In this Note we introduce a new methodology for Bayesian inference through the use of $\phi$-divergences and the duality technique. The asymptotic laws of the estimates are established.
Let $\pi(x;\gamma_1,\gamma_2)$ denote the number of primes $p$ with $p\leqslant x$ and $p=\lfloor n^{1/\gamma_1}_1\rfloor=\lfloor n^{1/\gamma_2}_2\rfloor$, where $\lfloor t\rfloor$ denotes the integer part of $t\in\mathbb{R}$ and…
Novelty detection methods aim at partitioning the test units into already observed and previously unseen patterns. However, two significant issues arise: there may be considerable interest in identifying specific structures within the…
It is proven that there are infinitely prime pairs whose difference is no greater than 84. In proving that result, a new sieve weight is constructed. The new idea is to construct the largest sieve support which admits the use of the…
In this paper we study the asymptotic theory for samples problem based on the functional empirical process (fep), this new method is called general samples problem. We suggest this method to develop the full theory of estimation of means,…
For "almost all" sufficiently large $N,$ satisfying necessary congruence conditions and $k\geq 2$, we show that there is an {\bf asymptotic formula} for the number of solutions of the equation \begin{align*} \begin{split}…
We develop the foundations of a general framework for producing optimal upper and lower bounds on the sum $\sum_p a_p$ over primes $p$, where $(a_n)_{x/2<n\le x}$ is an arbitrary non-negative sequence satisfying Type I and Type II…
This document presents an alternative proof of Sylvester's theorem stating that "the product of $n$ consecutive numbers strictly greater than $n$ is divisible by a prime strictly greater than $n$". In addition, the paper proposes stronger…
We provide an elementary proof of an asymptotic formula for prime counting functions. As a minor application we give a new reduction of the proof of Chebotar\"ev's density theorem to the cyclic case.
The basic idea of voting protocols is that nodes query a sample of other nodes and adjust their own opinion throughout several rounds based on the proportion of the sampled opinions. In the classic model, it is assumed that all nodes have…
When restricted to some non-negative multiplicative function, say f, bounded on primes and that vanishes on non square-free integers, our result provides us with an asymptotic for $\sum_{n \le X}f(n)/n$ with error term $O((\log…
We consider the model selection problem for a large class of time series models, including, multivariate count processes, causal processes with exogenous covariates. A procedure based on a general penalized contrast is proposed. Some…
In this note we generalise a method of Perott to give new proofs that there are infinitely many prime numbers.
A large class of problems in sciences and engineering can be formulated as the general problem of constructing random intervals with pre-specified coverage probabilities for the mean. Wee propose a general approach for statistical inference…
An asymptotic formula for the sum of the first n primes is derived. This result improves the previous results of P. Dusart. Using this asymptotic expansion, we prove the conjectures of R. Mandl and G. Robin on the upper and the lower bound…
In this paper we prove new cases of the asymptotic Fermat equation with coefficients. This is done by solving remarkable $S$-units equations and applying a method of Frey-Mazur.
It is known that there are infinitely-many prime numbers which take the form of a polynomial of degree one with integer coefficients, this is Dirichlet's theorem. We use an elementary sieving argument together with bounds on the prime…
In this expository article, we describe the recent approach, motivated by ergodic theory, towards detecting arithmetic patterns in the primes, and in particular establishing that the primes contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions.…
We present the formalization of Dirichlet's theorem on the infinitude of primes in arithmetic progressions, and Selberg's elementary proof of the prime number theorem, which asserts that the number $\pi(x)$ of primes less than $x$ is…
Every natural number greater than $2$ can be written as the sum of a prime and a square-free number, and recent work has imposed additional divisibility conditions on the square-free number. We overcome limitations in these works to prove…
