Probabilistic and Deterministic Approaches to Some Problems of Number Theory

Authors: Gregory M. Sobko
Comments: 89 Pages.

I suggest a probabilistic approach that helps to address some classical questions and problems of Number Theory, like the Goldbach Conjecture [1], distributions of twin- and d-primes, prime numbers among arithmetic sequences and others. The concepts of ‘randomness’ and ‘independence’ relevant to number-theoretic problems are discussed here, and the basic concepts of divisibility of natural number are interpreted in terms of probability spaces and appropriate probability distributions on classes of congruence. I analyze and demonstrate the importance of Zeta probability distribution and prove theorems stating the equivalence of probabilistic independence of divisibility of random integers by coprime factors, and the fact that random variables with the property of independence of coprime factors must have Zeta probability distribution. The idea to use Zeta distribution is motivated by the fact that it provides the validity of the probabilistic Cramér’s model for asymptotic prime number distribution, in full agreement with the Prime Number Theorem. Multiplicative and additive models with recurrent equations for generating sequences of prime numbers are derived based on the reduced Sieve of Eratosthenes Algorithm. This allows to interpret such sequences as realizations of random walks on set of natural numbers and on multiplicative semigroups generated by sets of all prime numbers, representing paths of stochastic dynamical systems. The H. Cramér’s model for probability distribution of primes is modified as a generalized predictable non-stationary Bernoulli process with unequally distributed terms that are asymptotically pairwise independent. This model is applied to analyze the sequences of primes generated by appropriate random walks. With intense use of Zeta probability distribution, it seems possible by using the modified Cramér’s model to approximate probability distribution of various arithmetic function. Since probabilistic approach meets certain skepticism and even disbelief from a part of mathematicians working in traditional manner in Number Theory, I decided to attack the problem of Strong Goldbach Conjecture (SGC) from pure deterministic point of view. As a result, I derived a recursive formula which generates a sequence {G(m)} of consecutive nonempty Goldbach sets. Each Goldbach set G(m) is asset of all prime numbers solving equation p + p’ = 2m for any natural number m > 2. The recursive formula justifies SGC by mathematical induction. Thus, this work represents two independent proofs of validity for Strong Goldbach Conjecture.

Number of Stable Digits of Any Integer Tetration

Authors: Marco Ripà, Luca Onnis
Comments: 7 Pages.

In the present paper we provide a general formula which let us easily calculate the number of stable digits of any integer tetration base a∈ℕU{0}. The number of stable digits, at the given height of the power tower, indicates how many of the last digits of the (generic) tetration are frozen. Our formula is exact for any tetration base which is not coprime to 10, although a maximum gap equal to V(a) + 1 digits (where V(a) indicates the congruence speed of a) can occur, in the worst-case scenario, between the given upper and lower bound.

Authors: Theophilus Agama
Comments: 5 Pages. The results have now been made unconditional based on referee report

In this paper we introduce and develop the method of diagonalization of functions $f:\mathbb{N}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$. We apply this method to a class of problems requiring to determine if the equations of the form $f(n)+k=m^2$ has a finite number of solutions $n\in \mathbb{N}$ for a fixed $k\in \mathbb{N}$.

Singly and Doubly Even Multiples of 6 and Statistical Biases in the Distribution of Primes

Authors: Waldemar Puszkarz
Comments: 8 pages, extends work originally posted on viXra: https://vixra.org/abs/1804.0416.

Computer experiments show that singly even multiples of 6 sur-rounded by prime pairs exhibit a larger ratio of nonsquarefree to squarefree multiples than generic singly even multiples of 6, a bias of ca 10.6% measured against the expected value. The same bias occurs for isolated primes next to singly even multiples of 6; here the deviation from the expected value is ca 3.3% of this value. The expected value of the ratio of singly even to doubly even nonsquarefree multiples of 6 also differs from values found experimentally for prime pairs centered on such multiples or isolated primes next to them. For pairs, this ratio exceeds its unbiased value by ca 6.2%, for isolated primes by ca 2.0%. The values cited are for the first 10^10 primes, the largest range we investigated. This paper broadens our recent study of a newly found bias in the distribution of primes by examining singly and doubly even multiples of 6. In particular, it shows that for primes centered on or next to singly even multiples of 6, the statistical biases in question are more pronounced than in the general case studied by us before.

