A new inequality, $(x)^{p}+(1-x)^{\frac{1}{p}}\leq1$ for $p \geq 1$ and $\frac{1}{2} \geq x \geq 0$ is found and proved. The inequality looks elegant as it integrates two number pairs ($x$ and $1-x$, $p$ and $\frac{1}{p}$) whose summation…

In this paper, we obtained some inequalities for \phi_{s}-convex function, \phi-Godunova-Levin function, \phi-P-function and log-\phi-convex function. Finally, we defined the class of \phi-quasi-convex functions and we examined some…

In this paper, we prove a trace inequality $\text{Tr}[ f(A) A^s B^s ] \leq \text{Tr}[ f(A) (A^{1/2} B A^{1/2} )^s ]$ for any positive and monotone increasing function $f$, $s\in[0,1]$, and positive semi-definite matrices $A$ and $B$. On the…

In this paper, we give sharp bounds of the difference of the moduli of the second and the first logarithmic coefficient for the functions on the class $\mathcal U$, for the $\alpha$-convex functions, and for the class $\mathcal{G}(\alpha)$…

Let $\overline{p}(n)$ denote the overpartition function. In this paper, we obtain an inequality for the sequence $\Delta^{2}\log \ \sqrt[n-1]{\overline{p}(n-1)/(n-1)^{\alpha}}$ which states that \begin{equation*} \log…

Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character mod $D$ with $L(s,\chi)$ its associated $L$-function, and let $\psi(x,q,a)$ be Chebyshev's prime-counting function for primes congruent to $a$ modulo $q$. We show that under the assumption of an…

We improve the lower bound for $V(T)$, the number of sign changes of the error term $\psi(x)-x$ in the Prime Number Theorem in the interval $[1,T]$ for large $T$. We show that \[ \liminf_{T\to\infty}\frac{V(T)}{\log…

In this paper we introduce the prime index function \begin{align}\iota(n)=(-1)^{\pi(n)},\nonumber \end{align} where $\pi(n)$ is the prime counting function. We study some elementary properties and theories associated with the partial sums…

The aim of this work is to improve Wilker inequalities near the origin and {\pi}/2.

A new parametric integral is obtained as a consequence of the Riemann hypothesis. An asymptotic multiplicability is the main property of this integral.

In this paper we give a new semiprimality test and we construct a new formula for $\pi ^{(2)}(N)$, the function that counts the number of semiprimes not exceeding a given number $N$. We also present new formulas to identify the $n^{th}$…

Given a zero-free region and an averaged zero-density estimate over all Dirichlet $L$-functions modulo $q\in\mathbb{N}$, we refine the error terms of the prime number theorem in all and almost all short arithmetic progressions. For example,…

In this paper, we prove some inequalities for the differences and ratios of the beta function.

Prime numbers are one of the most intriguing figures in mathematics. Despite centuries of research, many questions remain still unsolved. In recent years, computer simulations are playing a fundamental role in the study of an immense…

We investigate the approximation to the number of primes in arithmetic progressions given by Vaughan. Instead of averaging the expected error term over all residue classes to modules in a given range, here we only consider subsets of…

Let $x\geq 1$ be a large number, and let $1 \leq a <q $ be integers such that $\gcd(a,q)=1$ and $q=O(\log^c)$ with $c>0$ constant. This note proves that the counting function for the number of primes $p \in \{p=qn+a: n \geq1 \}$ with a…

We survey results about prime number races, that is, results about the relative sizes of prime counting functions $\pi_{q,a}(x)$, with $q$ fixed and $a$ varying. In particular, we describe recent work by the authors on these problems.

We prove some new lower bounds for the counting function $\mathcal N_{\mathcal C}(x)$ of the set of Nov\'ak-Carmichael numbers. Our estimates depend on the bounds for the number of shifted primes without large prime factors. In particular,…

The Gini index underestimates inequality for heavy-tailed distributions: for example, a Pareto distribution with exponent 1.5 (which has infinite variance) has the same Gini index as any exponential distribution (a mere 0.5). This is…

For $k\ge1$, let $R_k(x)$ denote the reciprocal sum up to $x$ of numbers with $k$ prime factors, counted with multiplicity. In prior work, the authors obtained estimates for $R_k(x)$, extending Mertens' second theorem, as well as a…
