In this paper we study a sequence involving the prime numbers by deriving two asymptotic formulas and finding new upper and lower bounds, which improve the currently known estimates.

We study arithmetic functions $\Phi(x;d,a)$, called prime running functions, whose value at $x$ sums the gaps between primes $p_k \equiv a\ (\text{mod}\ d)$ below $x$ and the next following prime $p_{k+1}$, up to $x$. (The following prime…

We introduce the sequence $(a_n) \subset (0,1]$ and prove that the asymptotic behaviour of $\sum_{k=1}^n a_k$ is the same than $\pi(n)$, the prime-counting function. We also obtain that $\pi(n) \sim n a_n$ and we estimate…

This paper discusses prime numbers that are (resp. are not) congruent numbers. Particularly the only case not fully covered by earlier results, namely primes of the form $p=8k+1$, receives attention.

In this work we consider sums of primes that converging very slow. We set as a base, a reformulation of analytic prime number theorem and we use the values of Riemann Zeta function for the approximation. We also give the truncation error of…

We will show that the number of integers $\leq x$ that can be written as the square of an integer plus the square of a prime equals $\frac{\pi}{2} \cdot \frac {x}{\log x}$ minus a secondary term of size $x/(\log x)^{ 1+\delta+o(1)}$, where…

Using a smoothing function and recent knowledge on the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function, we compute pairs of $(\Delta,x_0)$ such that for all $x \geq x_0$ there exists at least one prime in the interval $(x(1 - \Delta^{-1}), x]$.

We analyze algorithms for computing the $n$th prime $p_n$ and establish asymptotic bounds for several approaches. Using existing results on the complexity of evaluating the prime-counting function $\pi(x)$, we show that the binary search…

We present a simple recurrent formula to generate the Machin-like expression for calculating $\pi/4$. The method works for any denominator in the starting term and always provides a finite decomposition. We show that the terms in the…

We examine the use of the Euler-Maclaurin formula and new derived uniform asymptotic expansions for the numerical evaluation of the Lerch transcendent $\Phi(z, s, a)$ for $z, s, a \in \mathbb{C}$ to arbitrary precision. A detailed analysis…

For some $\epsilon > 10^{-36}$ we give a randomized $3/2-\epsilon$ approximation algorithm for metric TSP.

New improvements to compute Mie scattering quantities are presented. They are based on a detailed analysis of the various sources of error in Mie computations and on mathematical justifications. The algorithm developed on these improvements…

We shall give an explicit formula for $\psi(x, q, a)$ with an error term of the form $C/\log^\alpha x$ under the condition that $q<\log^{\alpha_1} x$ is nonexceptional, for various values of $\alpha$ and $\alpha_1$. We shall also give an…

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…

For two coprime positive integers $a,b$, let $T(a,b)=\{ ax+by : x,y\in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0} \} $ and let $s(a,b)=ab-a-b$. It is well known that all integers which are greater than $s(a,b)$ are in $T(a,b)$. Let $\pi (a, b)$ be the number of…

Let [t] be the integral part of the real number t and let 1 P be the characteristic function of the primes. Denote by $\pi$ G (x) the number of primes in the floor function set G(x) := {[ x n ] : 1 n x} and by S 1 P (x) the number of primes…

Most prime gaps results have been proven using tools from analytic or algebraic number theory in the last few centuries. In this paper, we would like to present some probabilistic way of proving many essential results. A major component of…

We compute all primes up to $6.25\times 10^{28}$ of the form $m^2+1$. Calculations using this list verify, up to our bound, a less famous conjecture of Goldbach. We introduce `Goldbach champions' as part of the verification process and…

We extend our previous computations to show that there are 246683 Carmichael numbers up to $10^{16}$. As before, the numbers were generated by a back-tracking search for possible prime factorisations together with a ``large prime…

In this paper we give another proof of the Chudnovsky formula for calculating $\pi$ - a proof in detail with means of basic complex analysis. With the exception of the tenth chapter, the proof is self-contained, with proofs provided for all…
