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 Goldbach conjecture states that every even integer greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers. This conjecture was first proposed by German mathematician Christian Goldbach in 1742 and, despite being obviously true,…

In this paper I introduce a model which allows one to prove Goldbachs hypothesis. The model is produced by studying Goldbach partitions as displayed by an inverted mirror image of all the primes up to some even number equal to the last…

In the paper we can prove that every integer can be written as the sum of two integers, one perfect square and one squarefree. We also establish the asympotic formula for the number of representations of an integer in this form. The result…

After certain subsets of Natural numbers called Range and Row are defined, we assume (1) there is a function that can produce prime numbers and (2) each even number greater than 2, like A, can be represented as the sum of n prime numbers.…

A new polynomial sieve is presented and used to show that almost all integers have at most one representation as a sum of two values of a given polynomial of degree at least 3.

Every natural number greater than two may be written as the sum of a prime and a square-free number. We establish several generalisations of this, by placing divisibility conditions on the square-free number.

Every odd prime number p can be written in exactly (p + 1)/2 ways as a sum ab + cd with min(a, b) > max(c, d) of two ordered products. This gives a new proof Fermat's Theorem expressing primes of the form 1 + 4N as sums of two squares 1 .

A conjecture of Cai-Zhang-Shen for figurate primes says that every integer $k>1$ is the sum of two figurate primes. In this paper we give an equivalent proposition to the conjecture. By considering extreme value problems with constraints…

With an artificial (p', n')-system it has been proved that even numbers > (p(x))^2 are the sum of two p > p(x).

We prove an explicit analogue of Legendre's conjecture for almost primes. Namely, for every integer $n \geq 1$, the interval $(n^2,(n+1)^2)$ contains an integer having at most $3$ prime factors, counted with multiplicity. This improves the…

The twin prime conjecture asserts that there are infinitely many pairs of primes that differ by two. While recent advances have improved our understanding of bounded prime gaps, the conjecture remains unresolved. This paper refines the…

We show that every sufficiently large $x\equiv 3(4)$ can be written as the sum of three primes, each of which is a sum of a square and a prime square. The main tools are a transference version of the circle method and various sieve related…

For any fixed $k\geq 2$, we prove that every sufficiently large integer can be expressed as the sum of a $k$th power of a prime and a number with at most $M(k)=6k$ prime factors. For sufficiently large $k$ we also show that one can take…

We prove that for all $n\geq 1$ there exists a number between $n^2$ and $(n+1)^2$ with at most 4 prime factors. This is the first result of this kind that holds for every $n\geq 1$ rather than just sufficiently large $n$. Our approach…

In this paper, we show that every pair of large even integers satisfying certain necessary conditions can be expressed as a pair of one prime, one prime square, two prime cubes and 56 powers of 2.

We consider the Linnik--Goldbach problem of writing all large even integers as the sum of two primes and a fixed number of powers of 2. We show that, under the generalised Riemann hypothesis, one can use 6 powers of two. In addition, we…

Every natural number greater than $2$ can be written as the sum of a prime and a square-free number, and recent work has imposed additional divisibility conditions on the square-free number. We overcome limitations in these works to prove…

We prove that every integer $n \geq 10$ such that $n \not\equiv 1 \text{mod} 4$ can be written as the sum of the square of a prime and a square-free number. This makes explicit a theorem of Erd\H{o}s that every sufficiently large integer of…

A positive integer n is said to be perfect if sigma(n)=2n, where sigma denotes the sum of the divisors of n. In this article, we show that if n is an even perfect number, then any integer m<=n is expressed as a sum of some of divisors of n.
