A curious number is a palindromic number whose base ten representation has the form $a \ldots a b \ldots b a \ldots a$. In this paper, we determine all curious numbers that are perfect squares. Our proof involves reducing the search for…

We shall give an explicit upper bound for the smallest prime factor of multiperfect numbers of the form $N=p_1^{\alpha_1}\cdots p_s^{\alpha_s} q_1^{\beta_1}\cdots q_t^{\beta_t}$ with $\beta_1, \ldots, \beta_t$ bounded by a given constant.…

Let f\in \mathbb{Z}[x,y] be an irreducible homogeneous polynomial of degree 3. We show that f(x,y) has an even number of prime factors as often as an odd number of prime factors.

This research explores the sum of divisors - $\sigma(n)$ - and the abundancy index given by the function $\frac{\sigma(n)}{n}$. We give a generalization of amicable pairs - feebly amicable pairs (also known as harmonious pairs), that is…

In this paper, we prove the conjecture that if there is an odd perfect number, then there are infinitely many of them.

Let f in Z[x,y] be a reducible homoegeneous polynomial of degree 3. We show that f(x,y) has an even number of prime factors as often as an odd number of prime factors.

A perfect number is a positive integer n such that n equals the sum of all positive integer divisors of n that are less than n. That is, although n is a divisor of n, n is excluded from this sum. Thus 6 = 1 + 2 + 3 is perfect, but 12 < 1 +…

The fibbinary numbers are positive integers whose binary representation contains no consecutive ones. We prove the following result: If the $j$th odd fibbinary is the $n$th \emph{odd} fibbinary number, then $j = \lfloor n\phi^2 \rfloor -…

Every integer greater than two can be expressed as the sum of a prime and a square-free number. Expanding on recent work, we provide explicit and asymptotic results when divisibility conditions are imposed on the square-free number. For…

Every odd prime number p can be written in exactly (p + 1)/2 ways as a sum ab+cd of two ordered products ab and cd such that min(a, b) > max(c, d). An easy corollary is a proof of Fermat's Theorem expressing primes in 1 + 4N as sums of two…

This paper aims to address the relation between a magic square of odd order $n$ and a group, and their properties. By the modulo number $n$, we construct entries for each table from initial table of magic square with large number $n^2$.…

In this paper, we propose new generalizations of amicable numbers. We also give examples and prove properties of these new concepts.

Solitary numbers are shrouded with mystery. A folklore conjecture assert that 10 is a solitary number i.e. it has no friends. In this article, we establish that if $N$ is a friend of $10$ then it must be odd square with at least seven…

In this note, we show that if $N$ is an odd perfect number and $q^{\alpha}$ is some prime power exactly dividing it, then $\sigma(N/q^{\alpha})/q^{\alpha}>5$. In general, we also show that if $\sigma(N/q^{\alpha})/q^{\alpha}<K$, where $K$…

In a paper published by this author in www.academia.edu(see reference[3]), it was established that there exist no three positive integers which are consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression; and whose sum of squares is a perfect or…

A rationality condition is derived for the existence of odd perfect numbers involving the square root of a product, which consists of a sequence of repunits, multiplied by twice the base of one of the repunits. This constraint also provides…

We proved that any even number not less than 6 can be expressed as the sum of two old primes, $2n=p_i+p_j$

Any positive integer $n$ other than 10 with abundancy index 9/5 must be a square with at least 6 distinct prime factors, the smallest being 5. Further, at least one of the prime factors must be congruent to 1 modulo 3 and appear with an…

Motivated by questions of Fouvry and Rudnick on the distribution of Gaussian primes, we develop a very general setting in which one can study inequities in the distribution of analogues of primes through analytic properties of infinitely…

This document seeks to prove there are infinitely many primes whose difference is 2, referred to as twin prime pairs. This proof's methodology involves constructing a function that approximates the number of positive integers, less than a…
