In this article, we derive a congruence property of particular sum rules involving prime numbers. The resulting expression involves Bernoulli numbers and polynomials, for which we obtain, as a consequence, a general congruence relation as…
The paper considers estimates for some sums and products of functions of prime numbers. Several assertions on this topic have been proven. We also study extremal estimates for strongly additive and strongly multiplicative arithmetic…
Dickson conjectured that a set of polynomials will take on infinitely many simultaneous prime values. Later others, such as Hardy and Littlewood, gave estimates for the number of these primes. In this article we look at this conjecture,…
A recent heuristic argument based on basic concepts in spectral analysis showed that the twin prime conjecture and a few other related primes counting problems are valid. A rigorous version of the spectral method, and a proof for the…
We present a deterministic relationship between relative primes and twin primes in successively larger sequences of the natural numbers. This enables setting a finite lower limit on the occurrence of actual twin primes in an unbounded…
Polynomial time primality tests for specific classes of numbers of the form $k\cdot 2^m \pm 1$ are introduced.
The article attempts to demonstrate the rich history of one truly remarkable problem situated at the confluence of probability theory and theory of numbers - finding the probability of co-primality of two randomly selected natural numbers.…
We give a new sufficient condition which allows to test primality of Fermat's numbers. This characterization uses uniquely values at most equal to tested Fermat number. The robustness of this result is due to a strict use of elementary…
Bounds and other relations involving variables connected with Carmichael numbers are reviewed and extended. Families of numbers or individual numbers attaining or approaching these bounds are given. A new algorithm for finding three-prime…
It has been established on many occasions that the set of quotients of prime numbers is dense in the set of positive real numbers. More recently, it has been proved that the set of quotients of primes in the Gaussian integers is dense in…
In this paper we study some structure properties of primitive weird numbers in terms of their factorization. We give sufficient conditions to ensure that a positive integer is weird. Two algorithms for generating weird numbers having a…
We study an extension of Montgomery's pair-correlation conjecture and its relevance in some problems on the distribution of prime numbers.
The Stirling numbers of the first kind can be represented in terms of a new class of polynomials that are closely related to the Bernoulli polynomials. Recursion relations for these polynomials are given.
We define and study a transform whose iterates bring to the fore interesting relations between Pisot numbers and primes. Although the relations we describe are general, they take a particular form in the Pisot limit points. We give three…
We provide two new proofs of the infinitude of prime numbers, using the additive Ramsey-theoretic result known as Folkman's theorem (alternatively, one can think of these proofs as using Hindman's theorem). This adds to the existing…
For earlier considered our sequence A166944 in [4] we prove three statements of its connection with twin primes. We also give a sufficient condition for the infinity of twin primes and pose several new conjectures; among them we propose a…
We showed that the prime gap for a prime number p is less than or equal to the prime count of the prime number.
Representations of primes by simple quadratic forms, such as $\pm a^2\pm qb^2$, is a subject that goes back to Fermat, Lagrange, Legendre, Euler, Gauss and many others. We are interested in a comprehensive list of such results, for $q\le…
It is shown that the first $n$ prime numbers $p_1,...,p_n$ determine the next one by the recursion equation $$ p_{n+1} =\lim\limits_{s\to +\infty} [\prod\limits^n_{k=1} (1-\frac{1}{p^s_k}) \sum\limits^\infty_{j=1} \frac{1}{j^s} -1]^{-1/s}.…
New exceptional (i.e. non-repeating) prime number multiplets are given and formulated in terms of arithmetic progressions, along with laws governing them. Accompanying repeating prime number multiplets are pointed out. Prime number…
