For $p\in (1,\infty)$ and $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$, we consider measurable functions $g$ on $\mathbb{S}^{N-1}$ that satisfy the following weighted Hardy inequality: \begin{equation}\label{abs} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\frac{ g…

In a recent work Friedlander studied the problem of how large consecutive prime gaps should be in order that the sum of the reciprocals should be divergent. Supposing a very deep Hypothesis, a generalization of the Hardy--Littlewood prime…

We prove two inequalities for the Mittag-Leffler function, namely that the function $\log E_\alpha(x^\alpha)$ is sub-additive for $0<\alpha<1,$ and super-additive for $\alpha>1.$ These assertions follow from two new binomial inequalities,…

In this paper we prove mixed inequalities for the maximal operator $M_\Phi$, for general Young functions $\Phi$ with certain additional properties, improving and generalizing some previous estimates for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator…

We verify that $\liminf_{q\to\infty} q\cdot |q|_p\cdot ||qx||<\epsilon$ for all real $x$, small primes $p$ and relatively small $\epsilon$. This result supports the famous $p$-adic Littlewood conjecture which states that the above lower…

We show that for Beurling generalized numbers the prime number theorem in remainder form $$\pi(x) = \operatorname*{Li}(x) + O\left(\frac{x}{\log^{n}x}\right) \quad \mbox{for all } n\in\mathbb{N}$$ is equivalent to (for some $a>0$) $$N(x) =…

A Hardy-Littlewood triple is a 3-tuple of integers with the form $(n, n+2, n+6)$. In this paper, we study Hardy-Littlewood triples of the form $(p, P_{a}, P_{b})$ and improve the upper and lower bound orders of it, where $p$ is a prime and…

In this paper, among other results, we improve the best known estimates for the constants of the generalized Bohnenblust-Hille inequality. These enhancements are then used to improve the best known constants of the Hardy--Littlewood…

In this paper we characterize the inequality \begin{equation*} \bigg( \int_0^{\infty} \bigg( \int_0^x \big[ T_{u,b}f^* (t)\big]^r\,dt\bigg)^{\frac{q}{r}} w(x)\,dx\bigg)^{\frac{1}{q}} \le C \, \bigg( \int_0^{\infty} \bigg( \int_0^x [f^*…

This paper presents a proof of the following conjecture, stated by Nishizawa in [Appl. Math. Comput. 269, (2015), 146--154.]: for $\displaystyle 0<x<\pi/2$ the inequality $ \displaystyle \frac{\sin{x}}{x} \!>\! \left(\frac{2}{\pi} +…

We show, for any $q\ge 3$ and distinct reduced residues $a,b \pmod q$, the existence of certain hypothetical sets of zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions lying off the critical line implies that $\pi(x;q,a)<\pi(x;q,b)$ for a set of real $x$ of…

This paper makes a fundamental assertion about the Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture. Suppose that for a prime $p$ there exists $x,y,z \in \mathbb{N}$ with $x \leq y \leq z$ so that $$ \frac{4}{p} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z}. $$ The…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the set of primes and $\pi(x)$ the number of primes not exceeding $x$. Let also $P^+(n)$ be the largest prime factor of $n$ with convention $P^+(1)=1$ and $$ T_c(x)=\#\left\{p\le x:p\in \mathcal{P},P^+(p-1)\ge…

In this paper we use a theorem first proved by S.W.Golomb and a famous inequality by J.B. Rosser and L.Schoenfeld in order to prove that there exists an exact formula for $\pi(n)$ which holds infinitely often.

In this paper we propose an algorithm that correctly discards a set of numbers (from a previously defined sieve) with an interval of integers. Leopoldo's Theorem states that the remaining integer numbers will generate and count the complete…

We extend Hardy's inequality from sequences of non-negative numbers to sequences of positive semi-definite operators if the parameter p satisfies 1<p<=2, and to operators under a trace for arbitrary p>1. Applications to trace functions are…

Let pi(x) denote the number of primes smaller or equal to x. We compare sqrt{pi}(x) with sqrt{R}(x) and sqrt{li}(x), where R(x) and li(x) are the Riemann function and the logarithmic integral, respectively. We show a regularity in the…

We generalize current known distribution results on Shanks--R\'enyi prime number races to the case where arbitrarily many residue classes are involved. Our method handles both the classical case that goes back to Chebyshev and function…

The possibility of stating the second law of thermodynamics in terms of the increasing behaviour of a physical property establishes a connection between that branch of physics and the theory of algebraic inequalities. We use this connection…

Let $p_n$ denote the $n$-th prime. For any $m\geq 1$, there exist infinitely many $n$ such that $p_{n}-p_{n-m}\leq C_m$ for some large constant $C_m>0$, and $$p_{n+1}-p_n\geq \frac{c_m\log n\log\log n\log\log\log\log n}{\log\log\log n}, $$…
