This paper introduces two forms of modular inverses and proves their reciprocity formulas respectively. These formulas are then applied to formulate new and generalized algorithm for computing these modular inverses. The same algorithm is…
We give necessary conditions satisfied by the set of odd prime divisors of binary perfect polynomials. This allows us to get a new characterization of all the known perfect binary polynomials.
The purpose of this paper is to introduce basic concepts that are fundamental in the examination of composite moduli, while avoiding the notoriously difficult problem of prime-factorization. We introduce a new class of numbers, called…
We study three special Dirichlet series, two of them alternating, related to the Riemann zeta function. These series are shown to have extensions to the entire complex plane and we find their values at the negative integers (or residues at…
We pose 100 new conjectures on representations involving primes or related things, which might interest number theorists and stimulate further research. Below are five typical examples: (i) For any positive integer $n$, there exists…
It is significant to study congruences involving multiple harmonic sums. Let $p$ be an odd prime, in recent years, the following curious congruence $$\sum_{\substack{i+j+k=p \\ i, j, k>0}} \frac{1}{i j k} \equiv-2 B_{p-3}\pmod p$$ has been…
We prove explicit bounds for the number of sums of consecutive prime squares below a given magnitude.
An interplay between the sum of certain series related to Harmonic numbers and certain finite trigonometric sums is investigated. This allows us to express the sum of these series in terms of the considered trigonometric sums, and permits…
A classification of twin primes implies special twin primes. When applied to triplets, it yields exceptional prime number triplets. These generalize yielding exceptional prime number multiplets.
Let $q\geq 2$ and denote by $s_q$ the sum-of-digits function in base $q$. For $j=0,1,...,q-1$ consider $$# \{0 \le n < N : \;\;s_q(2n) \equiv j \pmod q \}.$$ In 1983, F. M. Dekking conjectured that this quantity is greater than $N/q$ and,…
In this paper, new refinements for integral and sum forms of H\"older inequality are established. We note that many existing inequalities related to the H\"older inequality can be improved via obtained new inequalities in here, we show this…
The problem of N-digit sets all permutations of which give primes is discussed. Such sets may include only digits 1, 3, 7 and 9, and none of 0, 2, 5, 4, 6, 8. Direct calculations show that such full-permutation digit sets occur at N = 1, 2,…
We evaluate some new three parameter families of finite reciprocal sums involving Horadam numbers. We will also be able to state the results for the infinite sums. Some Fibonacci and Lucas sums will be presented as examples.
The inequalities concern the sum of s powers of primes with non-integer exponent c>1. Here s =2,3,4,or 5. The equations are similar, taking integer part before summing; here s = 3 or 5. New ranges of c are found in all cases for which many…
We give a possible explanation for the mystery of a missing number in the statement of a problem that asks for the non-negative integers to be partitioned into three subsets. We interpret the missing number as one of the clues that can lead…
We improve the previuosly known bound for some vertex Folkman numbers.
In this paper, we make some conjectures on prime numbers that are sharper than those found in the current literature. First we describe our studies on Legendre's Conjecture which is still unsolved. Next, we show that Brocard's Conjecture…
Explicit determinations of several classes of trigonometric sums are given. These sums can be viewed as analogues or generalizations of Gauss sums. In a previous paper, two of the present authors considered primarily sine sums associated…
We consider finite iterated generalized harmonic sums weighted by the binomial $\binom{2k}{k}$ in numerators and denominators. A large class of these functions emerges in the calculation of massive Feynman diagrams with local operator…
Let ${\mathcal{P}_{n}}$ denote the set of positive integers which are prime to $n$. Let $B_{n}$ be the $n$-th Bernoulli number. For any prime $p\ge 5$ and $r\ge 2$, we prove that \begin{equation} \sum\limits_{\begin{smallmatrix}…
