hand, five computing servers ("C") that perform the actual calculations, and on the other hand, a PC called the "Supervisor" ("S") that manages the distribution of the various computations among the servers. All these machines run under Linux and are connected to an NFS file server. The configurations below indicate, in order, the maximal number of processors [07], the memory capacity in GB [08], and finally a performance index [09]:


The programs:


A set of programs designed to run on Linux computers has been written:




5-The Results:

The first computations started on saturday 09/20/2025 at 11:14:28 and then were suspended a few days due to the unavailability of the computing servers.

The final computation was completed [13] on Sunday, 10/05/2025, at 20:59:18 p.m. (Paris time, France), as I reported in an email to Jean-Paul Delahaye at 10:36:20 p.m., informing him of the end of the final stage (which concerned the prime numbers from 75,000,000,000,000 to 100,000,000,000,000). This confirmed an email I had sent him earlier, on 09/25/2025, at 7:17:47 a.m.:

Bonne nouvelle: G(Pi(2x1013))=693

which indicated that G(Pi(1014)) would be greater than or equal to 693. Therefore, on 10/05/2025, at 20:59:18 p.m., I was able to state:

G(Pi(1014))=693

The record held by Andrew Odlyzko since 1993 had been broken! Simon Plouffe [14] announced on tuesday 10/07/2025, at 02:25 p.m. (Eastern Time) that he had also found G(Pi(1014))=693, more than 24 hours after me... It is very important to note that Simon Plouffe and I did not use the same methods or the same programs [15]. The fact that we both obtained the same result independently guarantees the accuracy of the value 693.


Here are some data regarding the processor usage during the first record computation:



The computation currently continues beyond 1x1014 and starting on 11/10/2025 is inside [3x1014,10x1014]. New records appear:

Obviously, the overall trend is towards groth, but very very slowy...

The computation up to 1.5x1015 was interrupted at that date, whereas it could have continued for billions and billions of years (and much, much longer after the transition from 64 to 128 bits...)!

A small remark: 1015 (or more...) may seem like an enormous value, but in fact it is not. Indeed, all integers are unimaginable, inaccessible,... except for the first ones, obviously. Yet the same is true of the prime numbers, since their set is infinite. Thus, if there exists a counter example to the Proth-Gilbreath conjecture, the probability that it is accessible is most certainly almost zero.

8-The Prime Gaps:



Simultaneously the primes gaps were computed and possibly associated with the absolute or relative records obtained [01]:
