In this paper, we show a new upper bound of prime gaps, that is the gap between a prime number and its consecutive prime number. We show that the gap between a prime number $p_n$ and its consecutive prime number is not larger than…

Let $\mathcal{H}^{*}=\{h_1,h_2,\ldots\}$ be an ordered set of integers. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of increasing sequences of natural numbers $a_j$ and $n_k$ such that $n_k+h_{a_j}$ is a sum of two squares for every…

Let $E_0,\ldots,E_n$ be a partition of the set of prime numbers, and define $E_j(x) := \sum_{p \in E_j \atop p \leq x} \frac{1}{p}$. Define $\pi(x;\mathbf{E},\mathbf{k})$ to be the number of integers $n \leq x$ with $k_j$ prime factors in…

This document seeks to prove there are infinitely many primes whose difference is 2, referred to as twin prime pairs. This proof's methodology involves constructing a function that approximates the number of positive integers, less than a…

In this paper we present some observations about the well-known Goldbach conjecture. In particular we list and interpret some numerical results which allow us to formulate a relation between prime numbers and even integers. We can also…

Holroyd, Liggett, and Romik introduced the following probability model. Let $C_1, C_2,...$ be independent events with probabilities $\P_s(C_n)= 1-e^{-ns}$ under a probability measure $\P_s$ with $0<s<1$. Let $A_k$ be the event that there is…

This paper considers a probabilistic-analytical approach to determining asymptotics of prime objects on the initial interval of the natural series. The author proposes a new method based on the construction of a probability space. An…

An asymptotic formula for the sum of the first n primes is derived. This result improves the previous results of P. Dusart. Using this asymptotic expansion, we prove the conjectures of R. Mandl and G. Robin on the upper and the lower bound…

The prime detecting function (PDF) approach can be effective instrument in the investigation of numbers. The PDF is constructed by recurrence sequence - each successive prime adds a sieving factor in the form of PDF. With built-in prime…

Although the prime numbers are deterministic, they can be viewed, by some measures, as pseudo-random numbers. In this article, we numerically study the pair statistics of the primes using statistical-mechanical methods, especially the…

Let $n,k\in\mathbb{N}$ and let $p_{n}$ denote the $n$th prime number. We define $p_{n}^{(k)}$ recursively as $p_{n}^{(1)}:=p_{n}$ and $p_{n}^{(k)}=p_{p_{n}^{(k-1)}}$, that is, $p_{n}^{(k)}$ is the $p_{n}^{(k-1)}$th prime. In this note we…

A number $n$ is practical if every integer in $[1,n]$ can be expressed as a subset sum of the positive divisors of $n$. We consider the distribution of practical numbers that are also shifted primes, improving a theorem of Guo and…

This paper updates the explicit interval estimate for primes between consecutive powers. It is shown that there is least one prime between $n^{155}$ and $(n+1)^{155}$ for all $n\geq 1$. This result is in part obtained with a new explicit…
