This analysis which uses new mathematical methods aims at proving the Riemann hypothesis and figuring out an approximate base for imaginary non-trivial zeros of zeta function at very large numbers, in order to determine the path that those…
We reveal a relationship between the prime counting function and an operation performed on a unique subsequence of the primes.
In previous work it was shown that if certain series based on sums over primes of non-principal Dirichlet characters have a conjectured random walk behavior, then the Euler product formula for its $L$-function is valid to the right of the…
In this paper we present a method to derive Pi(x) and other Arithemtical functions that can be generated by a Dirichlet series by variational principles,we use a variational method to determine the solution for a Fredholm integral equation…
We give an estimate for sums appearing in the Nyman-Beurling criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis containing the M\"obius function. The estimate is remarkably sharp in comparison to estimates of other sums containing the M\"obius function.…
Landau examined the partial sums of the M\"obius function and the Liouville function for a number field $K$. First we shall try again the same problem by using a new Perron's formula due to Liu and Ye. Next we consider the equivalent…
M\"obius inversion, originally a tool in number theory, was generalized to posets for use in group theory and combinatorics. It was later generalized to categories in two different ways, both of which are useful. We provide a unifying…
The set of short intervals between consecutive primes squared has the pleasant---but seemingly unexploited---property that each interval $s_k:=\{p_k^2, \dots,p_{k+1}^2-1\}$ is fully sieved by the $k$ first primes. Here we take advantage of…
We note an interesting and under-expressed fact from Chebyshev's initial bounding for the prime counting function, $\pi(x) := \# \{p \leq x : p \text{ prime}\},$ based upon a selection of fixed coefficients $d\in D$ to show $\psi(x) \asymp…
The non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function and the prime numbers can be plotted by a modified von Mangoldt function. The series of non-trivial zeta zeros and prime numbers can be given explicitly by superposition of harmonic waves.…
In this article we present certain formulas involving arithmetical functions. In the first part we study properties of sums and product formulas for general type of arithmetic functions. In the second part we apply these formulas to the…
The number of tuples with positive integers pairwise relatively prime to each other with product at most $n$ is considered. A generalization of $\mu^{2}$ where $\mu$ is the M\"{o}bius function is used to formulate this divisor sum and…
An approximate formula for complex Riemann Xi function, previously developed, is used to refine Backlund's estimate of the number of zeros till a chosen imaginary coordinate
We study several aspects of the M\"{o}bius function, $\mu[\sigma,\pi]$, on the poset of permutations under the pattern containment order. First, we consider cases where the lower bound of the poset is indecomposable. We show that…
Building on the concept of pretentious multiplicative functions, we give a new and largely elementary proof of the best result known on the counting function of primes in arithmetic progressions.
In this paper, we use the Thue-Morse sequence and the paperfolding sequence to build a Dirichlet series that evaluates to a linear combination of the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integers and odd powers of $\pi$. In doing so, we…
In this paper, we compute and verify the positivity of the Li coefficients for the Dirichlet $L$-functions using an arithmetic formula established in Omar and Mazhouda, J. Number Theory 125 (2007) no.1, 50-58; J. Number Theory 130 (2010)…
In this paper we introduce the prime index function \begin{align}\iota(n)=(-1)^{\pi(n)},\nonumber \end{align} where $\pi(n)$ is the prime counting function. We study some elementary properties and theories associated with the partial sums…
In this paper we first establish new explicit estimates for Chebyshev's $\vartheta$-function. Applying these new estimates, we derive new upper and lower bounds for some functions defined over the prime numbers, for instance the prime…
Let $\pi_{q,a}(x)$ denote the number of primes $\le x$ in the progression $a$ modulo $q$. We study subtle inequities in these functions, with $q$ fixed and variable $a$ (sometimes called 'prime race problems'). It is known unconditionally…
