Let $r\ge k\ge 2$ be fixed positive integers. Let $\varrho_{r,k}$ denote the characteristic function of the set of $r$-tuples of positive integers with $k$-wise relatively prime components, that is any $k$ of them are relatively prime. We…
We show that for all large enough $x$ the interval $[x,x+x^{1/2}\log^{1.39}x]$ contains numbers with a prime factor $p > x^{18/19}.$ Our work builds on the previous works of Heath-Brown and Jia (1998) and Jia and Liu (2000) concerning the…
In the paper, the occurrence of zeros and ones in the binary expansion of the primes is studied. In particular the statement in the title is established. The proof is unconditional.
In this article, we prove a theorem \`a la Mauduit et Rivat (prime number theorem, Moebius randomness principle) for functions that count digital blocks whose length is a growing function tending to infinity. These sequences are not…
The original Gelfond-Schnirelman method, proposed in 1936, uses polynomials with integer coefficients and small norms on $[0,1]$ to give a Chebyshev-type lower bound in prime number theory. We study a generalization of this method for…
When introduced in a 2018 article in the American Mathematical Monthly, the omega integral was shown to be an extension of the Riemann integral. Although results for continuous functions such as the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus follow…
Let $(a(n) : n \in \mathbb{N})$ denote a sequence of nonnegative integers. Let $0.a(1)a(2)...$ denote the real number obtained by concatenating the digit expansions, in a fixed base, of consecutive entries of $(a(n) : n \in \mathbb{N})$.…
In this paper, we can show that \begin{align*} S_{\Lambda}(x)=\sum_{1\leq n\leq x}\Lambda \left(\left[\frac{x}{n}\right]\right)= \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\Lambda(n)}{n(n+1)}x +O\left(x^{7/15+1/195+\varepsilon}\right), \end{align*} where…
While the prime numbers have been subject to mathematical inquiry since the ancient Greeks, the accumulated effort of understanding these numbers has - as Marcus du Sautoy recently phrased it - 'not revealed the origins of what makes the…
In this paper, we discuss P(n), the number of ways in which a given integer n may be written as a sum of primes. In particular, an asymptotic form P_as(n) valid for n towards infinity is obtained analytically using standard techniques of…
We study the first moment of primitive quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis and the generalized Lindel\"of hypothesis, we obtain an asymptotic formula at the central point with error $O(X^{1/4+\epsilon})$, and…
A semiprime is a natural number which can be written as the product of two primes. The asymptotic behaviour of the function $\pi_2(x)$, the number of semiprimes less than or equal to $x$, is studied. Using a combinatorial argument,…
The numbers of even and odd permutations with a given ascent number are investigated using an operator that was previously introduced by the author. Their difference is called a signed Eulerian number. By means of the operator the…
We approach a new proof of the strong Goldbach's conjecture for sufficiently large even integers by applying the Dirichlet's series. Using the Perron formula and the Residue Theorem in complex variable integration, one could show that any…
The order and disorder of binary representations of the natural numbers < 2^8 is measured using the BiEntropy function. Significant differences are detected between the primes and the non primes. The BiEntropic prime density is shown to be…
We consider methods for finding high-precision approximations to simple zeros of smooth functions. As an application, we give fast methods for evaluating the elementary functions log(x), exp(x), sin(x) etc. to high precision. For example,…
We use Taylor's formula with Lagrange remainder to make a modern adaptation of Poisson's proof of a version of the fundamental theorem of calculus in the case when the integral is defined by Euler sums, that is Riemann sums with left (or…
We offer a solution to a functional equation using properties of the Mellin transform. A new criteria for the Riemann Hypothesis is offered as an application of our main result, through a functional relationship with the Riemann xi…
Let $f$ be a primitive positive definite integral binary quadratic form of discriminant $-D$ and let $\pi_f(x)$ be the number of primes up to $x$ which are represented by $f$. We prove several types of upper bounds for $\pi_f(x)$ within a…
In this paper we give another proof of the Chudnovsky formula for calculating $\pi$ - a proof in detail with means of basic complex analysis. With the exception of the tenth chapter, the proof is self-contained, with proofs provided for all…
