We extend a result by Ikeda and Suriajaya (2025) to find the asymptotic behaviour of the average number of representations of an integer $n$, over multiples of a fixed $q\ge 2$, as a sum of two prime $k$-th powers, for $k\ge 2$.

We say a positive integer is a sum of three nonunit squares if it is a sum of three squares of integers other than one. In this article, we find all integers which are sums of three nonunit squares assuming that the Generalized Riemann…

We prove that there are infinitely many integers, which can represent as sum of a square-free integer and a prime $p$ with $||\alpha p+\beta||<p^{-1/10}$, where $\alpha$ is irrational.

We survey the potential for progress in additive number theory arising from recent advances concerning major arc bounds associated with mean value estimates for smooth Weyl sums. We focus attention on the problem of representing large…

We prove that for pairwise co-prime numbers $k_1,\dots,k_d \geq 2$ there does not exist any infinite set of positive integers $A$ such that the representation function $r_A (n) = \{ (a_1, \dots, a_d) \in A^d : k_1 a_1 + \dots + k_d a_d = n…

In this paper we confirm a conjecture of Sun which states that each positive integer is a sum of a square, an odd square and a triangular number. Given any positive integer m, we show that p=2m+1 is a prime congruent to 3 modulo 4 if and…

Let $k \ge 2$ and $s$ be positive integers, and let $n$ be a large positive integer subject to certain local conditions. We prove that if $s \ge k^2+k+1$ and $\theta > 31/40$, then $n$ can be expressed as a sum $p_1^k + \dots + p_s^k$,…

Given a polynomial $f(x_1,x_2,\ldots, x_t)$ in $t$ variables with integer coefficients and a positive integer $n$, let $\alpha(n)$ be the number of integers $0\leq a<n$ such that the polynomial congruence $f(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_t)\equiv a\…

For positive integers $a$, $b$, and $c$ which have no common divisor, the Frobenius number of $a$, $b$ and $c$ is defined to be the largest integer that cannot be expressed as a linear combination of $a$, $b$ and $c$ with non-negative…

Suppose a positive integer $n$ is written as a sum of squares of $m$ integers. What can one say about the value $T$ of the sum of these $m$ integers itself? Which $T$ can be obtained if one considers all possible representations of $n$ as a…

Let $k\ge 1$ be an integer. We prove that a suitable asymptotic formula for the average number of representations of integers $n=p_{1}^{k}+p_{2}^{2}+p_{3}^{2}$, where $p_1,p_2,p_3$ are prime numbers, holds in intervals shorter than the ones…

We prove that for all $n\geq 1$ there exists a number between $n^2$ and $(n+1)^2$ with at most 4 prime factors. This is the first result of this kind that holds for every $n\geq 1$ rather than just sufficiently large $n$. Our approach…
