In this paper we give an additive representation of the factorial, which can be proven by a simple quick analytical argument. We also present some generalizations, which are linked, on the one hand to an arithmetical theorem proven by Euler…

We consider the problem of factoring permutations as a product of special types of transpositions, namely, those transpositions involving two positions with bounded distances. In particular, we investigate the minimum number, $\delta$, such…

Prime numbers are fascinating by the way they appear in the set of natural numbers. Despite several results enlighting us about their repartition, the set of prime numbers is often informally qualified as misterious. In the present paper,…

We investigate the probability that a random odd composite number passes a random Fermat primality test, improving on earlier estimates in moderate ranges. For example, with random numbers to $2^{200}$, our results improve on prior…

We show that an elementary proof of Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) exists. Our paper also extends the scope of FLT from integers to all rational numbers.

We recall Charles Babbage's 1819 criterion for primality, based on simultaneous congruences for binomial coefficients, and extend it to a least-prime-factor test. We also prove a partial converse of his non-primality test, based on a single…

This note presents a formalisation done in Coq of Lucas-Lehmer test and Pocklington certificate for prime numbers. They both are direct consequences of Fermat little theorem. Fermat little theorem is proved using elementary group theory and…

For any given finite abelian group, we give factorizations of the group determinant in the group algebra of any subgroup. The factorizations are an extension of Dedekind's theorem. The extension leads to a generalization of Dedekind's…

We present a development of norms and discuss their relationship to factorization. In earlier work, the first named author introduced the notion of a normset, which is the image of the norm map. A normset is a monoid with its own…

Factorization is the most fundamental way to determine if a number $n$ is prime or composite. Yet, this approach becomes impracticable when considering large values of $n$, a difficulty that is exploited by cryptographic protocols. We…

Based on the principle of causality, I advance a new principle of variation and try to use it as the most general principle for research into laws of nature.

The theorem of factorisation forests shows the existence of nested factorisations -- a la Ramsey -- for finite words. This theorem has important applications in semigroup theory, and beyond. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the…

Factorization -- a simple form of standardization -- is concerned with reduction strategies, i.e. how a result is computed. We present a new technique for proving factorization theorems for compound rewriting systems in a modular way, which…

We show some elementary facts about the semantical analogue of Parikh's Splitting, which we call Factorization.

As an extension of the classical irreducibility result of Dumas, a factorization result for polynomials over any valued field with a Krull valuation of arbitrary rank is proved. Further, a lower degree factor bound on factors of a given…

In this paper we generalize the classical Proth's theorem for integers of the form $N=Kp^n+1$. For these families, we present a primality test whose computational complexity is $\widetilde{O}(\log^2(N))$ and, what is more important, that…

We call an integer N>1 primover to base a if it either prime or overpseudoprime to base a. We prove, in particular, that every Fermat number is primover to base 2. We also indicate a simple process of receiving of primover divisors of…

A new elementary proof of the prime number theorem presented recently in the framework of a scale invariant extension of the ordinary analysis is re-examined and clarified further. Both the formalism and proof are presented in a much more…

Quantification starts with sum and product rules that express combination and partition. These rules rest on elementary symmetries that have wide applicability, which explains why arithmetical adding up and splitting into proportions are…

The problem of simplicity of Fermat number-twins $f_{n}^{\pm}=2^{2^n}\pm3$ is studied. The question for what $n$ numbers $f_{n}^{\pm}$ are composite is investigated. The factor-identities for numbers of a kind $x^2 \pm k $ are found.
