For the sequence defined by \[ a(n) = \frac{n^2 - n - 1}{\gcd\big(n^2 - n - 1,\, b(n-3) + n\,b(n-4)\big)} \] Where $b(n) = (n+2)\big(b(n-1) - b(n-2)\big),$ with initial conditions $b(-1) = 0$ and $b(0) = 1$, we find that $a(n)$ contains…

A classical method for partition generating functions is developed into a tool with wide applications. New expansions of well-known theorems are derived, and new results for partitions with n copies of n are presented.

In the present paper we prove that under the assumption of the GRH (Generalized Riemann Hypothesis) each sufficiently large odd integer can be expressed as the sum of a prime and two isolated primes.

Following an idea of Rowland we give a conjectural way to generate increasing sequences of primes using algorithms involving the gcd. These algorithms seem not so useless for searching primes since it appears we found sometime primes much…

We present a new sieve that allows us to find the prime numbers by using only regular patterns and, more importantly, avoiding any duplication of elements between them.

In this work we use the number classification in families of the form 6n+1, and 6n+5 with n integer (Such families contain all odd prime numbers greater than 3 and other compound numbers related with primes). We will use this kind of…

In this paper, we propose a new primality test, and then we employ this test to find a formula for {\pi} that computes the number of primes within any interval. We finally propose a new formula that computes the nth prime number as well as…

As long as people have studied mathematics, they have wanted to know how many primes there are. Getting precise answers is a notoriously difficult problem, and the first suitable technique, due to Riemann, inspired an enormous amount of…

Partitions of the set of primes are introduced based on the Chebyshev polynomials at rationals. The prime densities of all such partitions are established. Euler's Criterion for $SL(2,\mathbb Q)$ is formulated, which is the bridge between…

We investigate prime factorization from two perspectives: quantum annealing and computational algebraic geometry, specifically Gr\"obner bases. We present a novel scalable algorithm which combines the two approaches and leads to the…

We show that integer partitions, the fundamental building blocks in additive number theory, detect prime numbers in an unexpected way. Answering a question of Schneider, we show that the primes are the solutions to special equations in…

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…

In the present paper we prove that every sufficiently large odd integer $N$ can be represented in the form \begin{equation*} N=p_1+p_2+p_3\,, \end{equation*} where $p_1,p_2,p_3$ are primes, such that $p_1=x^2 + y^2 +1$, $p_2=[n^c]$.
