The algorithm mechanically yields a sequence of sets, which converges to the set of all primes p such that 2p + 1 divides the Mersenne number Mp. The cardinal sequence corresponding to the sequence of sets is strictly increasing. So that we have captured enough usable structures, without any estimation, the existing theories of those structures allow us to prove an exact result: there are infinitely many Mersenne composite numbers with prime exponents Mp.展开更多

This study establishes the Periodic Table of Primes (PTP) using four prime numbers 2, 3, 5, and 7. We identify 48 integers out of a period 2×3×5×7=210 to be the roots of all primes as well as composites without factors of 2, 3, 5, and 7. Each prime, twin primes, or composite without factors of 2, 3, 5, and 7 is an offspring of the 48 integers uniquely allocated on the PTP. Three major establishments made in the article are the Formula of Primes, the Periodic Table of Primes, and the Counting Functions of Primes and Twin Primes.展开更多

Proving the twin prime conjecture using traditional modern number theory is extremely profound and complex. We propose an elementary research method for corresponding prime number, proved that the conjecture of twin prime numbers and obtain the corresponding prime distribution equation. According to the distribution rate of corresponding prime numbers, the distribution pattern of twin prime numbers was proved the distribution rate theorem. This is the distribution rate of prime numbers corresponding to composite numbers, which approaches the distribution rate of prime numbers corresponding to integers. Based on the corresponding prime distribution equation, obtain the twin prime inequality function. Then, the formula for calculating twin prime numbers was discussed. There is also the Hardy Littlewood conjecture. This provides a practical and feasible approach for studying the distribution of twin prime numbers.展开更多

Such a lack of regularity makes primes elusive. Many NP-hard problems are related to the irregular occurrence of primes in natural numbers. Methods: To extract the underlying regularity of prime distribution, author started from the complementary relationship between composites and primes, through the regular occurrence of composites to infer the regularity underlying primes. Results: Previously random-appearing occurrence of primes resulted from the regular periodic decimations of various frequencies and cycles set by primes. Conclusions: Primes are the survivors of natural numbers after periodic decimations caused by primes. This leads to a novel concise representation of the set of all primes using sine function, suggestive of periodicity for both primes and composites.展开更多

There are none. Surprisingly, there are infinitely many solutions if the problem is recast in terms of modular arithmetic. Over a hundred years ago Issai Schur was able to show that for any n there is always a sufficiently large prime p0such that for all primes p≥p0the congruence xn+yn≡zn(modp)has a non-trivial solution. Schur’s argument wasnon-constructive, and there is no systematic method available at present to construct specific examples for small primes. We offer a simple method for constructing all possible solutions to a large class of congruences of this type.展开更多
