Let $\mathcal{P}_r$ denote an almost-prime with at most $r$ prime factors, counted according to multiplicity. In this paper, we generalize the result of Vaughan for ternary admissible exponent. Moreover, we use the refined admissible…

Euler showed that there can be no more than three integer squares in arithmetic progression. In quadratic number fields, Xarles has shown that there can be arithmetic progressions of five squares, but not of six. Here, we prove that there…

We consider the problem of computing the Euler characteristic of an abstract simplicial complex given by its vertices and facets. We show that this problem is #P-complete and present two new practical algorithms for computing Euler…

Chebyshev famously observed empirically that more often than not, there are more primes of the form $3 \bmod 4$ up to $x$ than of the form $1 \bmod 4$. This was confirmed theoretically much later by Rubinstein and Sarnak in a logarithmic…

In this note, we propose simple summations for primes, which involve two finite nested sums and Bernoulli numbers. The summations can also be expressed in terms of Bernoulli polynomials.

In this paper, we make some conjectures on prime numbers that are sharper than those found in the current literature. First we describe our studies on Legendre's Conjecture which is still unsolved. Next, we show that Brocard's Conjecture…

In this paper, we derived the parametric solution of Euler and Elkies, xyz(x+y+z) = a, in an elementary manner. In addition we proved there are infinitely many parametric solutions of Euler's and Elkies's family of solutions.

This paper demonstrates that from the Cramer's, Hardy-Littlewood's and Bateman-Horn's conjectures (suggest that the probability of a large positive integer being $x$ a prime - $\frac {1} {\ln(x)}$) it follows that the events consisting in a…

We give an explicit formulae for obtaining the translation symmetries in the cartesian product $X^N$, where $N$ is some positive integer and $X$ is some finite set. Moreover, we obtain some fundamental results from elementary number theory.

E30 in the Enestrom index. Translated from the Latin original "De formis radicum aequationum cuiusque ordinis coniectatio" (1733). For an equation of degree n, Euler wants to define a "resolvent equation" of degree n-1 whose roots are…

In this paper proof of the twin prime conjecture is going to be presented. Originally very difficult problem (in observational space) has been transformed into a simpler one (in generative space) that can be solved. It will be shown that…

For two relatively prime square-free positive integers $a$ and $b$, we study integers of the form $a p+b P_{2}$ and give a new lower bound for the number of such representations, where $a p$ and $b P_{2}$ are both square-free, $p$ denote a…

We look at upper bounds for the count of certain primes related to the Fermat numbers $F_n=2^{2^n}+1$ called elite primes. We first note an oversight in a result of Krizek, Luca and Somer and give the corrected, slightly weaker upper bound.…
