Abstract

Suppose that α,βR\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{R}. Let α1\alpha\geqslant1 and cc be a real number in the range 1<c<12/111<c< 12/11. In this paper, it is proved that there exist infinitely many primes in the generalized Piatetski--Shapiro sequence, which is defined by (αnc+β)n=1(\lfloor\alpha n^c+\beta\rfloor)_{n=1}^\infty. Moreover, we also prove that there exist infinitely many Carmichael numbers composed entirely of primes from the generalized Piatetski--Shapiro sequences with c(1,1913718746)c\in(1,\frac{19137}{18746}). The two theorems constitute improvements upon previous results by Guo and Qi.
