We study the properties of certain graphs involving the sums of primes. Their structure largely turns out to relate to the distribution of prime gaps and can be roughly seen in Cram\'er's model as well. We also discuss generalizations to…
It is shown that every conditional spreading sequence can be decomposed into two well behaved parts, one being unconditional and the other being convex block homogeneous, i.e. equivalent to its convex block sequences. This decomposition is…
Quite recently, in [8] the authoor of this paper considered the distribution of primes in the sequence $(S_n)$ whose $n$th term is defined as $S_n=\sum_{k=1}^{2n}p_k$, where $p_k$ is the $k$th prime. Some heuristic arguments and the…
We consider the set of finite sequences of length n over a finite or countable alphabet C. We consider the function which associate each given sequence with the size of the maximum overlap with a (shifted) copy of itself. We compute the…
Random permutations with distribution conditionally uniform given the set of record values can be generated in a unified way, coherently for all values of $n$. Our central example is a two-parameter family of random permutations that are…
In this paper we develop a method to transfer density results for primitive automatic sequences to logarithmic-density results for general automatic sequences. As an application we show that the logarithmic densities of any automatic…
Let $p$ be a prime. If an integer $g$ generates a subgroup of index $t$ in $(\mathbb Z/p\mathbb Z)^*,$ then we say that $g$ is a $t$-near primitive root modulo $p$. We point out the easy result that each primitive residue class contains a…
For a very general class of probability distributions in disordered Ising spin systems, in the thermodynamical limit, we prove the following property for overlaps among real replicas. Consider the overlaps among s replicas. Add one replica…
Morphic sequences form a natural class of infinite sequences, typically defined as the coding of a fixed point of a morphism. Different morphisms and codings may yield the same morphic sequence. This paper investigates how to prove that two…
A set of natural numbers $A$ is called primitive if no element of $A$ divides any other. Let $\Omega(n)$ be the number of prime divisors of $n$ counted with multiplicity. Let $f_z(A) = \sum_{a \in A}\frac{z^{\Omega(a)}}{a (\log a)^z}$,…
In this paper it was shown that all prime numbers lie on 96 half-lines. At the same time, it was shown that if a given number does not lie on any of the above half-lines, then it is a composite number. A corresponding linear mathematical…
There are two basic number sequences which play a major role in the prime number distribution. The first Number Sequence SQ1 contains all prime numbers of the form 6n+5 and the second Number Sequence SQ2 contains all prime numbers of the…
In this survey we summarize properties of pseudorandomness and non-randomness of some number-theoretic sequences and present results on their behaviour under the following measures of pseudorandomness: balance, linear complexity,…
We show that the sequence $(\alpha n)_{n\in \mathcal{B}}$ is uniformly distributed modulo 1, for every irrational $\alpha$, provided $\mathcal{B}$ belongs to a certain family of integer sequences, which includes the prime, almost prime,…
A compression algorithm is presented that uses the set of prime numbers. Sequences of numbers are correlated with the prime numbers, and labeled with the integers. The algorithm can be iterated on data sets, generating factors of doubles on…
Various descending chains of subgroups of a finite permutation group can be used to define a sequence of `basic' permutation groups that are analogues of composition factors for abstract finite groups. Primitive groups have been the…
We define a primitive index of an integer in a sequence to be the index of the term with the integer as a primitive divisor. For the sequences $k^u+h^u$ and $k^u-h^u$, we discern a formula to find the primitive indexes of any composite…
This is a review of several results related to distribution of powers and combination of powers modulo 1. We include a proof that given a sequence of real numbers $\theta_n$, it is possible to get an $\alpha$ (given $\lambda \ne 0$), or a…
The primes or prime polynomials (over finite fields) are supposed to be distributed `irregularly' , despite nice asymptotic or average behavior. We provide some conjectures/guesses/hypotheses with `evidence' of surprising symmetries in…
Let $q=p^n$ with $n=2m$ and $p$ be an odd prime. Let $0\leq k\leq n-1$ and $k\neq m$. In this paper we determine the value distribution of following exponential(character) sums \[\sum\limits_{x\in \bF_q}\zeta_p^{\Tra_1^m (\alpha…
