Define $s (n) := n^{- 1} \sigma (n)$ ($\sigma (n):=\sum_{d|n}d )$ and $\omega(n)$ is the number of prime divisors of $n$. One of the properties of $s$ plays a central role: $s (p^a) > s (q^b)$ if $p < q$ are prime numbers, with no special…

For any natural number $n$, let $X'_n$ be the set of primitive Dirichlet characters modulo $n$. We show that if the Riemann hypothesis is true, then the inequality $|X'_{2n_k}|\le C_2 e^{-\gamma} \phi(2n_k)/\log\log(2n_k)$ holds for all…

For sufficiently large n Ramanujan gave a sufficient condition for the truth Robin's InEquality $X(n):=\frac{\sigma(n)}{n\ln\ln n}<e^{\gamma}$ (RIE). The largest known violation of RIE is $n_8=5040$. In this paper Robin's multipliers are…

Nicolas inequality we deal can be written as \begin{equation}\label{Nicineq} e^\gamma \log\log N_x < \dfrac{N_x}{\varphi(N_x)}\,, \end{equation} where $x\ge 2$, $N_x$ denotes the product of the primes less or equal than $x$, $\gamma$ is the…

A work by Nicolas has shown that if it can be proven that a certain inequality holds for all $n$, the Riemann hypothesis is true. This inequality is associated with the Mertens theorem, and hence the Euler totient at $\prod_{k=1}^n p_k$,…

We consider the function $G(n)=\frac{\sigma(n)}{n\log\log n}$ (where $\sigma(n)=\sum_{d|n}d$) and set an imposed condition on its argument $n$, the fulfillment of which is sufficient for the existence of a prime $p$, at which $G(np)>G(n)$.…

In this article, we investigate the existence and multiplicity of solutions to the Robin problem \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u = \lambda f(u) & \text{in } \Omega, \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} + \gamma u=0 & \text{on }…

The equilateral triangle is one of the few planar domains where the Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalue problems were explicitly determined, by Lam\'e in 1833, despite not admitting separation of variables. In this paper, we study the Robin…

Under the Riemann Hypothesis, we prove for any natural number $r$ there exist infinitely many large natural numbers $n$ such that $(\gamma_{n+r}-\gamma_n)/(2\pi /\log \gamma_n) > r + \Theta\sqrt{r}$ and $(\gamma_{n+r}-\gamma_n)/(2\pi /\log…

We provide new, elementary proofs that Robin's inequality and the Lagarias inequality hold for almost every number, including all numbers not divisible by one of the prime numbers $2$, $3$, $5$; all primorials; given $k$ a natural number,…

By modifying Beukers' proof of Apery's theorem that zeta(3) is irrational, we derive criteria for irrationality of Euler's constant, gamma. For n > 0, we define a double integral I(n) and a positive integer S(n), and prove that if d(n) =…

We prove the following result: Let $N \geq 2$ and assume the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) holds. Then \[ \sum_{n=1}^{N} R(n) =\frac{N^{2}}{2} -2 \sum_{\rho} \frac{N^{\rho + 1}}{\rho (\rho + 1)} + O(N \log^{3}N), \] where $\rho=1/2+i\gamma$ runs…

Let \sigma(n) = \sum_{d \mid n}d be the usual sum-of-divisors function. In 1933, Davenport showed that that n/\sigma(n) possesses a continuous distribution function. In other words, the limit D(u):= \lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{1}{x}\sum_{n \leq…
