Equality

$V_{p}(a_{2}+1,a_{2})\equiv V_{1}(a_{2}+1,a_{2})$ is equal to $a_{2}^{p}\equiv a_{2}\mod p$

Proof:

$a={\frac {P+{\sqrt {P^{2}-4Q}}}{2}}$ and $b={\frac {P-{\sqrt {P^{2}-4Q}}}{2}}$

$P=(a_{2}+1)\$ and $Q=a_{2}\$

$a={\frac {(a_{2}+1)+{\sqrt {(a_{2}+1)^{2}-4a_{2}}}}{2}}={\frac {2a_{2}}{2}}=a_{2}$

$b={\frac {(a_{2}+1)-{\sqrt {(a_{2}+1)^{2}-4a_{2}}}}{2}}={\frac {2}{2}}=1$

Follows:

$V_{n}(a_{2}+1,a)=a_{2}^{n}+1\$

follows:

$V_{p}(a_{2}+1,a)-V_{1}(a_{2}+1,a)=a_{2}^{p}+1-(a_{2}+1)=a_{2}^{p}-a_{2}\$
