Odd numbers can be indexed by the map k(n)=(n-3)/2, n belonging to 2N+3. We first propose a basic primality test using this index function that was first introduced in article (8). Input size of operations is reduced which improves…

We prove that there exists a k_0>0 such that every sufficiently large odd integer n with 3\mid n can be represented as p_1+p_2+p_3, where p_1,p_2 are Chen's primes and p_3 is a prime with p_3+2 has at most k_0 prime factors.

In this paper, we pose lots of challenging conjectures on congruences for the sums involving binomial coefficients and Ap\'ery-like numbers modulo $p^3$, where $p$ is an odd prime.

The arithmetic average of the first $n$ primes, $\bar p_n = {1\over n} \sum_{i=1}^n p_i$, exhibits very many interesting and subtle properties. Since the transformation from $p_n \to \bar p_n$ is extremely easy to invert, $p_n = n\bar p_n -…

The set of short intervals between consecutive primes squared has the pleasant---but seemingly unexploited---property that each interval $s_k:=\{p_k^2, \dots,p_{k+1}^2-1\}$ is fully sieved by the $k$ first primes. Here we take advantage of…

We establish two new Waring--Goldbach type representations: every sufficiently large odd integer $n$ can be expressed as \[ n = p_1^2 + p_2^2 + p_3^3 + p_4^3 + p_5^5 + p_6^6 + p_7^c, \] where each $p_i$ is prime and $c \in \{6,7\}$.

We establish that every set of $k=10$ natural numbers determines at least $30$ distinct pairwise sums or at least $30$ distinct pairwise products, as well as the analogous result for $k=11$ and at least $34$ sums/products, with sharpness…

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…

We introduce a method for showing that there exist prime numbers which are very close together. The method depends on the level of distribution of primes in arithmetic progressions. Assuming the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture, we prove that…

Let $p$ be a prime greater than $3$ and let $a$ be a rational p-adic integer. In this paper we try to determine $\sum_{k=1}^{[p/3]}\binom{3k}ka^k\pmod p$, and real the connection between cubic congruences and the sum…

For $n$ positive numbers ($a_k$, $1\leq k \leq n$), enhanced inequalities about the arithmetic mean ($A_n \equiv \frac{\sum_ka_k}{n}$) and the geometric mean ($G_n\equiv \sqrt[n]{\Pi_ka_k}$) are found if some numbers are known, namely,…

Let $k\geq1$ be a fixed integer, and $\mathcal P_N$ be the set of primes no more than $N$. We prove that if a set $\mathcal A\subset\mathcal P_N$ contains no patterns $p_1,p_1+(p_2-1)^k$, where $p_1,p_2$ are prime numbers, then \[…
