In this paper we use a theorem first proved by S.W.Golomb and a famous inequality by J.B. Rosser and L.Schoenfeld in order to prove that there exists an exact formula for $\pi(n)$ which holds infinitely often.

Let $1<c<\frac{1787}{1502}$ and $N$ be a sufficiently large real number. In this paper, it is proved that for any arbitrarily large number $E>0$ and for almost all real $R \in (N,2N]$, the Diophantine inequality…

We show that the sequence of integers which have nearly the typical number of distinct prime factors forms a Poisson process. More precisely, for $\de$ arbitrarily small and positive, the nearest neighbor spacings between integers $n$ with…

Let $1 < c < 24/19$. We show that the number of integers $n \le N$ that cannot be written as $[p_1^c] + [p_2^c]$ ($p_1$, $p_2$ primes) is $O(N^{1-\sigma+\varepsilon})$. Here $\sigma$ is a positive function of $c$ (given explicitly) and…

In this paper we prove several inequalities for binomial coefficients. For instance, if $ k$ and $n$ are positive integers such that $n\ge 400$ and $[\frac n5]\le k\le [\frac n2]$, where $[x]$ is the greatest integer not exceeding $x$, then…

Let $m \in \mathbb{N}$ be large. We show that there exist infinitely many primes $q_{1}< \cdot\cdot\cdot < q_{m+1}$ such that \[ q_{m+1}-q_{1}=O(e^{7.63m}) \] and $q_{j}+2$ has at most \[ \frac{7.36m}{\log 2} + \frac{4\log m}{\log 2} + 21…

By a sphere-packing argument, we show that there are infinitely many pairs of primes that are close to each other for some metrics on the integers. In particular, for any numeration basis $q$, we show that there are infinitely many pairs of…

We arrive at some new relations for the prime number $P_n$, based on the logarithmic and absolute-value properties of the function $\pi(x)$.

Given an integer $g$ and also some given integers $m$ (sufficiently large) and $c_1,\dots, c_m$, we show that the number of all non-negative integers $n\le M$ with the property that there exist non-negative integers $k_1,\dots, k_m$ such…

We investigate integer numbers which possess at the same time the properties to be triangulars and squares, that are, numbers $a$ for which do exist integers $m$ and $n$ such that $ a = n^2 = \frac{m \cdot (m+1)}{2} $. In particular, we are…

Let $s_1, s_2, \ldots$ be the sequence of positive integers, arranged in increasing order, that are representable by any binary quadratic form of fixed discriminant $D$. We show that \[ \limsup_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{s_{n+1}-s_n}{\log…

If $N = {q^k}{n^2}$ is an odd perfect number, where $q$ is the Euler prime, then we show that $n < q$ is sufficient for Sorli's conjecture that $k = \nu_{q}(N) = 1$ to hold. We also prove that $q^k < 2/3{n^2}$, and that $I(q^k) < I(n)$,…

We provide an elementary proof of the left side inequality and improve the right inequality in \bigg[\frac{n!}{x-(x^{-1/n}+\alpha)^{-n}}\bigg]^{\frac{1}{n+1}}&<((-1)^{n-1}\psi^{(n)})^{-1}(x)…

Prime number theorem asserts that (at large $x$) the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ is approximately the logarithmic integral $\mbox{li}(x)$. In the intermediate range, Riemann prime counting function $\mbox{Ri}^{(N)}(x)=\sum_{n=1}^N…

We use Maynard's methods to show that there are bounded gaps between primes in the sequence $\{\lfloor n\alpha\rfloor\}$, where $\alpha$ is an irrational number of finite type. In addition, given a superlinear function $f$ satisfying some…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we prove that for all $x\geq 2$, there exists at least one even integer within the interval $(x, x+123\log^2x]$, that can be expressed as the sum of two primes. This result is an improvement over the recent…

We study values of k for which the interval (kn,(k+1)n) contains a prime for every n>1. We prove that the list of such integers k includes k=1,2,3,5,9,14, and no others, at least for k<=50,000,000. For every known k of this list, we give a…

For $n\ge 1$, the $n^{\rm th}$ Ramanujan prime is defined as the smallest positive integer $R_n$ such that for all $x\ge R_n$, the interval $(\frac{x}{2}, x]$ has at least $n$ primes. We show that for every $\epsilon>0$, there is a positive…

Let $d_1 = 1 < d_2 < d_3 < \cdots < d_{\tau(n)} = n$ denote the increasing sequence of the divisors of a positive integer $n$. In this paper, for real or complex values of $\alpha$, we define and study some properties of two new divisor…

If $N = {p^k}{m^2}$ is an odd perfect number with special prime factor $p$, then it is proved that ${p^k} < (2/3){m^2}$. Numerical results on the abundancy indices $\frac{\sigma(p^k)}{p^k}$ and $\frac{\sigma(m^2)}{m^2}$, and the ratios…
