An interesting question, known as the Gaussian moat problem, asks whether it is possible to walk to infinity on Gaussian primes with steps of bounded length. Our work examines a similar situation in the real quadratic integer ring…

The Gaussian Moat Problem asks whether it is possible to walk from the origin to infinity in the complex plane using only Gaussian primes as stepstones and steps of bounded length. We prove that this is not possible.

We generalize the Gaussian moat problem to the finitely many imaginary quadratic fields exhibiting unique factorization in their integers. We map this problem to the Euclidean minimum spanning tree problem and use Delaunay triangulation and…

In this paper, we have developed an algorithm for the prime searching in $\mathbb{R}^3$. This problem was proposed by M. Das [Arxiv,2019]. This paper is an extension of her work. As we know the distribution of primes will get more irregular…

An interesting open conjecture asks whether it is possible to walk to infinity along primes, where each term in the sequence has one digit more than the previous. We present different greedy models for prime walks to predict the long-time…

We study analogies between the rational integers on the real line and the Gaussian integers on other lines in the complex plane. This includes a Gaussian analog of Bertrands Postulate, the Chinese Remainder Theorem, and the periodicity of…

In recent years, computer simulations are playing a fundamental role in unveiling some of the most intriguing features of prime numbers. In this work, we define an algorithm for a deterministic walk through a two-dimensional grid that we…

Gaussian processes retain the linear model either as a special case, or in the limit. We show how this relationship can be exploited when the data are at least partially linear. However from the perspective of the Bayesian posterior, the…

Given a circle of radius $r$ centered at the origin, the Gauss Circle Problem concerns counting the number of lattice points $C(r)$ within this circle. It is known that as $r$ grows large, the number of lattice points approaches $\pi r^2$,…

We consider the problem of computing the probability of maximality (PoM) of a Gaussian random vector, i.e., the probability for each dimension to be maximal. This is a key challenge in applications ranging from Bayesian optimization to…
