We study the distribution of large prime factors of a random element $u$ of arithmetic sequences satisfying simple regularity and equidistribution properties. We show that if such an arithmetic sequence has level of distribution $1$ the…
The Prime Numbers are well-known for their paradoxical stand regarding Benford's Law. On one hand they adamantly refuse to obey the law of Benford in the usual sense, namely that of a normal density of the proportion of primes with d as the…
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…
This paper introduces a new method to find the next prime number after a given prime ${P}$. The proposed method is used to derive a system of inequalities, that serve as constraints which should be satisfied by all primes whose successor is…
New exceptional (i.e. non-repeating) prime number multiplets are given and formulated in terms of arithmetic progressions, along with laws governing them. Accompanying repeating prime number multiplets are pointed out. Prime number…
Generalized Cullen Numbers are positive integers of the form $C_b(n):=nb^n+1$. In this work we generalize some known divisibility properties of Cullen Numbers and present two primality tests for this family of integers. The first test is…
In this set of three companion manuscripts/articles, we unveil our new results on primality testing and reveal new primality testing algorithms enabled by those results. The results have been classified (and referred to) as…
Under Cram\'er's conjecture concerning the prime numbers, we prove that for any $x>1$, there exists a real $A=A(x)>1$ for which the formula $[A^{n^x}]$ (where $[]$ denotes the integer part) gives a prime number for any positive integer $n$.…
Let $p_n$ be $n$th prime, and let $(S_n)_{n=1}^\infty:=(S_n)$ be the sequence of the sums of the first $2n$ consecutive primes, that is, $S_n=\sum_{k=1}^{2n}p_k$ with $n=1,2,\ldots$. Heuristic arguments supported by the corresponding…
Prime numbers are fascinating by the way they appear in the set of natural numbers. Despite several results enlighting us about their repartition, the set of prime numbers is often informally qualified as misterious. In the present paper,…
A new version of the Graeffe algorithm for finding all the roots of univariate complex polynomials is proposed. It is obtained from the classical algorithm by a process analogous to renormalization of dynamical systems. This iteration is…
We describe a primality test for number $M=(2p)^{2^n}+1$ with odd prime $p$ and positive integer $n$. And we also give the special primality criteria for all odd primes $p$ not exceeding 19. All these primality tests run in polynomial time…
We provide upper bounds on the density of a symmetric generalized arithmetic progression lacking nonzero elements of the form h(n) for natural numbers n, or h(p) with p prime, for appropriate polynomials h with integer coefficients. The…
For a fixed degree sequence $\mathcal{D}=(d_1,...,d_n)$, let $G(\mathcal{D})$ be a uniformly chosen (simple) graph on $\{1,...,n\}$ where the vertex $i$ has degree $d_i$. In this paper we determine whether $G(\mathcal{D})$ has a giant…
We consider preferential attachment random graphs which may be obtained as follows: It starts with a single node. If a new node appears, it is linked by an edge to one or more existing node(s) with a probability proportional to function of…
We offer multiplication method for factoring big natural numbers which extends the group of the Fermat's and Lehman's factorization algorithms and has run-time complexity $O(n^{1/3})$. This paper is argued the finiteness of proposed…
For degrees $3$ to $6$, we first give numerical results on polynomials which take many prime values on an interval of consecutive values of the variable. In particular, we have improved Ruby's record for the "$n$ out of $n$" case, for $n\…
Primality testing is an especially useful topic for public-key cryptography. In this paper, a novel primality test algorithm based on the Pell's cubic will be introduced, and its necessary primality conditions will be proved using three…
We show that for every positive integer $k$, there exist $k$ consecutive primes having the property that if any digit of any one of the primes, including any of the infinitely many leading zero digits, is changed, then that prime becomes…
Prime numbers, whose properties are important subjects in mathematics, are also fundamental in computer science notably in IT security, Cryptocurrencies as Bitcoin and Blockchain, cryptography, Code theory notably Error detection codes,…
