We provide very effective methods to convert both asymptotic and explicit numeric bounds on the prime counting function $\psi(x)$ to bounds of the same type on both $\theta(x)$ and $\pi(x)$. This follows up our previous work on $\psi(x)$ in…

In this paper, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of relatively prime pairs in the Piatetski-Shapiro sequence of arbitrarily large order. This improves the result of Pimsert, Srichan and Tangsupphathawat (2023), the order of…

Denote by $\pi(x;q,a)$ the number of primes $p\leqslant x$ with $p\equiv a\bmod q.$ We prove new upper bounds for $\pi(x;q,a)$ when $q$ is a large prime very close to $\sqrt{x}$, improving upon the classical work of Iwaniec (1982). The…

We obtain new results on additive properties of the set $$ I^{-1}= \{x^{-1}: \quad x\in I\} $$ where $I$ is an arbitrary interval in the field of residue classes modulo a large prime $p$. We combine our results with multilinear exponential…

By using an asymptotic formula known for the numbers of Euler and Bernoulli it is possible to obtain an explicit expression of the nth digit of $\pi$ in decimal or in binary, it also makes it possible to obtain the $n^{\rm th}$ digit of…

Let $\mathcal{A}'$ be the set of integers missing any three fixed digits from their decimal expansion. We produce primes in a thin sequence by proving an asymptotic formula for counting primes of the form $p = m^2 + \ell^2$, with $\ell \in…

We present several congruences modulo a power of prime $p$ concerning sums of the following type $\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}{m^k\over k^r}{2k\choose k}^{-1}$ which reveal some interesting connections with the analogous infinite series.

Let $K$ be the sum of the reciprocals of the integers with no occurrence of the digit $b-1$ in base $b$. We show $K = b\log(b) - A/b - B/b^2-C/b^3+O(1/b^4)$ with $A=\zeta(2)/2$, $B = (3\zeta(2)+\zeta(3))/3$ and $C =…

We provide an asymptotic estimate for certain sums over k-free integers with small prime factors. These sums depend upon a complex parameter \alpha and involve a smooth cut-off f. They are a variation of several classical number-theoretical…

We consider $\Phi(x)=x^{-\frac{1}{4}}\left[1-2\sqrt{x}\Sigma e^{-p^2\pi x}\ln p\right]$ on $x>0$, where the sum is over all primes $p$. If $\Phi$ is bounded on $x>0$, then the Riemann hypothesis is true or there are infinitely many zeros…
