Abstract
For every positive integer k > 1, let P(k) be the largest prime divisor of k. Denote by Fn = 2²n + 1 the nth Fermat number and by Fn(a) = a²n + 1 the nth generalized Fermat number. Using the mesthod of [3], we obtain an improvement of the lower bound for the P(k) in the case k = Fn(a). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
