The famous irreducibility criteria of Sch\"onemann-Eisenstein and Dumas rely on information on the divisibility of the coefficients of a polynomial by a single prime number. In this paper we provide several irreducibility criteria of…
With help of $q$-congruence, we prove the divisibility of some binomial sums. For example, for any integers $\rho,n\geq 2$, $$\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(4k+1) \binom{2k}{k}^\rho \cdot (-4)^{\rho(n-1-k)} \equiv 0\pmod{2^{\rho-2}n\binom{2n}{n}}.$$
This paper is aimed to prove the strong duality theorem for continuous-time linear programming problems in which the coefficients are assumed to be piecewise continuous functions. The previous paper proved the strong duality theorem for the…
Under the assumption of infinitely many Siegel zeroes $s$ with $Re(s)>1-\frac{1}{(\log q)^{R}}$ for a sufficiently large value of $R$, we prove that there exist infinitely many $m$-tuples of primes that are $\ll e^{1.9828m}$ apart. This…
Using polynomial evaluation, we give some useful criteria to answer questions about divisibility of polynomials. This allows us to develop interesting results concerning the prime elements in the domain of coefficients. In particular, it is…
We develop a theory of formal multivariate polynomials over commutative rings by treating them as ring terms. Our main result is that two ring terms are s-equivalent (when expanded they yield the same standard polynomial) iff they are…
We consider the representation of primes as a sum of a prime and twice a triangular number. We prove that a subset of the primes having density 1 is expressible in this form. We conjecture that every odd prime number is expressible as a sum…
Let $f(x) = \sum\limits _{i=0}^{n} a_i x^i $ be a polynomial with coefficients from the ring $\mathbb{Z}$ of integers satisfying either $(i)$ $0 < a_0 \leq a_{1} \leq \cdots \leq a_{k-1} < a_{k} < a_{k+1} \leq \cdots \leq a_n$ for some $k$,…
The Schinzel Hypothesis is a conjecture about irreducible polynomials in one variable over the integers: under some standard condition, they should assume infinitely many prime values at integers. We consider a relative version: if the…
An identity for binomial symbols modulo an odd positive integer $n$ relating to the least prime factor of $n$ is proved. The identity is discussed within the context of Pell conics.
Sieves are constructed for twin primes in class I, which are of the form 2m+/-D, D>=3 odd. They are characterized by their twin-D-I rank m. They have no parity problem. Non-rank numbers are identified and counted using odd primes p>=5.…
The change of variable theorem is proved under the sole hypothesis of differentiability of the transformation. Specifically, it is shown under this hypothesis that the transformed integral equals the given one over every measurable subset…
The multinomial model is one of the simplest statistical models. When constraints are placed on the possible values for the probabilities, however, it becomes much more difficult to deal with. Model checking and checking for prior-data…
We first prove that if $a$ has a prime factor not dividing $b$ then there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that $\binom {an+bn} {an}$ is not divisible by $bn+1$. This confirms a recent conjecture of Z.-W. Sun. Moreover, we…
A pair of odd primes is said to be symmetric if each prime is congruent to one modulo their difference. A theorem from 1996 by Fletcher, Lindgren, and the third author provides an upper bound on the number of primes up to x that belong to a…
In this paper we generalize the result of Fouvry and Iwaniec dealing with prime values of the quadratic form $x^2 + y^2$ with one input restricted to a thin subset of the integers. We prove the same result with an arbitrary primitive…
The distribution of prime constellations, such as Twin Primes ($p, p+2$), is traditionally analyzed via probabilistic models or analytic sieve theory. While heuristic predictions are accurate, rigorous proofs are obstructed by the "Parity…
Generalized Cullen Numbers are positive integers of the form $C_b(n):=nb^n+1$. In this work we generalize some known divisibility properties of Cullen Numbers and present two primality tests for this family of integers. The first test is…
The pentagonal number theorem is extended to the sequence of the number of integer partitions with all parts equal. The new pentagonal number theorem implies that the distribution of the primes is just a specific detail of the application…
We propose a divisibility test for all integers which have 1, 3, 7 or 9 in their unit's place. In particular, then, the test applies for all prime divisors except 2 and 5.
