Suppose P is a set of primes, such that for every p in P, every prime factor of p-1 is also in P. If P does not contain all primes, we apply a new sieve method to show that the counting function of P is O(x^{1-c}) for some c>0, where c…

In a previous paper, an implementable algorithm was introduced to compute discrete solutions of sweeping processes (i.e. specific first order differential inclusions). The convergence of this numerical scheme was proved thanks to…

We state a general purpose algorithm for quickly finding primes in evenly divided sub-intervals. Legendre's conjecture claims that for every positive integer $n$, there exists a prime between $n^2$ and $(n+1)^2$. Oppermann's conjecture…

We present the first algorithm for computing class groups and unit groups of arbitrary number fields that provably runs in probabilistic subexponential time, assuming the Extended Riemann Hypothesis (ERH). Previous subexponential algorithms…

We prove Bombieri-Vinogradov type theorems for primes with a missing digit in their $b$-adic expansion for some large positive integer $b$. The proof is based on the circle method, which relies on the Fourier structure of the integers with…

We construct a Beurling generalized number system satisfying the Riemann hypothesis and whose integer counting function displays extremal oscillation in the following sense. The prime counting function of this number system satisfies…

We provide approximations to the prime counting function by various discretized versions of the logarithmic integral function, expressed solely in terms of the harmonic numbers. We demonstrate with explicit error bounds that these…

In this paper, we derive a variant of the Taylor theorem to obtain a new minimized remainder. For a given function $f$ defined on the interval $[a,b]$, this formula is derived by introducing a linear combination of $f'$ computed at $n+1$…

For $n \geq 3,$ let $ p_n $ denote the $n^{\rm th}$ prime number. Let $[ \; ]$ denote the floor or greatest integer function. For a positive integer $m,$ let $\pi_2(m)$ denote the number of twin primes not exceeding $m.$ The twin prime…

For enumerative problems, i.e. computable functions f from N to Z, we define the notion of an effective (or closed) formula. It is an algorithm computing f(n) in the number of steps that is polynomial in the combined size of the input n and…

For $k\geq 1$ an integer and $x\geq 1$ a real number, let $\pi_k(x)$ be the number of integers smaller than $x$ having exactly $k$ distinct prime divisors. Building on recent work of Matom\"aki and Radziwi\l\l, we investigate the asymptotic…

In 1980 Montgomery made a conjecture about the true order of the error term in the prime number theorem. In 2012 the author made an analogous conjecture for the true order of the sum of the M\"{o}bius function, $M(x)$. This refined an…

Odd numbers can be indexed by the map k(n)=(n-3)/2, n belonging to 2N+3. We first propose a basic primality test using this index function that was first introduced in article (8). Input size of operations is reduced which improves…
