In this paper we present some observations about the well-known Goldbach conjecture. In particular we list and interpret some numerical results which allow us to formulate a relation between prime numbers and even integers. We can also…
This paper proves the existence of infinitely many Perrin pseudoprimes, as conjectured by Adams and Shanks in 1982. The theorem proven covers a general class of pseudoprimes based on recurrence sequences. The result uses ingredients of the…
We investigate invertible matrices over finite additively idempotent semirings. The main result provides a criterion for the invertibility of such matrices. We also give a construction of the inverse matrix and a formula for the number of…
Let $K\geq 2$ be a natural number and $a_i,b_i\in\mathbb{Z}$ for $i=1,\ldots,K-1$. We use the large sieve to derive explicit upper bounds for the number of prime $k$-tuplets, i.e., for the number of primes $p\leq x$ for which all $a_ip+b_i$…
We speculate on the distribution of primes in exponentially growing, linear recurrence sequences $(u_n)_{n\geq 0}$ in the integers. By tweaking a heuristic which is successfully used to predict the number of prime values of polynomials, we…
In this paper, we analyze properties of prime number sequences produced by the alternating sum of higher-order subsequences of the primes. We also introduce a new sieve which will generate these prime number sequences via the systematic…
Consider the set of all natural numbers that are co-prime to primes less than or equal to a given prime. Then given a consecutive pair of numbers in that set with an arbitrary even gap, we prove there exists an unbounded number of actual…
It is known that the sum of the reciprocal of integers, $\sum_n (1/n)$, and the sum of the reciprocal of primes, $\sum_n (1/p_n)$, both diverge. Here, we study a series made from primes that sums exactly to 1. We also show this sum is…
We consider a generalization of Euclid's proof of the infinitude of primes and show that it leads to variants of the Euclid-Mullin sequence that provably contain every prime number.
In this expository article we provide an elegant proof of the one-sided Ingham-Karamata Tauberian theorem. As an application, we present a short deduction of the prime number theorem.
The aim of this paper is to try to establish a generic model for the problem that several multivariable number-theoretic functions represent simultaneously primes for infinitely many integral points. More concretely, we introduced briefly…
We present a new, elementary, dynamical proof of the prime number theorem.
The Green-Tao Theorem, one of the most celebrated theorems in modern number theory, states that there exist arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions of prime numbers. In a related but different direction, a recent theorem of Shiu proves…
We consider the problem of determining whether the union of two infinite matroids is a matroid. We introduce a superclass of the finitary matroids, the nearly finitary matroids, and prove that the union of two nearly finitary matroids is a…
We give some theoretical and computational results on "random" harmonic sums with prime numbers, and more generally, for integers with a fixed number of prime factors.
In this note, we propose simple summations for primes, which involve two finite nested sums and Bernoulli numbers. The summations can also be expressed in terms of Bernoulli polynomials.
We prove an analogue of the prime number theorem for finite fields.
We propose the formula for the number of pairs of consecutive primes $p_n, p_{n+1}<x$ separated by gap $d=p_{n+1}-p_n$ expressed directly by the number of all primes $<x$, i.e. by $\pi(x)$. As the application of this formula we formulate 7…
Let $k$ be an integer which is the difference between prime numbers infinitely often. It is known that there are infinitely many such $k$ and, in this paper, we give a new unconditional proof that these $k$ have positive density and improve…
We announce a number of conjectures associated with and arising from a study of primes and irrationals in $\mathbb{R}$. All are supported by numerical verification to the extent possible.
