We compute all irregular primes less than 163,577,356. For all of these primes we verify that the Kummer-Vandiver conjecture holds and that the lambda-invariant is equal to the index of irregularity.
We study pairs of consecutive odd numbers through a straightforward indexing. We focus in particular on twin primes and their distribution. With a counting argument, we calculate the limit of an alternating sum that is equal to 1 which…
This paper contains some personal reflections on several computational contributions to what is now known as the "String Theory Landscape". It consists of two parts. The first part concerns the origin of big numbers, and especially the…
Jacobsthal's conjecture has been disproved by counterexample a few years ago. We continue to verify this conjecture on a larger scale. For this purpose, we implemented an extension of the Greedy Permutation Algorithm and computed the…
Natural numbers can be divided in two non-overlapping infinite sets, primes and composites, with composites factorizing into primes. Despite their apparent simplicity, the elucidation of the architecture of natural numbers with primes as…
We describe a database of 1779 continued fractions with polynomial coefficients, of which more than 1500 are new, both for interesting constants and for transcendental functions, and provide the database inside the \TeX\ source of the…
We give a variety of magic hexagons of Orders from 3 to 7, many of which are extensions of known results. We also give a theorem that their are an infinite number of magic hexagons of Order $n$ for any fixed positive integer $n$ for any…
Quantum computers can solve many number theory problems efficiently. Using the efficient quantum algorithm for order finding as an oracle, this paper presents an algorithm that computes the Carmichael function for any integer $N$ with a…
We prove the infinitude of shifted primes $p-1$ without prime factors above $p^{0.2844}$. This refines $p^{0.2961}$ from Baker and Harman in 1998. Consequently, we obtain an improved lower bound on the the distribution of Carmichael…
In this note we describe a new method of counting the number of unordered factorizations of a natural number by means of a generating function and a recurrence relation arising from it, which improves an earlier result in this direction.
Let $p_{1}<p_2<... <p_{\nu}<...$ be the sequence of prime numbers and let $m$ be a positive integer. We give a strong asymptotic formula for the distribution of the set of integers having prime factorizations of the form…
We describe some of the machinery behind recent progress in establishing infinitely many arithmetic progressions of length $k$ in various sets of integers, in particular in arbitrary dense subsets of the integers, and in the primes.
Is it true that for all $n\geq k\geq 2$ there exists a prime number between $kn$ and $(k+1)n$? In this paper we show that there is always a prime number between $4n$ and $5n$ for all $n>2$. We also show there are at least seven prime…
In this paper, we introduce two differential equations arising from the generating function of the Catalan numbers which are `inverses' to each other in some sense. From these differential equations, we obtain some new and explicit…
We count the number of irreducible polynomials in several variables of a given degree over a finite field. The results are expressed in terms of a generating series, an exact formula and an asymptotic approximation. We also consider the…
We study, from the viewpoint of metrical number theory and (infinite) ergodic theory, the probabilistic laws governing the occurrence of prime numbers as digits in continued fraction expansions of real numbers.
A natural number is called an {\lambda}-parasitic number if it is multiplied by integer {\lambda} as the rightmost digit moves to the front. The Full set of these numbers is known in the decimal system. Here, a formula to analytically…
We have calculated on the computer the sum $\bar{\BB}_M$ of reciprocals of all 47 known Mersenne primes with the accuracy of over 12000000 decimal digits. Next we developed $\bar{\BB}_M$ into the continued fraction and calculated…
A linear combination $aT_r(m)+bT_s(n)$ of an \mbox{$r$-gonal} number $T_r(m)$ and an $s$-gonal number $T_s(n)$ with mutually coprime positive integer coefficients $a$ and $b$ produces infinitely many primes as $m$ and~$n$ varies over the…
