Abstract

The results for the fractional sequence {[x/n]+1:nx}\left \{[x/n]+1:n \leq x\right \}, and the fractional sequence in arithmetic progression {q[x/n]+a:nx}\left \{q[x/n]+a:n \leq x\right \}, where a<qa<q are integers such that gcd(a,q)=1\gcd(a,q)=1, prove that these sequences of fractional numbers contain the set of primes, and the set primes in arithmetic progressions as xx \to \infty respectively. Furthermore, the corresponding error terms for these sequences are improved. Other results considered are the fractional sequences of integers such as the sequence {[x/n]2+1:nx}\left \{[x/n]^2+1:n \leq x\right \} generated by the quadratic polynomial n2+1n^2+1, and the sequence {[x/n]3+2:nx}\left \{[x/n]^3+2:n \leq x\right \} generated by the cubic polynomial n3+2n^3+2. It is shown that each of these sequences of fractional numbers contains infinitely many primes as xx \to \infty.
