Let $\mathcal{P}_r$ denote an almost-prime with at most $r$ prime factors, counted according to multiplicity. In this paper, it is proved that for every sufficiently large even integer $N$, the equation \begin{equation*}…
In this short paper we present an elementary proof of the infinitude of primes. Our proof is similar in spirit to Euler's proof that the reciprocals of primes diverges and only uses tools from elementary number theory and calculus. In…
According to Goldbach conjecture, any even number can be broken up as the sum of two prime numbers : $n = p + q$. We construct a network where each node is a prime number and corresponding to every even number $n$, we put a link between the…
Let \sigma(n) be the sum of divisors of a positive integer n. Robin's theorem states that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the inequality \sigma(n)<e^\gamma n\log\log n for all n>5040 (\gamma is Euler's constant). It is a natural…
We prove that if A is a subset of the primes, and the lower density of A in the primes is larger than 1/2, then every sufficiently large even integer can be written as the sum of eight primes from A. The constant 1/2 in this statement is…
A pair of numbers is amicable if each number equals the sum of the proper divisors of the other. This paper after exploring the history and evolution of amicable numbers, introduces a novel characterization of amicable pairs whose greatest…
This is an English translation from the Latin original of Leonhard Euler's ``Solutio facilior problematis Diophantei circa triangulum, in quo rectae ex angulis latera opposita bisecantes rationaliter exprimantur''. In this paper, Euler…
We give a short proof of the fact that every set of natural numbers with positive upper Banach density contains the sum of two infinite sets. The approach simplifies earlier existing proofs.
We give a more comrehensive treatment of Chen's double sieve and improve related constants in Goldbach's conjecture and the twin prime problem.
Hardy and Littlewood conjectured that every sufficiently large integer is either a square or the sum of a prime and a square. Let $E(x)$ be the number of positive integers up to $x\ge4$ which does not satisfy this condition. We prove…
Ellenberg proved that the abc conjecture would follow if this conjecture were known for sums $a+b=c$ such that $D\mid abc$ for some integer~$D$. Mochizuki proved a theorem with an opposite restriction, that the full abc conjecture would…
This paper makes the following conjecture: For every prime $p$ there exists a positive integer $x$ with $\left\lceil \frac{p}{4} \right\rceil \leq x \leq \left\lceil \frac{p}{2} \right\rceil$ and a positive divisor $d|x^2$ so that either:…
Lately, Werner Schulte has conjectured that for all positive $n>1$, $n$ divides $\frac{(n-2)! (n-1)!}{2^{n-3}} + 4$ if and only if $n$ is prime. In this paper, We use elementary methods, to give a simple proof of this conjecture.
We show that for any irrational $\alpha$ and any $\tau<8/23$ there are infinitely many $n$ which are the product of two primes for which $$\|n\alpha\|\leq n^{-\tau}.$$ We also show that for all sufficiently large $b$ there exist 3-digit…
The Legendre conjecture has resisted analysis over a century, even under assumption of the Riemann Hypothesis. We present, a significant improvement on previous results by greatly reducing the assumption to a more modest statement called…
We observe that the classical Faulhaber's theorem on sums of odd powers also holds for an arbitrary arithmetic progression, namely, the odd power sums of any arithmetic progression $a+b, a+2b, ..., a+nb$ is a polynomial in $na+n(n+1)b/2$.…
In this paper we introduce a simple method of searching for the prime pairs in the famous Goldbach Conjecture. The method, which is based on certain integer identities as well as an observation related to the remainder property, enables us…
It is a classic result of Selberg in the 1950's that $\theta_2 = 2/3$, where $\theta_2$ is the level of distribution of the divisor function in arithmetic progressions (defined more precisely below). Selberg applies this estimate, together…
A recent heuristic argument based on basic concepts in spectral analysis showed that the twin prime conjecture and a few other related primes counting problems are valid. A rigorous version of the spectral method, and a proof of the more…
In a previous paper, the authors proved that in any system of three linear forms satisfying obvious necessary local conditions, there are at least two forms that infinitely often assume $E_2$-values; i.e., values that are products of…
