Let $v\geq 2$ be a fixed integer, and let $x \geq 1$ and $z \geq x$ be large numbers. The exact asymptotic formula for the number of Wieferich primes $p$ such that $ v^{p-1} \equiv 1 \bmod p^2$ in the short interval $[x,x+z]$ is proposed in…
Using recent results from the theory of integer points close to smooth curves, we give an asymptotic formula for the distribution of values of a class of integer-valued prime-independent multiplicative functions.
In this paper, we shall establish a rather general asymptotic formula in short intervals for a classe of arithmetic functions and announce two applications about the distribution of divisors of square-full numbers and integers representable…
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 existence of unimodular forms with small norms on sequence spaces is crucial in a variety of problems in modern analysis. We prove that the infimum of $\left\Vert A\right\Vert $ over all unimodular $d$-linear (complex or real) forms $A$…
For all $\alpha_1,\alpha_2\in(1,2)$ with $1/\alpha_1+1/\alpha_2>5/3$, we show that the number of pairs $(n_1,n_2)$ of positive integers with $N=\lfloor{n_1^{\alpha_1}}\rfloor+\lfloor{n_2^{\alpha_2}}\rfloor$ is equal to…
Let $s\ge 2$ be an integer. Denote by $\mu_s$ the least integer so that every integer $\ell >\mu_s$ is the sum of exactly $s$ integers $>1 $ which are pairwise relatively prime. In 1964, Sierpi\'nski asked a determination of $\mu_s$. Let…
For "almost all" sufficiently large $N,$ satisfying necessary congruence conditions and $k\geq 2$, we show that there is an {\bf asymptotic formula} for the number of solutions of the equation \begin{align*} \begin{split}…
Using a sieve-theoretic argument, we show that almost all gaps $(p_n, p_{n+1})$ between consecutive primes $p_n, p_{n+1}$ contain a natural number $m$ whose least prime factor $p(m)$ is at least the length $p_{n+1} - p_n$ of the gap,…
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 study how short an interval $[x, x + x^\theta]$ contains an integer of the form $n_1 n_2 n_3$ and $m_1 m_2 m_3 m_4$ with $n_1 \approx n_2 \approx n_3$ and $m_1 \approx m_2 \approx m_3 \approx m_4$. The new idea is to adopt…
Let $\pi(x;\gamma_1,\gamma_2)$ denote the number of primes $p$ with $p\leqslant x$ and $p=\lfloor n^{1/\gamma_1}_1\rfloor=\lfloor n^{1/\gamma_2}_2\rfloor$, where $\lfloor t\rfloor$ denotes the integer part of $t\in\mathbb{R}$ and…
We prove that analogues of the Hardy-Littlewood generalised twin prime conjecture for almost primes hold on average. Our main theorem establishes an asymptotic formula for the number of integers $n=p_1p_2 \leq X$ such that $n+h$ is a…
We prove an asymptotic formula for primes of the shape $f(a,b^2)$ with $a,b$ integers and of the shape $f(a,p^2)$ with $p$ prime. Here $f$ is a binary quadratic form with integer coefficients, irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$ and has no local…
Let m>=1 be an arbitrary fixed integer and let N_m(x) count the number of odd integers u<=x such that the order of 2 modulo u is not divisible by m. In case m is prime estimates for N_m(x) were given by H. Mueller that were subsequently…
This paper examines with elementary proofs some interesting properties of numbers in the binary quadratic form $a^2+ab+b^2$, where $a$ and $b$ are non-negative integers. Key findings of this paper are (i) a prime number $p$ can be…
This note discusses the existence of prime numbers in short intervals. An unconditional elementary argument seems to prove the existence of primes in the short intervals [x, x + y], where y >= x^(1/2)(log x)^e, e > 0, and a sufficiently…
We estimate the number of integer solutions to decomposable form inequalities (both asymptotic estimates and upper bounds are provided) when the degree of the form and the number of variables are relatively prime. These estimates display…
Recently, several bounds have been obtained on the number of solutions to congruences of the type $$ (x_1+s)...(x_{\nu}+s)\equiv (y_1+s)...(y_{\nu}+s)\not\equiv0 \pmod p $$ modulo a prime $p$ with variables from some short intervals. Here,…
We determine the behavior of multiplicative functions vanishing at a positive proportion of prime numbers in almost all short intervals. Furthermore we quantify "almost all" with uniform power-saving upper bounds, that is, we save a power…
