Related papers: Euler sums and a prime numbers conundrum
Translation from the Latin original "Utrum hic numerus 1000009 sit primus necne inquiritur" (1778). E699 in the Enestrom index. The idea of this paper is that if some number is a sum of two squares in two ways, then some other smaller…
The purpose of this paper is to give the explicit formulae of p-adic l-functions and sums of powers which are related to Euler numbers.
In this paper, we study the weighted sums of multiple t-values and of multiple t-star values at even arguments. Some general weighted sum formulas are given, where the weight coefficients are given by (symmetric) polynomials of the…
In this paper we are interested in Euler-type sums with products of harmonic numbers, Stirling numbers and Bell numbers. We discuss the analytic representations of Euler sums through values of polylogarithm function and Riemann zeta…
Euler states without proof statements about the form of prime divisors of numbers of the form aa+Nbb. See Ed Sandifer's How Euler Did It, ``Factors of Forms'', December 2005 at http://www.maa.org/news/howeulerdidit.html for a summary of the…
In this article we present method of solving some additive problems with primes. The method may be employed to the Goldbach-Euler conjecture and the twin primes conjecture. The presented method also makes it possible to obtain some…
In 1737 Leonard Euler gave what we often now think of as a new proof, based on infinite series, of Euclid's theorem that there are infinitely many prime numbers. Our short paper uses a simple modification of Euler's argument to obtain new…
An odd prime $p$ is called irregular with respect to Euler polynomials if it divides the numerator of one of the numbers $$E_1(0),E_{3}(0),\ldots,E_{p-2}(0),$$ where $E_n(x)$ is the $n$-th Euler polynomial. As in the classical case, we link…
We provide elementary proof of several congruences involving single sum and multisums of binomial coefficients.
We present some new ideas on important problems related to primes. The topics of our discussion are: simple formulae for primes, twin primes, Sophie Germain primes, prime tuples less than or equal to a predefined number, and their…
In this paper, we employ methods of contour integration and residue calculus to investigate the parity of two classes of cyclotomic Euler-type sums. One class involves products of cyclotomic harmonic numbers, while the other involves…
We prove some theorems which give sufficient conditions for the existence of prime numbers among the terms of a sequence which has pairwise relatively prime terms.
In this paper we will propose a strategy to prove Goldbach's conjecture: every even integer greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two primes.
The main results extend to sums over primes in a short interval earlier estimates by the author for "long" Weyl sums over primes.
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 $p \ge 11$ and integer $r\ge 2$, we prove that $$ \sum\limits_{\begin{smallmatrix}…
We continue investigations on the average number of representations of a large positive integer as a sum of given powers of prime numbers. The average is taken over a short interval, whose admissible length depends on whether or not we…
We consider the representation of primes as a sum of a prime and twice a triangular number. We prove that a subset of the primes having density 1 is expressible in this form. We conjecture that every odd prime number is expressible as a sum…
The Schinzel Hypothesis is a celebrated conjecture in number theory linking polynomial values and prime numbers. In the same vein we investigate the common divisors of values $P_1(n),\ldots, P_s(n)$ of several polynomials. We deduce this…
We formulate some refinements of Goldbach's conjectures based on heuristic arguments and numerical data. For instance, any even number greater than 4 is conjectured to be a sum of two primes with one prime being 3 mod 4. In general, for…
In this paper, we obtain some formulae for harmonic sums, alternating harmonic sums and Stirling number sums by using the method of integral representations of series. As applications of these formulae, we give explicit formula of several…
