We prove a certain relation between Legendre's conjecture and Bertrand's postulate in terms of a certain transformation of Legendre's function phi. We show a certain property of a prime.
We present a new method for producing series for $1/\pi$ and other constants using Legendre's relation, starting from a generation function that can be factorised into two elliptic $K$'s; this way we avoid much of modular theory or creative…
We formulate and prove a general recurrence relation that applies to integrals involving orthogonal polynomials and similar functions. A special case are connection coefficients between two sets of orthonormal polynomials, another example…
We derive some identities and relations and extremal problems and minimization and Fourier development involving of integral Legendre polynomials.
In this paper, we make some conjectures on prime numbers that are sharper than those found in the current literature. First we describe our studies on Legendre's Conjecture which is still unsolved. Next, we show that Brocard's Conjecture…
In this work we use the number classification in families of the form 6n+1, and 6n+5 with n integer (Such families contain all odd prime numbers greater than 3 and other compound numbers related with primes). We will use this kind of…
We prove a strengthened form of a conjecture of Sun on a determinant attached to a binary quadratic form. Let $n>3$ and let $c,d\in\Z$. If $n$ is composite, then \[ \det\big[(i^2+cij+dj^2)^{n-2}\big]_{0\leq i,j\leq n-1}\equiv 0\pmod {n^2}…
In this note, we propose a simple-looking but broad conjecture about star-algebras over the field of real numbers. The conjecture enables many matrix decompositions to be represented by star-algebras and star-ideals. This paper is written…
Using as the working hypothesis of an evaluation of the difference between primes $p_{n+1} - p_n = O(\sqrt{p_n})$ we represent in detail the proofs of Legendre's and Oppermann's conjectures.
For any matroid $M$, we compute the Tutte polynomial $T_M(x,y)$ using the mixed intersection numbers of certain classes in the combinatorial Chow ring $A^\bullet(M)$ arising from hypersimplices. Using the mixed Hodge-Riemann relations, we…
Let $p\geq 5$ be a prime number. We generalize the results of E. de Shalit about supersingular $j$-invariants in characteristic $p$. We consider supersingular elliptic curves with a basis of $2$-torsion over $\overline{\mathbf{F}}_p$, or…
We prove two determinant evaluations attached to Sun's conjectures on matrices of Legendre symbols. The first one resolves the \(p\equiv1\pmod4\) part of Conjecture 4.8(i) by reducing the determinant with four indeterminates to a four-entry…
A structured approach for the Collatz conjecture is presented using just the odd integers that are, in turn, divided into categories based on the roles they play such as Starter, Intermediary and Terminal. The expression 4x+1 is used as a…
Following an idea of Rowland we give a conjectural way to generate increasing sequences of primes using algorithms involving the gcd. These algorithms seem not so useless for searching primes since it appears we found sometime primes much…
In this paper, by the tools of circulant matrices and hyperelliptic curves over finite fields, we study some arithmetic properties of certain determinants involving the Legendre symbols and $k$-th residues.
We prove a logical implication between two old conjectures stated by Bapat and Sunder about the permanent of positive semidefinite matrices. Although Drury has recently disproved both conjectures, this logical implication yields a…
A proof for a conjecture by Shadrin and Zvonkine, relating the entries of a matrix arising in the study of Hurwitz numbers to a certain sequence of rational numbers, is given. The main tools used are iteration matrices of formal power…
We investigate four properties related to an elliptic curve $E_t$ in Legendre form with parameter $t$: the curve $E_{t}$ has complex multiplication, $E_{-t}$ has complex multiplication, a point on $E_t$ with abscissa $2$ is of finite order,…
We introduce quaternary Legendre pairs of length $\ell$. In contrast to binary Legendre pairs they can exist for even $\ell$ as well. First we show that they are pertinent to the construction of quaternary Hadamard matrices of order…
We introduce a powerful connection between Ehrhart theory and additive number theory, and use it to produce infinitely many new classes of inequalities between the coefficients of the $h^*$-polynomial of a lattice polytope. This greatly…
