Let $\omega(n)$ (resp. $\Omega(n)$) denote the number of prime divisors (resp. with multiplicity) of a natural number $n$. In 1917, Hardy and Ramanujan proved that the normal order of $\omega(n)$ is $\log\log n$, and the same is true of…

Let $\omega(n)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors of a natural number $n$. In 1917, Hardy and Ramanujan proved that $\omega(n)$ has normal order $\log \log n$ over naturals. In this work, we establish the first and the second…

The well-known Hardy--Ramanujan inequality states that if $\omega(n)$ denotes the number of distinct prime factors of a positive integer $n$, then there is an absolute constant $C>0$ such that uniformly for $x\ge2$ and $k\in\mathbb{N}$,…

Let $Q(n)$ denote the number of integers $1 \leq q \leq n$ whose prime factorization $q= \prod^{t}_{i=1}p^{a_i}_i$ satisfies $a_1\geq a_2\geq \ldots \geq a_t$. Hardy and Ramanujan proved that $$ \log Q(n) \sim \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{3}}…

We establish an analog of the Hardy-Ramanujan inequality for counting members of sifted sets with a given number of distinct prime factors. In particular, we establish a bound for the number of shifted primes p+a below x with k distinct…

In this paper we establish several results concerning the generalized Ramanujan primes. For $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $k \in \mathbb{R}_{> 1}$ we give estimates for the $n$th $k$-Ramanujan prime which lead both to generalizations and to…

In 1917, Hardy and Ramanujan showed that if $\omega(n)$ is the number of distinct prime factors of a randomly chosen positive integer $n,$ then the normal order of $\omega(n)$ is $\log \log \, n.$ This led Erd\H{o}s and Kac to prove their…

The $n$th Ramanujan prime is the smallest positive integer $R_n$ such that if $x \ge R_n$, then there are at least $n$ primes in the interval $(x/2,x]$. For example, Bertrand's postulate is $R_1 = 2$. Ramanujan proved that $R_n$ exists and…

In 1845, Bertrand conjectured that for all integers $x\ge2$, there exists at least one prime in $(x/2, x]$. This was proved by Chebyshev in 1860, and then generalized by Ramanujan in 1919. He showed that for any $n\ge1$, there is a…

The Hardy-Ramanujan formula for the number of integer partitions of $n$ is one of the most popular results in partition theory. While the unabridged final formula has been celebrated as reflecting the genius of its authors, it has become…

One of the questions of distribution of prime numbers is considered in the article. It is shown what error is obtained from the assumption that the asymptotic density of a sequence of primes is a probability. Various forms of an analogue of…

In 1915, Ramanujan proved asymptotic inequalities for the sum of divisors function, assuming the Riemann hypothesis (RH). We consider a strong version of Ramanujan's theorem and define highest abundant numbers that are extreme with respect…

We determine asymptotically the maximal order of log d(d(n)), where d(n) is the number of positive divisors of n. This solves a problem first put forth by Ramanujan in 1915.

In this paper, we introduce some explicit approximations for the summation $\sum_{k\leq n}\Omega(k)$, where $\Omega(k)$ is the total number of prime factors of $k$.

Let $p_{r,s}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$ into parts containing no multiples of $r$ or $s$, where $r>1$ and $s>1$ are square-free, relatively prime integers. We use classical methods to derive a…

In the present work we use maximum entropy methods to derive several theorems in probabilistic number theory, including a version of the Hardy-Ramanujan Theorem. We also provide a theoretical argument explaining the experimental…

In this paper, for a positive integer $n\ge 1$, we look at the size and prime factors of the iterates of the Ramanujan $\tau$ function applied to $n$.

The Hardy-Ramanujan partition function asymptotics is a famous result in the asymptotics of combinatorial sequences. It was originally derived using complex analysis and number-theoretic ideas by Hardy and Ramanujan. It was later re-derived…

The prime number theorem, established by Hadamard and de la Vall'ee Poussin independently in 1896, asserts that the density of primes in the positive integers is asymptotic to 1 / ln x. Whereas their proofs made serious use of the methods…

In 1918, Hardy and Ramanujan published a seminal paper which included an asymptotic formula for the partition function. In their paper, they also claim without proof an asymptotic equivalence for $p^k(n)$, the number of partitions of a…
