We prove that given $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $0 < \lambda < 1$, then $\pi(x + x^\lambda) - \pi(x) \sim \displaystyle \frac{x^\lambda}{\log(x)}$. This solves a long-standing problem concerning the existence of primes in short…

In this paper we provide proofs of two new theorems that provide a broad class of partition inequalities and that illustrate a na\"ive version of Andrews' anti-telescoping technique quite well. These new theorems also put to rest any notion…

We prove that the equation $(x-2r)^3 + (x-r)^3 + x^3 + (x+r)^3 + (x+2r)^3= y^p$ only has solutions which satisfy $xy=0$ for $1\leq r\leq 10^6$ and $p\geq 5$ prime.

The matrix version of the entropy-power inequality for real or complex coefficients and variables is proved using a transportation argument that easily settles the equality case. An application to blind source extraction is given.

Lie group analysis of the difference equations of the form \begin{align*} x_{n+1} =\frac{x_{n-4}x_{n-3}}{x_{n}(a_n +b_nx_{n-4}x_{n-3}x_{n-2}x_{n-1})}, \end{align*} where $a_n$ and $b_n$ are real sequences, is performed and non-trivial…

Let $\alpha$ be a real number such that $1< \alpha <2$ and let $x_0=x_0(\alpha)$ be a {\rm(}unique{\rm)} positive solution of the equation $$ x^{\alpha-1} -\frac{\pi}{e^2\sqrt{3}}x +1=0. $$ Then we prove that for each positive integer…

Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that every positive integer number can be represented as a denominator (continuant) of a finit continued fraction with all partial quotients being bounded by an absolute constant A. Recently (in 2011)…

In this paper we consider the Diophantine equation \begin{align*}b^k +\left(a+b\right)^k &+ \cdots + \left(a\left(x-1\right) + b\right)^k=\\ &=d^l + \left(c+d\right)^l + \cdots + \left(c\left(y-1\right) + d\right)^l, \end{align*} where…

We prove a spectral inequality for Schr\"odinger equations with power growth potentials, which particularly confirms a conjecture in \cite{DSV}. This spectral inequality depends on the decaying density of the sensor sets, and the growth…

In this contribution, we introduce the multiplicative Jacobi polynomials that arise as one of the solutions of the multiplicative Sturm-Liouville equation \begin{equation*} \frac{d^*}{dx}\left( e^{(1-x^2)\omega(x)}\odot \frac{d^*y}{dx}…

Let $a,b,c$ be fixed coprime positive integers with $\min\{a,b,c\}>1$. In this paper, by analyzing the gap rule for solutions of the ternary purely exponential diophantine equation $a^x+b^y=c^z$, we prove that if $\max\{a,b,c\}\geq…

We present a new, very short proof of a conjecture by I. Ra\c{s}a, which is an inequality involving basic Bernstein polynomials and convex functions. It was affirmed positively very recently by J. Mrowiec, T. Rajba and S. W\k{a}sowicz…

In this paper we present a new approach to proving some exponential inequalities involving the sinc function. Power series expansions are used to generate new polynomial inequalities that are sufficient to prove the given exponential…

Let $\pi_{q,a}(x)$ denote the number of primes $\le x$ in the progression $a$ modulo $q$. We study subtle inequities in these functions, with $q$ fixed and variable $a$ (sometimes called 'prime race problems'). It is known unconditionally…

Under Cram\'er's conjecture concerning the prime numbers, we prove that for any $x>1$, there exists a real $A=A(x)>1$ for which the formula $[A^{n^x}]$ (where $[]$ denotes the integer part) gives a prime number for any positive integer $n$.…

This paper examines with elementary proofs some interesting properties of numbers in the binary quadratic form $a^2+ab+b^2$, where $a$ and $b$ are non-negative integers. Key findings of this paper are (i) a prime number $p$ can be…

We improve earlier work on the title equation (where $p$ and $q$ are primes and $c$ is a positive integer) by allowing $x$ and $y$ to be zero as well as positive. Earlier work on the title equation showed that, with listed exceptions, there…

We consider a set of equations of the form $p_j (x,y) = (10 x+m_j)(10 y + n_j),\,\,x\geq 0, y\geq0$, $j=1,2,3$, such that $\{m_1=7, n_1=3\}$, $\{m_2=n_2=9\}$ and $\{m_3=n_3=1\}$, respectively. It is shown that if $(a(p_j),b(p_j)) \in N…

By an $abc$ triple, we mean a triple $(a,b,c)$ of relatively prime positive integers $a,b,$ and $c$ such that $a+b=c$ and $\operatorname{rad}(abc)<c$, where $\operatorname{rad}(n)$ denotes the product of the distinct prime factors of $n$.…

In this note, we find a new inequality involving primes and deduce several Bonse-type inequalities.
