We present a function that tests for primality, factorizes composites and builds a closed form expression of $\pi(n^2)$ in terms of $\sum_{3 \leq p \leq n} \frac{1}{p}$ and a weaker version of $\omega(n)$.
In the paper, the occurrence of zeros and ones in the binary expansion of the primes is studied. In particular the statement in the title is established. The proof is unconditional.
We give examples of atomic integral domains satisfying each of the eight logically possible combinations of existence or non-existence of the following kinds of elements: 1) primes, 2) absolutely irreducible elements that are not prime, and…
We compute all primes up to $6.25\times 10^{28}$ of the form $m^2+1$. Calculations using this list verify, up to our bound, a less famous conjecture of Goldbach. We introduce `Goldbach champions' as part of the verification process and…
This paper presents two efficient primality tests that quickly and accurately test all integers up to $2^{64}$.
In this work initial numbers and repunit numbers have been studied. All numbers have been considered in a decimal notation. The problem of simplicity of initial numbers has been studied. Interesting properties of numbers repunit are proved:…
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…
In this article, we give an account of some recent irreducibility testing criteria for polynomials having integer coefficients over the field of rational numbers.
Comparative prime number theory is the study of the {\em{discrepancies}} of distributions when we compare the number of primes in different residue classes. This work presents a list of the problems being investigated in comparative prime…
Deciding the positivity of a sequence defined by a linear recurrence with polynomial coefficients and initial condition is difficult in general. Even in the case of recurrences with constant coefficients, it is known to be decidable only…
Distribution testing is a fundamental statistical task with many applications, but we are interested in a variety of problems where systematic mislabelings of the sample prevent us from applying the existing theory. To apply distribution…
Let $n,k\in\mathbb{N}$ and let $p_{n}$ denote the $n$th prime number. We define $p_{n}^{(k)}$ recursively as $p_{n}^{(1)}:=p_{n}$ and $p_{n}^{(k)}=p_{p_{n}^{(k-1)}}$, that is, $p_{n}^{(k)}$ is the $p_{n}^{(k-1)}$th prime. In this note we…
New cases of the multiplicity conjecture are considered.
I give some claims on primorial prime numbers for interested readers in number theory.
Nearly linear recurrences are a generalisation of linear recurrences and are instances of linear time-invariant systems in control theory and linear constraint loops in program analysis. In this paper we formulate the Positivity Problem for…
In this paper, we provide a generalization of Proth's theorem for integers of the form $Kp^n+1$. In particular, a primality test that requires only one modular exponentiation similar to that of Fermat's test without the computation of any…
We bound from below the number of shifted primes p+s<x that have a divisor in a given interval (y,z]. Kevin Ford has obtained upper bounds of the expected order of magnitude on this quantity as well as lower bounds in a special case of the…
This paper introduces a new method to find the next prime number after a given prime ${P}$. The proposed method is used to derive a system of inequalities, that serve as constraints which should be satisfied by all primes whose successor is…
We give a bound on the primes dividing the denominators of invariants of Picard curves of genus 3 with complex multiplication. Unlike earlier bounds in genus 2 and 3, our bound is based not on bad reduction of curves, but on a very explicit…
We present some Euler-type recurrences for the partition function $p(n)$.
