Let $\{p_j(n)\}_{j=1}^{\omega(n)}$ denote the increasing sequence of distinct prime factors of an integer $n$. For $z\geqslant 0$, let $G(n;z)$ denote the number of those indexes $j$ such that $p_{j+1}(n)>p_j(n)^{\exp z}$. We show uniform…

The $n$th Ramanujan prime is the smallest positive integer $R_n$ such that if $x \ge R_n$, then the interval $(x/2,x]$ contains at least $n$ primes. We sharpen Laishram's theorem that $R_n < p_{3n}$ by proving that the maximum of…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ denote the set of all primes. In 1950, P. Erd\H{o}s conjectured that if $c$ is an arbitrarily given constant, $x$ is sufficiently large and $a_1,\dots , a_t$ are positive integers with $a_1<a_2<\cdot\cdot\cdot<a_t\leqslant…

A primorial prime is a prime number of the form $p_n\# \pm 1$ where $p_n\#$ denotes the product of all primes less than or equal to $p_{n}$, the $n$-th prime. We show that the probability along the lines of Mertens' Theorem that either…

Building on the earlier works of Gadiyar and Padma, the main result of this paper is to prove: \begin{equation} \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^{N} \frac{\phi(n) \Lambda\left(n \right)}{n} \frac{\phi(n+h) \Lambda\left(n…

S. Ramanujan introduced a technique in 1913 for providing analytic expressions for certain Mellin-type integrals which is now known as Ramanujan's Master Theorem. This technique was communicated through his "Quarterly Reports" and has a…

Explicit formulas involving a generalized Ramanujan sum are derived. An analogue of the prime number theorem is obtained and equivalences of the Riemann hypothesis are shown. Finally, explicit formulas of Bartz are generalized.

A set S of integers is said to be multiplicative if for every pair m and n of coprime integers we have that mn is in S iff both m and n are in S. Both Landau and Ramanujan gave approximations to S(x), the number of n<=x that are in S, for…

Billingsley's theorem (1972) asserts that the Poisson--Dirichlet process is the limit, as $n \to \infty$, of the process giving the relative log sizes of the largest prime factor, the second largest, and so on, of a random integer chosen…

The Lucas-Lehmer (LL) primality test for Mersenne numbers is the fastest known primality test. In 1969, Hans Riesel published a modification of LL to test numbers of the form $N = h \cdot 2^n - 1$, where $h < 2^n$ is an odd integer and $n…

In 1918 S. Ramanujan defined a family of trigonometric sum now known as Ramanujan sums. In the last few years, Ramanujan sums have inspired the signal processing community. In this paper, we have defined an operator termed here as Ramanujan…

In this paper we prove two results. The first theorem uses a paper of Kim \cite{K} to show that for fixed primes $p_1,...,p_k$, and for fixed integers $m_1,...,m_k$, with $p_i\not|m_i$, the numbers $(e_{p_1}(n),...,e_{p_k}(n))$ are…

We discuss properties of certain generalization of Power Means proposed in 1971 by Carlson, Meany and Nelson. For any fixed parameter (k,s,q) and vector (v_1,...,v_n) they take the q-th power means of all possible k-tuples…

Let ${\mathfrak S}_n$ denote the symmetric group with $n$ letters, and $g(n)$ the maximal order of an element of ${\mathfrak S}_n$. If the standard factorization of $M$ into primes is $M=q_1^{\al_1}q_2^{\al_2}... q_k^{\al_k}$, we define…

In this paper, we are going to prove a famous problem concerning prime numbers. Bertrand postulate states that there is always a prime p with n < p < 2n, if n > 1. Bertrand postulate is not a newer one to be proven, in fact, after his…

We study some arithmetic properties of the Ramanujan function $\tau(n)$, such as the largest prime divisor $P(\tau(n))$ and the number of distinct prime divisors $\omega(\tau(n))$ of $\tau(n)$ for various sequences of $n$. In particular, we…

The prime number graph is the set of points $(n,p_n)$ where $p_n$ denotes the $n^{\rm th}$ prime. Let $L(n)$ be the minimum number of straight line segments needed to cover the first $n$ points in this set. Let $B(n)$ be the largest number…

Principal points were first introduced by Flury: for a positive integer $n$, $n$ principal points of a random variable are the $n$ points that minimize the mean squared distance between the random variable and the nearest of the $n$ points.…

Under Cram\'er's conjecture concerning the prime numbers, we prove that for any $x>1$, there exists a real $A=A(x)>1$ for which the formula $[A^{n^x}]$ (where $[]$ denotes the integer part) gives a prime number for any positive integer $n$.…

Hasanalizade [1] studied Deaconescu's conjecture for positive composite integer $n$. A positive composite integer $n\geq4$ is said to be a Deaconescu number if $S_2(n)\mid \phi(n)-1$. In this paper, we improve Hasanalizade's result by…
