Title
Counting primes in residue classes.
Abstract
We explain how the Meissel- Lehmer- Lagarias- Miller- Odlyzko method for computing pi( x) can be used for computing efficiently pi(x; k; l), the number of primes congruent to l modulo k up to x. As an application, we computed the number of prime numbers of the form 4n +/- 1 less than x for several values of x up to 10(20) and found a new region where pi( x; 4; 3) is less than pi( x; 4; 1) near x = 10(18).
