When $k>1$ and $n$ is the product of the smallest $k$ primes, the $(k+1)$-st smallest prime is the least divisor exceeding $1$ of $n^{n^n}-1$. This variant of Euclid's prime generator is discussed with some of its cousins.

We present a method for finding large fixed-size primes of the form $X^2+c$. We study the density of primes on the sets $E_c = \{N(X,c)=X^2+c,\ X \in (2\mathbb{Z}+(c-1))\}$, $c \in \mathbb{N}^*$. We describe an algorithm for generating…

The ternary Goldbach conjecture, or three-primes problem, states that every odd number $n$ greater than $5$ can be written as the sum of three primes. The conjecture, posed in 1742, remained unsolved until now, in spite of great progress in…

We use Experimental Mathematics and Symbolic Computation (with Maple), to search for lots and lots of Perrin- and Lucas- style primality tests, and try to sort the wheat from the chaff. More impressively, we find quite a few such primality…

This article presents uniform random generators of plane partitions according to the size (the number of cubes in the 3D interpretation). Combining a bijection of Pak with the method of Boltzmann sampling, we obtain random samplers that are…

In 2009, Berkovich and Garvan introduced a new partition statistic called the GBG-rank modulo $t$ which is a generalization of the well-known BG-rank. In this paper, we use the Littlewood decomposition of partitions to study partitions with…

We prove that there exists a k_0>0 such that every sufficiently large odd integer n with 3\mid n can be represented as p_1+p_2+p_3, where p_1,p_2 are Chen's primes and p_3 is a prime with p_3+2 has at most k_0 prime factors.

We estimate from below the lower density of the set of prime numbers p such that p-1 has a prime factor of size at least p^c, where c lies in between 1/4 and 1/2. We also establish upper and lower bounds on the counting function of the set…

We establish two new Waring--Goldbach type representations: every sufficiently large odd integer $n$ can be expressed as \[ n = p_1^2 + p_2^2 + p_3^3 + p_4^3 + p_5^5 + p_6^6 + p_7^c, \] where each $p_i$ is prime and $c \in \{6,7\}$.
