2Authored explanation

Didier and Laigle-Chapuy formulate low-weight multiple searches through discrete logarithms and time-memory tradeoffs. Peterlongo, Sala, and Tinnirello state the exact identity used here: if \(\alpha\) is a root of a primitive polynomial, then \[ Z_\alpha(i)=j\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad 1+\alpha^i=\alpha^j \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad p\mid1+x^i+x^j. \] Their heuristic critical-degree estimate for weight three is on the scale of \(2^{n/2}\). At \(n=61\), the requested upper bound lies in that birthday range. The estimate is statistical and supplies no finite exclusion.

Maitra, Gupta, and Venkateswarlu count sparse multiples of primitive polynomials and study their degree distribution. Giesbrecht, Roche, and Tilak place sparse multiples over finite fields in a broader algorithmic setting. Focused searches using the exact polynomial, its exponent set \(\{61,45,32,2,0\}\), degree-61 trinomial multiples, and Zech-logarithm tables found no source reporting the least pair for this polynomial.

A full run of the same bucket layout at \(2^{31}\) would require about 25.8 GB before allocator and operating-system overhead. A lower-memory completion could partition the high residue bits, make several sequential passes over the LFSR orbit, and preserve the same exponent tags and per-partition hashes. This entry makes no claim for \(268435456<b\leq2147483648\).
