Given the Galois field GF (n) where n is odd we may partition the pairs (g,g + 1) where g,g + 1 EGF(n), g(g + 1) ~ 0 into four classes as follows: RR denotes the class of such pairs for which both g and g + 1 are squares in GF(n), RN the pairs for which g is a square and g + 1 a nonsquare, NR the pa
