A sharp asymptotic formula for the sum of reciprocals of $\pi(n)$ is derived, where $\pi(x)$ is the number of primes not exceeding $x$. This result improves the previous results of De Koninck--Ivi\'c and L. Panaitopol.

We obtain new recurrence relations, an explicit formula, and convolution identities for higher order geometric polynomials. These relations generalize known results for geometric polynomials, and lead to congruences for higher order…

A hypothesis is put forward regarding the function $\pi_2(x)$ which describes the distribution of twin primes in the set of natural numbers. The function $\pi_2(x)$ is tested by evaluation and an empirical $\pi_2^{\ast}(x)$ is arrived at,…

The results of the study provide guidelines for the development and applications of algorithms. When the number of steps for calculating an assumption tends to infinity, probability theory can be applied to predict whether the assumption…

Rubinstein and Sarnak have shown, conditional on the Riemann hypothesis (RH) and the linear independence hypothesis (LI) on the non-real zeros of $\zeta(s)$, that the set of real numbers $x\ge2$ for which $\pi(x)>$ li$(x)$ has a logarithmic…

A family of original formulae for computing number PI and its proof are presented. An algorithm is proposed to validate the results of this new algorithm.

We continue our recent work on averages for ternary additive problems with powers of prime numbers.

We generalize current known distribution results on Shanks--R\'enyi prime number races to the case where arbitrarily many residue classes are involved. Our method handles both the classical case that goes back to Chebyshev and function…

Based on new explicit estimates for the prime counting function, we improve the currently known estimates for the particular sequence $C_n = np_n - \sum_{k \leq n}p_k$, $n \geq 1$, involving the prime numbers.

We briefly describe some well-known means and their properties, focusing on the relationship with integer sequences. In particular, the harmonic numbers, deriving from the harmonic mean, motivate the definition of a new kind of mean that we…

We survey the classical results on the prime number theorem

In this paper, under the RH, we give a new representation of $N(T)$ in term of sum of the logarithms of the powers of prime numbers and compute the difference between the new representation and Guinand representation.

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…

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…

We survey results about prime number races, that is, results about the relative sizes of prime counting functions $\pi_{q,a}(x)$, with $q$ fixed and $a$ varying. In particular, we describe recent work by the authors on these problems.

We construct families of prime ideals in polynomial rings for which the number of associated primes of the second power (or higher powers) is exponential in the number of variables in the ring. We give a lower bound on the Ananyan-Hochster…

Let [t] be the integral part of the real number t and let 1 P be the characteristic function of the primes. Denote by $\pi$ G (x) the number of primes in the floor function set G(x) := {[ x n ] : 1 n x} and by S 1 P (x) the number of primes…

I give some claims on primorial prime numbers for interested readers in number theory.

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we prove the latest explicit version of the prime number theorem for short intervals. Using this result, and assuming the generalised Riemann hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions is true, we then establish…

The prime-counting function $\pi(x)$ which returns the number of primes smaller or equal to a given number is a topic of interest in number theory. An algorithm based on a cyclic group isomorphic to $Z/nZ$, the so-called $Z$-functions, was…
