Let
and

Let
be an odd composite
number with

with
odd and

If

for some

then
is called a strong Lucas pseudoprime with parameters
.
A strong Lucas pseudoprime is a Lucas pseudoprime to the same base. Arnault (1997) showed that any composite
number
is a strong Lucas pseudoprime for at most 4/15 of possible bases (unless
is the product of twin
primes having certain properties).
