In this paper we extend and improve all the previous results known in literature about weighted average, with Ces\`aro weight, of representations of an integer as sum of a positive arbitrary number of prime powers and a non-negative…

In this paper we extend and improve our results on weighted averages for the number of representations of an integer as a sum of two powers of primes. Let $1\le \ell_1 \le \ell_2$ be two integers, $\Lambda$ be the von Mangoldt function and…

We consider weighted averages of the number of representations of an even integer as a sum of two prime numbers, where each summand lies in a given arithmetic progression modulo a common integer $q$. Our result is uniform in a suitable…

We investigate the average number of representations of a positive integer as the sum of $k + 1$ perfect $k$-th powers of primes. We extend recent results of Languasco and the last Author, which dealt with the case $k = 2$ [6] and $k = 3$…

We survey the potential for progress in additive number theory arising from recent advances concerning major arc bounds associated with mean value estimates for smooth Weyl sums. We focus attention on the problem of representing large…

We show that every sufficiently large integer is a sum of a prime and two almost prime squares, and also a sum of a smooth number and two almost prime squares. The number of such representations is of the expected order of magnitude. We…

We continue investigations on the average number of representations of a large positive integer as a sum of given powers of prime numbers. The average is taken over a short interval, whose admissible length depends on whether or not we…

Let $\Lambda$ be the von Mangoldt function and $r_{\textit{HL}}(n) = \sum_{m_1 + m_2^2 = n} \Lambda(m_1),$ be the counting function for the Hardy-Littlewood numbers. Let $N$ be a sufficiently large integer. We prove that…

Let $\Lambda\left(n\right)$ be the von Mangoldt function and $r_{SP}\left(n\right)=\sum_{m_{1}+m_{2}^{2}+m_{3}^{2}=n}\Lambda\left(m_{1}\right)\Lambda\left(m_{2}\right)\Lambda\left(m_{3}\right)$ be the counting function for the numbers that…

We prove that a suitable explicit formula for the Cesaro-averaged number of representations of an integer as a sum of two primes holds in short intervals.

In this paper, we provide formulas for partial sums of weighted averages over regular integers modulo $n$ of the $\gcd$-sum function with any arithmetic function. Many interesting applications of the results are also given.

The aim of the present article is to explore the possibilities of representing positive integers as sums of other positive integers and highlight certain fundamental connections between their multiplicative and additive properties. In…

We examine the representation of numbers as the sum of two squares in $\mathbb{Z}_n$ for a general positive integer $n$. Using this information we make some comments about the density of positive integers which can be represented as the sum…

Let $\mathcal{R}_k(n)$ be the number of representations of an integer $n$ as the sum of a prime and a $k$-th power. Define E_k(X) := |\{n \le X, n \in I_k, n\text{not a sum of a prime and a $k$-th power}\}|. Hardy and Littlewood conjectured…

For any fixed $k\geq 2$, we prove that every sufficiently large integer can be expressed as the sum of a $k$th power of a prime and a number with at most $M(k)=6k$ prime factors. For sufficiently large $k$ we also show that one can take…

Let $k\ge 1$ be an integer. We prove that a suitable asymptotic formula for the average number of representations of integers $n=p_{1}^{k}+p_{2}^{2}+p_{3}^{2}$, where $p_1,p_2,p_3$ are prime numbers, holds in intervals shorter than the ones…

In this paper, we present several explicit formulas of the sums and hyper-sums of the powers of the first (n+1)-terms of a general arithmetic sequence in terms of Stirling numbers and generalized Bernoulli polynomials.

We improve the large sieve inequality with $k$th-power moduli, for all $k\ge 4$. Our method relates these inequalities to a restricted variant of Waring's problem. Firstly, we input a classical divisor bound on the number of representations…

We extend a result by Ikeda and Suriajaya (2025) to find the asymptotic behaviour of the average number of representations of an integer $n$, over multiples of a fixed $q\ge 2$, as a sum of two prime $k$-th powers, for $k\ge 2$.

The goal of this paper is to describe an elementary combinatorial heuristic that predicts Hardy and Littlewood's extended Goldbach's conjecture. We examine common features of other heuristics in additive prime number theory, such as…
