Primes of the form $ax+by$ in certain intervals with small solutions
Abstract
Let be two relatively prime integers and the set of non-negative integers. For any non-negative integer , denote by the largest integer such that the equation has at most solutions. Let be the number of primes having at least solutions for (1) and the number of primes not exceeding . In this article, we prove that for a fixed integer with , For any non-negative and relatively prime integers , satisfying , we show that \begin{equation*} \pi_{\ell,a,b}>0.005\cdot \frac{1}{\ell+1}\frac{g_{\ell,a,b}}{\log g_{\ell,a,b}}. \end{equation*} Let be the number of primes having at most solutions for (1). For an integer and a large sufficiently integer with , we also prove that Moreover, if with , then we have \begin{equation*} \pi^{*}_{\ell,a,b}>\frac{\ell+0.02}{\ell+1}\frac{g_{\ell,a,b}}{\log g_{\ell,a,b}}. \end{equation*} These results generalize the previous ones of Chen and Zhu (2025), who established the results for the case .
