In this paper, we prove a quantitative version of the statement that every nonempty finite subset of $\mathbb{N}^+$ is a set of quadratic residues for infinitely many primes of the form $[n^c]$ with $1\leqslant c\leqslant243/205$.…

Integer sequences of the form $\lfloor n^c\rfloor$, where $1<c<2$, can be locally approximated by sequences of the form $\lfloor n\alpha+\beta\rfloor$ in a very good way. Following this approach, we are led to an estimate of the difference…

Let $\gamma<1<c$ and $19(c-1)+171(1-\gamma)<9$. In this paper, we establish an asymptotic formula for exponential sums over Piatetski-Shapiro primes $p=[n^{1/\gamma}]$ in arithmetic progressions.

In the present paper we prove that for any fixed $1<c<7/6$ there exist infinitely many consecutive square-free numbers of the form $[n^c], [n^c]+1$ and we also establish an asymptotic formula in given interval.

For irreducible integer polynomials $f(n)=n^d+c$ we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of $k$-th power free values taken by $f(n)$, for $n$ running up to $x$, subject to the condition $k\ge (5d+3)/9$. This improves earlier results…

Let $k$ and $n$ be natural numbers. Let $\omega_k(n)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors of $n$ with multiplicity $k$ as studied by Elma and the third author. We obtain asymptotic estimates for the first and the second moments of…

Let $P(m)$ denote the largest prime factor of an integer $m\geq 2$, and put $P(0)=P(1)=1$. For an integer $k\geq 2$, let $(F_{n}^{(k)})_{n\geq 2-k}$ be the $k-$generalized Fibonacci sequence which starts with $0,...,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and…

Let $\left[x\right]$ be the largest integer not exceeding $x$. For $0<\theta \leq 1$, let $\pi_{\theta}(x)$ denote the number of integers $n$ with $1 \leq n \leq x^{\theta}$ such that $\left[\frac{x}{n}\right]$ is prime and…

The subset of quadratic primes {p = an^2 + bn + c : n => 1} generated by an irreducible polynomial f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c over the integers is widely believed to be an unbounded subset of prime numbers. This note provides the details of a…

The author proves that for $0.9985 < \gamma < 1$, there exist infinitely many primes $p$ such that $[p^{1/\gamma}]$ has at most 5 prime factors counted with multiplicity. This gives an improvement upon the previous results of…

We prove that $\mathop{\mathbb{E}}_{m \leq M} \mathop{\mathbb{E}}_{n \leq N} \Lambda(n) \Lambda\bigl(n + \lfloor m^c \rfloor\bigr) = 1 + \rm{O}(\log^{2 - Bc} N)$, where $c > 2$ is a non-integer, $B \geq 3/c$, and $M$ is of order $N^{1/c}…

In this short paper we shall prove that there exist infinitely many consecutive square-free numbers of the form $[\alpha p]$, $[\alpha p]+1$, where $p$ is prime and $\alpha>0$ is irrational algebraic number. We also establish an asymptotic…

For a fixed quadratic irreducible polynomial $f$ with no fixed prime factors at prime arguments, we prove that there exist infinitely many primes $p$ such that $f(p)$ has at most 4 prime factors, improving a classical result of Richert who…

For any $k>1$, we find the asymptotics of the counting function of $k$-th power-free elements in an additive arithmetic semigroup with exponential growth of the abstract prime counting function. This paper continues the authors' earlier…

Let $\{p_n\}_{n\ge 1}$ be the sequence of primes and $\vartheta(x) = \sum_{p \leq x} \log p$, where $p$ runs over the primes not exceeding $x$, be the Chebyshev $\vartheta$-function. In this note we derive lower and upper bounds for…

We examine the behavior of the coefficients of powers of polynomials over a finite field of prime order. Extending the work of Allouche-Berthe, 1997, we study a(n), the number of occurring strings of length n among coefficients of any power…

A Piatetski-Shapiro sequence with exponent $\alpha$ is a sequence of integer parts of $n^\alpha$ $(n = 1,2,\ldots)$ with a non-integral $\alpha > 0$. We let $\mathrm{PS}(\alpha)$ denote the set of those terms. In this article, we study the…

Given any positive integer $n,$ let $A(n)$ denote the height of the $n^{\text{th}}$ cyclotomic polynomial, that is its maximum coefficient in absolute value. It is well known that $A(n)$ is unbounded. We conjecture that every natural number…

Let $m$ be a Carmichael number and let $L$ be the least common multiple of $p-1$, where $p$ runs over the prime factors of $m$. We determine all the Carmichael numbers $m$ with a Fermat prime factor such that $L=2^{\alpha}P^2$, where $k\in…

For a non-integral real number $c>1$, let $\mathbb{N}_{(c)}:=\{\lfloor n^c\rfloor ~|~ n\in\mathbb{N}\}$. We show that $\mathbb{N}_{(c)}$ contains thin subbases of every order $h\geq 5$ when $1<c<2$, and $h\geq (\lfloor 2c\rfloor+1)(\lfloor…
