A solitary number is a positive integer that shares its abundancy index only with itself. $10$ is the smallest positive integer suspected to be solitary, but no proof has been established so far. In this paper, we prove that not all half of…

For a real number $q>1$ and a positive integer $m$, let $Y_m(q):={\sum_{i=0}^n\epsilon_i q^i:\; \epsilon_i\in \{0, \pm 1,..., \pm m\}, n=0, 1,...}.$ In this paper, we show that $Y_m(q)$ is dense in ${\Bbb R}$ if and only if $q<m+1$ and $q$…

Weird numbers are abundant numbers that are not pseudoperfect. Since their introduction, the existence of odd weird numbers has been an open problem. In this work, we describe our computational effort to search for odd weird numbers, which…

Let $q\ne \pm1,v^2$ be a fixed integer, and let $x\geq 1$ be a large number. The least prime number $p \geq3 $ such that $q$ is a primitive root modulo $p$ is conjectured to be $p\ll (\log q)(\log \log q)^3),$ where $\gcd(p,q)=1$. This note…

A sieve is constructed for ordinary twin primes of the form 6m+/-1 that are characterized by their twin rank m. It has no parity problem. Non-rank numbers are identified and counted using odd primes p>=5. Twin- and non-ranks make up the set…

The primary Carmichael numbers were recently introduced as a special subset of the Carmichael numbers. A primary Carmichael number $m$ has the unique property that $s_p(m) = p$ holds for each prime factor $p$, where $s_p(m)$ is the sum of…

In 2005, E. Noel and G. Panos constructed a formula to count the number of semiprimes less than a given value $x$. In 2006, this formula was rediscovered independently by R.G. Wilson V. However, each citation of this result was simply…

We say a natural number~$n$ is abundant if $\sigma(n)>2n$, where $\sigma(n)$ denotes the sum of the divisors of~$n$. The aliquot parts of~$n$ are those divisors less than~$n$, and we say that an abundant number~$n$ is pseudoperfect if there…

Introduced by Kraitchik and Lehmer, an $x$-pseudosquare is a positive integer $n\equiv1\pmod 8$ that is a quadratic residue for each odd prime $p\le x$, yet is not a square. We use bounds of character sums to prove that pseudosquares are…

We establish a necessary condition for pseudoprimality and a sufficient condition for primality of Fermat numbers, based on a congruence involving the exponent $(F_n-1)/4$. Moreover, in connection with P\'epin's primality test, we obtain a…

Let $q_1, \ldots , q_t$ be distinct prime numbers. Let $a_1, \ldots , a_t$ be nonnegative integers. We establish effective lower bounds for $|z^d - q_1^{a_1} \ldots q_t^{a_t}|$ and for its greatest prime factor, which tend to infinity with…

We provide very effective methods to convert both asymptotic and explicit numeric bounds on the prime counting function $\psi(x)$ to bounds of the same type on both $\theta(x)$ and $\pi(x)$. This follows up our previous work on $\psi(x)$ in…

By the m-spectrum of a real number q>1 we mean the set Y^m(q) of values p(q) where p runs over the height m polynomials with integer coefficients. These sets have been extensively investigated during the last fifty years because of their…

We prove that for every irrational number $\alpha$, real number $\beta$, real number $c$ satisfying $1<c<9/8$ and positive real number $\theta$ satisfying $\theta<(9/c-8)/10$, there exist infinitely many primes of the form…

For a region $\Omega \subset\mathbb{C}$ denote by $\Psi(Q;\Omega)$ the number of complex algebraic numbers in $\Omega$ of degree $\leq n$ and naive height $\leq Q$. We show that $$…

In this note we present an alternative (simple) construction of cardioidal starters (strong and Skolem) for $\mathbb{Z}_{q^n}$, where $q\equiv3$ (mod 8) is an odd prime number and $n\geq1$ is an integer number; also for $\mathbb{Z}_{pq}$…

It has been established on many occasions that the set of quotients of prime numbers is dense in the set of positive real numbers. More recently, it has been proved that the set of quotients of primes in the Gaussian integers is dense in…

In this paper we establish function field versions of two classical conjectures on prime numbers. The first says that the number of primes in intervals (x,x+x^epsilon] is about x^epsilon/log x and the second says that the number of primes…

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…

Most prime gaps results have been proven using tools from analytic or algebraic number theory in the last few centuries. In this paper, we would like to present some probabilistic way of proving many essential results. A major component of…
