For a class of Lucas sequences ${x_n}$, we show that if $n$ is a positive integer then $x_n$ has a primitive prime factor which divides $x_n$ to an odd power, except perhaps when $n = 1, 2, 3 or 6$. This has several desirable consequences.
We survey some past conditional results on the distribution of large differences between consecutive primes and examine how the Hardy-Littlewood prime k-tuples conjecture can be applied to this question.
A new set of formulas for primes is presented. These formulas are more efficient and grow much slower than the two known formulas of Mills and Wright. 3 new formulas are explained.
We extend partition-theoretic work of Andrews, Bressoud, and Burge to overpartitions, defining the notions of successive ranks, generalized Durfee squares, and generalized lattice paths, and then relating these to overpartitions defined by…
Via symbolic computation we deduce 97 new type series for powers of $\pi$ related to Ramanujan-type series. Here are three typical examples: $$\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{P(k) \binom{2k}k\binom{3k}k…
Recently, a construction of minimal codes arising from a family of almost Ramanujan graphs was shown. Ramanujan graphs are examples of expander graphs that minimize the second-largest eigenvalue of their adjacency matrix. We call such…
Inspired by a Zudilin-Zhao's supercongruences pattern related to Ramanujan-like series for $1/\pi^k$, we conjecture a kind of $p$-adic expansions.
When a series of measurements is performed with increasingly coarse (or increasingly fine) precision, consecutive observations seem to be erratically distributed at first, and then organize themselves into cycles and patterns. The patterns,…
It is pointed out that erroneous Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer model equations have been used by Haranath Ghosh in his recent treatment of time-reversal symmetry-breaking superconductivity. Consequently, his numerical results are misleading,…
In his second notebook, Ramanujan discovered the following identity for the special values of $\zeta(s)$ at the odd positive integers \begin{equation*}\begin{aligned}\alpha^{-m}\,\left\{\dfrac{1}{2}\,\zeta(2m + 1) + \sum_{n =…
In this paper, we introduce a new series of Rogers-Ramanujan-Gordon partitions when k = 3. The combinatorial interpretation of the series is given by base partition, forward moves and backward moves. We conclude the paper with future…
We discuss several models in order to shed light on the origin of power-law distributions and power-law correlations in financial time series. From an empirical point of view, the exponents describing the tails of the price increments…
With the increasing inclusion of regenerative resources in the energy mix, their intermittent character challenges power grid stability. Hence it is essential to determine which input fluctuations power grids are particularly vulnerable to.…
Negative correlations in the distribution of prime numbers are found to display a scale invariance. This occurs in conjunction with a nonstationary behavior. We compare the prime number series to a type of fractional Brownian motion which…
Ramanujan's famous formula for $\zeta(2m+1)$ has captivated the attention of numerous mathematicians over the years. Grosswald, in 1972, found a simple extension of Ramanujan's formula which in turn gives transformation formula for…
Cohen and Hiley [Phys. Rev. A 52, 76 (1995)] have criticized the analysis of Hardy's gedanken experiment according to which the contradiction with quantum theory in Hardy's experiment arises due the failure of the "product rule" for the…
Using Ramanujan's Master Theorem, two formulas are derived which define the Hankel transforms of order zero with even functions by inverse Mellin transforms, provided these functions and their derivatives obey special conditions. Their…
In the sixth chapter of his notebooks Ramanujan introduced a method of summing divergent series which assigns to the series the value of the associated Euler-MacLaurin constant that arises by applying the Euler-MacLaurin summation formula…
In this paper we generalize and improve a method for calculating the period of a classical oscillator and other integrals of physical interest, which was recently developed by some of the authors. We derive analytical expressions that prove…
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…
