A prime number
is called
-elite if only finitely many generalized Fermat
numbers
are quadratic residues modulo
. Let
be a prime. Write
with
and
odd. Define the length of the
b-Fermat period of to be the minimal natural
number
such that
Recently Müller and Reinhart derived three
conjectures on
-elite primes, two of them being the following. (1) For every natural number
there
is a
-elite prime. (2) There are generalized elite primes with elite periods of arbitrarily large lengths. We
extend Müller and Reinhart's observations and computational results to further support above two conjectures. We
show that Conjecture 1 is true for
and that for every possible length
there actually exists a generalized elite prime with elite period length
.
