Strange and pseudo-differentiable functions with applications to prime partitions
Abstract
Let denote the number of partitions of into -full primes. We use the Hardy-Littlewood circle method to find the asymptotic of as . This extends previous results in the literature of partitions into primes. We also show an analogue result involving convolutions of von Mangoldt functions and the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. To handle the resulting non-principal major arcs we introduce the definition of strange functions and pseudo-differentiability.
