This paper introduces a general technique for estimating the absolute value of pure Gaussian sums of order k over a prime p for a class of composite order k. The new estimate improves the classical estimate by a factor of about 2 or better…
We survey the classical results on the prime number theorem
For $k\ge1$, a $k$-almost prime is a positive integer with exactly $k$ prime factors, counted with multiplicity. In this article we give elementary proofs of precise asymptotics for the reciprocal sum of $k$-almost primes. Our results match…
The main results extend to sums over primes in a short interval earlier estimates by the author for "long" Weyl sums over primes.
The usual product $m\cdot n$ on $\mathbb{Z}$ can be viewed as the sum of $n$ terms of an arithmetic progression whose first term is $a_{1}=m-n+1$ and whose difference is $d=2$. Generalizing this idea, we define new similar product mappings,…
The Mertens' first theorem gives us the following asymptotic formula \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{p\leq x\\ p~prime}}\frac{lnp}{p}=lnx+O(1), \end{equation*} and the Mertens' second theorem indicates that there exists a constant…
We rewrite Riemann Zeta function as a sum over the primes. Each term of the sum is a product that depends only on the summation index (a prime) and the primes following it.
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis we obtain uniform, effective number-field analogues of Mertens' theorems.
A sharp asymptotic formula for the sum of reciprocals of $\pi(n)$ is derived, where $\pi(x)$ is the number of primes not exceeding $x$. This result improves the previous results of De Koninck--Ivi\'c and L. Panaitopol.
This paper gives new explicit formulas for sums of powers of integers and their reciprocals.
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…
Wolstenholme's type summations involve certain powers of all residues $k$ modulo some prime number $p$. We first consider the sums of double or triple products of certain powers of all residues, e.g., the sums of the terms $(a+k)^m(b+k)^n$…
We present some new ideas on important problems related to primes. The topics of our discussion are: simple formulae for primes, twin primes, Sophie Germain primes, prime tuples less than or equal to a predefined number, and their…
We compute the sum and the alternating sum of the reciprocals of triangular numbers using two standard methods from calculus: a telescoping series approach and a power series approach. We then extend these results to generalized…
In this paper, we discuss an alternative approach to determine an asymptotic equivalent of the partial sum of the reciprocals of prime numbers. This well-known result, related to Merten's second theorem, is usually derived through methods…
In this paper, using the well known fact that the series of reciprocals of primes diverges, we obtain a general inequality for gaps of consecutive primes that holds for infinitely many primes. As it is shown the key ingredient for this…
The paper considers estimates for some sums and products of functions of prime numbers. Several assertions on this topic have been proven. We also study extremal estimates for strongly additive and strongly multiplicative arithmetic…
In this short paper we present an elementary proof of the infinitude of primes. Our proof is similar in spirit to Euler's proof that the reciprocals of primes diverges and only uses tools from elementary number theory and calculus. In…
In this paper we prove a weighted sum formula for multiple harmonic sums modulo primes, thereby proving a weighted sum formula for finite multiple zeta values. Our proof utilizes difference equations for the generating series of multiple…
In this paper, we mainly show that generalized hyperharmonic number sums with reciprocal binomial coefficients can be expressed in terms of classical (alternating) Euler sums, zeta values and generalized (alternating) harmonic numbers.
