Fermat Number Applications and Fermat Neuron

This chapter presents Fermat numbers, and their applications to filtering, autocorrelation, and related areas with advantages over the conventional computing. This paper discusses the basic concepts of prime numbers like Mersenne primes and Fermat primes and their comparison for computing with advantage, modulo arithmetic, Galois field, and Chinese remainder theorem. It describes and applies transforms using these concepts and their advantages like fast computation with no round off or truncation errors. It also introduces a new paradigm in neural networks (NN), about the concept of Fermat neurons. This concept needs to be developed further, as it is promising for real-life applications.
