With the formula of Gandhi you can determine the on $p_n$ immedately subsequent prime $p_{n+1}$ from the knowledge of the primes $p_1, p_2, ... , p_n$. An elementary proof of its trueness will be detailed shown in this paper. Finally the…
For $n=1,2,3,\ldots$ let $S_n$ be the sum of the first $n$ primes. We mainly show that the sequence $a_n=\root n\of{S_n/n}\ (n=1,2,3,\ldots)$ is strictly decreasing, and moreover the sequence $a_{n+1}/a_n\ (n=10,11,\ldots)$ is strictly…
We establish the existence of infinitely many \emph{polynomial} progressions in the primes; more precisely, given any integer-valued polynomials $P_1, >..., P_k \in \Z[\m]$ in one unknown $\m$ with $P_1(0) = ... = P_k(0) = 0$ and any $\eps…
Two constructed prime number subsets (called prime brother & sisters and prime cousins) lead to a third one (called isolated primes) so that all three disjoint subsets together generate the prime number set. It should be suggested how the…
We are interested in classifying those sets of primes $\mathcal{P}$ such that when we sieve out the integers up to $x$ by the primes in $\mathcal{P}^c$ we are left with roughly the expected number of unsieved integers. In particular, we…
We present and analyze an algorithm to enumerate all integers $n\le x$ that can be written as the sum of consecutive $k$th powers of primes, for $k>1$. We show that the number of such integers $n$ is asymptotically bounded by a constant…
The prime detecting function (PDF) approach can be effective instrument in the investigation of numbers. The PDF is constructed by recurrence sequence - each successive prime adds a sieving factor in the form of PDF. With built-in prime…
Currently there is no known efficient formula for primes. Besides that, prime numbers have great importance in e.g., information technology such as public-key cryptography, and their position and possible or impossible functional generation…
In this paper, we use the transference principle to investigate the representation of sufficiently large positive integers as the sum of prime powers and integer powers, where the primes are drawn from a positive density subset of the set…
The paper exploits an isomorphism between the natural numbers N and a space U of periodic sequences of the roots of unity in constructing a recursive procedure for representing and computing the prime numbers. The nth wave number ${\bf…
The idea of generating prime numbers through sequence of sets of co-primes was the starting point of this paper that ends up by proving two conjectures, the existence of infinitely many twin primes and the Goldbach conjecture. The main idea…
We propose a criterion that allows one to distinguish prime numbers from compound ones. This criterion is based on the counting of small quadratic residues.
We show that the Gaussian primes $P[i] \subseteq \Z[i]$ contain infinitely constellations of any prescribed shape and orientation. More precisely, given any distinct Gaussian integers $v_0,...,v_{k-1}$, we show that there are infinitely…
Translated from the Latin original "Facillima methodus plurimos numeros primos praemagnos inveniendi" (1778). E718 in the Enestrom index. If m is a number of the form 4k+1 and is a sum of two relatively prime squares, then it is prime if…
We pose 100 new conjectures on representations involving primes or related things, which might interest number theorists and stimulate further research. Below are five typical examples: (i) For any positive integer $n$, there exists…
We study additive properties of consecutive prime numbers and the primality of the sums they generate. For a given prime number $p_n$, we consider the sums \[ S_k(p_n) = p_n + p_{n+1} + \cdots + p_{n+k-1}, \] where $k \ge 3$ is an odd…
We introduce an algorithmic approach based on generating tree method for enumerating the inversion sequences with various pattern-avoidance restrictions. For a given set of patterns, we propose an algorithm that outputs either an accurate…
We investigate the special class of formulas made up of arbitrary but finite com- binations of addition, multiplication, and exponentiation gates. The inputs to these formulas are restricted to the integral unit 1. In connection with such…
This work is meant to demonstrate new class of prime numbers -- cyclic prime numbers, that can be derived from any prime number at certain numeric systems. Cyclic prime numbers are also related to the cyclic numbers and full reptend prime…
The prime-counting function $\pi(x)$ which returns the number of primes smaller or equal to a given number is a topic of interest in number theory. An algorithm based on a cyclic group isomorphic to $Z/nZ$, the so-called $Z$-functions, was…