Riemann’s Last Theorem

Authors: Aric B. Canaanie
Comments: 10 Pages.

The central idea of this article is to introduce and prove a special form of the zeta function as proof of Riemann’s last theorem. The newly proposed zeta function contains two sub functions, namely f1(b,s) and f2(b,s) . The unique property of zeta(s)=f1(b,s)-f2(b,s) is that as tends toward infinity the equality zeta(s)=zeta(1-s) is transformed into an exponential expression for the zeros of the zeta function. At the limiting point, we simply deduce that the exponential equality is satisfied if and only if real(s)=1/2 . Consequently, we conclude that the zeta function cannot be zero if real(s)=1/2 , hence proving Riemann’s last theorem.

Multiplication Tensor and Number of Rational Numbers

Authors: Marko V. Jankovic
Comments: 7 Pages.

In this paper, it is going to be explained how all natural numbers can be presented as a multiplication tensor or Mtensor. This comes as an extension of the number line (that is graphical presentation of the numbers that is suitable for graphical presentation of addition/subtraction) and facilitates reasoning related to sieves, multiplication, prime and composite numbers and so on. Here, the new representation will be used to calculate number of rational numbers.

The Uncertainty of the Statistical Data

Authors: Andrea Berdondini
Comments: 6 Pages.

Any result can be generated randomly and any random result is useless. Traditional methods define uncertainty as a measure of the dispersion around the true value and are based on the hypothesis that any divergence from uniformity is the result of a deterministic event. The problem with this approach is that even non-uniform distributions can be generated randomly and the probability of this event rises as the number of hypotheses tested increases. Consequently, there is a risk of considering a random and therefore nonrepeatable hypothesis as deterministic. Indeed, it is believed that this way of acting is the cause of the high number of non-reproducible results. Therefore, we believe that the probability of obtaining an equal or better result randomly is the true uncertainty of the statistical data. Because it represents the probability that the data is useful and therefore the validity of any other analysis depends on this parameter.

The Binary Goldbach Conjecture Via the Notion of Signature

Authors: Theophilus Agama
Comments: 4 Pages.

In this paper we prove the binary Goldbach conjecture. By exploiting the language of circles of partition, we show that for all sufficiently large $n\in 2\mathbb{N}$ \begin{align} \# \left \{p+q=n|~p,q\in \mathbb{P}\right \}>0.\nonumber \end{align}This proves that every sufficiently large even number can be written as the sum of two prime numbers.

A New Relation Between Lerch's $\Phi$ and the Hurwitz Zeta

Authors: Jose Risomar Sousa
Comments: 6 Pages.

A new relation between the Lerch's transcendent, $\Phi$, and the Hurwitz zeta, $\zeta(k,b)$, at the positive integers is introduced. It is derived simply by inverting the relation presented in the precursor paper with one of two approaches (its generating function or the binomial theorem). This enables one to go from Lerch as a function of Hurwitz zetas (of different orders), to Hurwitz as a function of Lerches. A special case of this new functional equation is a relation between the Riemann's zeta function and the polylogarithm.

The Solution of the Collatz Conjecture in the Tartaglia Triangle

Authors: Giovanni Di Savino
Comments: 2 Pages. [Corrections made by viXra Admin to conform with the requirements on the Submission Form]

With the Collatz algorithm it is not possible to process all natural numbers because we do not know: quantities and values ​​of even and odd numbers and all their factors. From Tartaglia's triangle we can detect odd numbers which are the sum of the results of the infinite powers of 2 which have an even index and which are also equal to the previous odd * 4 + 1. These are all the odd numbers that * 3 + 1 generate an even number that is the result of a base power 2 and even index 2 ^ (2 * n≥1) and that, the nth half, ends at 1 because ½ of 2 ^ 1 = 2 ^ 0 = 1.
