We give a new sufficient condition which allows to test primality of Fermat's numbers. This characterization uses uniquely values at most equal to tested Fermat number. The robustness of this result is due to a strict use of elementary…

Bertrand's paradox is a famous problem of probability theory, pointing to a possible inconsistency in Laplace's principle of insufficient reason. In this article we show that Bertrand's paradox contains two different problems: an "easy"…

The Legendre-Fenchel transform is a classical piece of mathematics with many applications. In this paper we show how it arises in the context of category theory using categories enriched over the extended real numbers $\overline{…

In this paper, we study the problems of minimizing a functional depending on the Caputo fractional derivative of order $0< \alpha \leq 1$ and the Riemann- Liouville fractional integral of order $\beta >0$ under certain constraints. A…

Currently, some approaches to the associated Legendre functions based on different factorization methods are known. However, they have not allowed identifying new properties that permit to improve our knowledge of any physical system. In…

This article provides a proof of the famous \textit{Prime Number Theorem} by establishing an analogous statement of the same in terms of the second \textit{Chebyshev Function} $\psi(x)$. We shall be extensively using complex analytic…

We will prove the Brannan conjecture for particular values of the parameter. The basic tool of the study is an integral representation published in a recent work [3].

We propose new conjectures about the relationship between the principal blocks of finite groups for different primes and establish evidence for these conjectures.

In this paper we determine the structure of the group of all operations that send each Legendre pair to an equivalent Legendre pair.

It is well known that the arithmetic nature of Mills' prime-representing constant is uncertain: we do not know if Mills' constant is a rational or irrational number. In the case of other prime-representing constants, irrationality can be…

We prove a strengthened form of a conjecture of Sun on a determinant attached to a binary quadratic form. Let $n>3$ and let $c,d\in\Z$. If $n$ is composite, then \[ \det\big[(i^2+cij+dj^2)^{n-2}\big]_{0\leq i,j\leq n-1}\equiv 0\pmod {n^2}…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. For each integer $a$ with $p\nmid a$, the famous Zolotarev's Lemma says that the Legendre symbol $(\frac{a}{p})$ is the sign of the permutation of $\Z/p\Z$ induced by multiplication by $a$. The extension of…

In this paper we propose an alternative formulation of the binary and ternary Goldbach conjectures as the systems of equations involving the Euler $\phi$-function.

In a recent paper, Cohl and Costas-Santos derived a number of interesting multi-derivative and multi-integral relations for associated Legendre and Ferrers functions in which the orders of those functions are changed in integral steps.…

We report results on various techniques which allow to compute the expansion into Legendre (or in general Gegenbauer) polynomials in an efficient way. We describe in some detail the algebraic/symbolic approach already presented in Ref.1 and…

We prove an analogue of the prime number theorem for finite fields.

Comments about the paper by Elsholz, Fermat's last theorem implies Euclid's infinitude of primes, (2021), and simplification.

First a few reformulations of Frankl's conjecture are given, in terms of reduced families or matrices, or analogously in terms of lattices. These lead naturally to a stronger conjecture with a neat formulation which might be easier to…

The goal of the present paper is to present a method of proving of Diophantine inequalities with primes through the use of auxiliary inequalities and available evaluations of the difference between consecutive primes. We study the Legendre…

Using geometric methods, we improve on the function field version of the Burgess bound, and show that, when restricted to certain special subspaces, the M\"{o}bius function over $\mathbb F_q[T]$ can be mimicked by Dirichlet characters.…
