This paper introduces a new method to find the next prime number after a given prime ${P}$. The proposed method is used to derive a system of inequalities, that serve as constraints which should be satisfied by all primes whose successor is…
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between prime numbers and sums of Fibonacci numbers. One of our main results says that for every sufficiently large integer $k$ there exists a prime number that can be represented as…
There is extensive numerical support for the prime-pair conjecture (PPC) of Hardy and Littlewood (1923) on the asymptotic behavior of pi_{2r}(x), the number of prime pairs (p,p+2r) with p not exceeding x. However, it is still not known…
A specific Goldbach partition of any given even number greater than 6 can be found definitely.
In this paper, we used the principle of sieve function transformation to improve sieve method and the prime number theorem in the arithmetic sequence.For this, we proved General Riemann Hypothesis and Riemann Hypothesis to be true. further,…
For integers x and k, let T(x;2k) denote the number of twin prime pairs (p,p+2k) with a distance 2k<=2x**0.5 and p<=x (not p+2k<=x). Let Tg(x;2x**0.5) denote the average of T(x;2k) for all 2k<=2x**0.5. Logically, T(x;2k) should be a…
In this note we use recent developments in sieve theory to highlight the interplay between Goldbach and de Polignac numbers. Assuming that the primes have level of distribution greater than $1/2$, we show that at least one of two nice…
We consider the exceptional set in the binary Goldbach problem for sums of two almost twin primes. Our main result is a power-saving bound for the exceptional set in the problem of representing $m=p_1+p_2$ where $p_1+2$ has at most $2$…
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 his Classical approximation to the Twin prime problem, Selberg proved that for $x$ sufficiently large, there is an $n \in (x,2x)$ such that $2^{\Omega(n)}+2^{\Omega(n+2)} \leq \lambda$ with $\lambda=14$, where $\Omega(n)$ is the number…
We introduce a concept of a Goldbach factorization graph (GFG) $F_n$, which can be constructed for each even integer $n$ greater than 2. We prove that, if $n$ does not satisfy the binary Goldbach conjecture (BGC), then $F_n$ contains a…
Frankl's union-closed sets conjecture states that in every finite union-closed set of sets, there is an element that is contained in at least half of the member-sets (provided there are at least two members). The conjecture has an…
Six conjectures on pairs of consecutive primes are listed in this paper, together with examples for each case.
Rosenfeld Conjectured in 1972 that there exists an integer K $\geq$ 8 such that any tournament of order n $\geq$ K contains any Hamiltonian oriented path. In 2000, Havet and Thomass\'e proved this conjecture for any tournament with exactly…
Assuming that the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) holds, we prove an explicit formula for the number of representations of an integer as a sum of $k\geq 5$ primes. Our error terms in such a formula improve by some logarithmic factors…
Hardy and Littlewood conjectured that every sufficiently large integer is either a square or the sum of a prime and a square. Let $E(x)$ be the number of positive integers up to $x\ge4$ which does not satisfy this condition. We prove…
Consider a system \Psi of non-constant affine-linear forms \psi_1,...,\psi_t: Z^d -> Z, no two of which are linearly dependent. Let N be a large integer, and let K be a convex subset of [-N,N]^d. A famous and difficult open conjecture of…
Let $R(n) = \sum_{a+b=n} \Lambda(a)\Lambda(b)$, where $\Lambda(\cdot)$ is the von Mangoldt function. The function $R(n)$ is often studied in connection with Goldbach's conjecture. On the Riemann hypothesis (RH) it is known that $\sum_{n\leq…
This paper is intended as a sequel to a paper arXiv:0803.2636 written by four of the coauthors here. In the paper, they proved a stronger form of the Erd\H{o}s-Mirksy conjecture which states that there are infinitely many positive integers…
A recent heuristic argument based on basic concepts in spectral analysis showed that the twin prime conjecture and a few other related primes counting problems are valid. A rigorous version of the spectral method, and a proof of the more…
