The Proof of the Riemann Conjecture

Authors: Liao Teng
Comments: 34 Pages.

In order to strictly prove the hypothesis and conjectures in Riemann's 1859 paper on the Number of Prime Numbers Not greater than x from a pure mathematical point of view, and in order to strictly prove the Generalized hypothesis and the Generalized conjectures, this paper uses Euler's formula to study the relationship between symmetric and conjugated zeros of Riemann's ζ(s) function and Riemann's ξ(s) function, and proves that Riemann's hypothesis and Riemann's conjecture are completely correct.

Power-spectral Numbers

Authors: Walter A. Kehowski
Comments: 61 Pages.

Given $n=p_1^{e_1}cdots p_k^{e_k}$, there is a canonical isomorphism $mathbb{Z}_ncongmathbb{Z}_{p_1^{e_1}} oplus cdots oplus mathbb{Z}_{p_k^{e_k}}$. The spectral basis of $mathbb{Z}_n$ is an explicit realization of this isomorphism within $mathbb{Z}_n$ itself. This paper is a study of those numbers whose spectral basis consists of primes and powers. For example, if $M_p$ is a Mersenne prime with exponent $p$, then $2M_p$ has spectral basis ${M_p,2^{p}}$, while $2^pM_p$ has spectral basis ${M_p^2,2^{p}}$. Isospectral and isotropic numbers are introduced and many other numbers with interesting spectral bases are presented.

Proof of the Collatz Conjecture Based on Directed Graph

Authors: Wiroj Homsup, Nathawut Homsup
Comments: 6 Pages.

The Collatz conjecture considers recursively sequences of positive integers where n is succeeded by n/2 , if n is even or (3n+1)/2 , if n is odd. The conjecture states that for all starting values n the sequence eventually reaches a trivial cycle 1, 2, 1, 2u2026u2026.The Collatz sequences can be represented as a directed graph. If the Collatz conjecture is false, then either there is a nontrivial cycle, or one sequence goes to infinity. In this paper, we construct a Collatz directed graph by connecting infinite number of basic directed graphs. Each basic directed graph relates to each natural number. We prove that the Collatz directed graph covers all positive integers and there is only a trivial cycle and no sequence goes to infinity.

Complete Proof of the Collatz Conjecture

Authors: Ugur Pervane
Comments: 5 Pages.

The Collatz conjecture has remained unsolved for a long time. In this paper, a proof of this conjecture will be provided. We know that almost all numbers will reach one by following the steps of the Collatz algorithm. Terence Tao has previously proven this. This paper uses Tao's proof to demonstrate that all numbers will eventually reach one. If almost all numbers reach the number one, then the probability that a randomly selected number from an infinite set will reach one is one. Conversely, the probability of not reaching one is zero. The probability of selecting elements of a sequence associated with a number n that violates the conjecture from an infinite set is a non-zero number, such as c, but this contradicts the proof that almost all numbers will reach one. Therefore, there is no such number n that violates the conjecture, and the conjecture holds true for all numbers. To prove that the probability of selecting elements of a sequence associated with a number n that violates the conjecture from an infinite set is a non-zero number, such as c, we look at the sequences associated with the number one. If the probability of selecting elements of each sub-branch of these sequences from an infinite set is a non-zero number, then we reach the proof we are looking for.

Symmetries in Goldbach's Conjecture

Authors: Timothy Jones
Comments: 7 Pages.

We define a Goldbach table as a table consisting of two rows. The lower row counts from 0 to any n and and the top row counts down from 2n to n. All columns will have all numbers that add to 2n. Using a sieve, all composites are crossed out and only columns with primes are left. We then define a novel prime decimal system: it gives for every n remainders when n is divided by all primes less than the n. This suggests linear functions, the divisions used can give another perspective on all the column pairs. The inverses of these functions when put into tabular form give symmetries that suggest Goldbach's conjecture is correct.

The Magic Squares of Khajuraho, Durer and the Golden Proportion

Authors: Andrey V. Voron
Comments: 4 Pages.

Based on the theoretical analysis of 4×4 pandiagonal squares, their "structure" features are shown: the invariants of the structure of 4×4 pandiagonal squares are pairs of numbers equal in sum to one of the two Fibonacci numbers — 13 or 21. It is revealed that any variant of the set of six digits of the Durer square and similar 4×4 pandiagonal squares, forming a continuous symmetric configuration, is equal in total to the integer 51. A geometric figure "cube in a cube" is constructed, which has the properties of the "golden symmetry" of 4×4 pandiagonal squares. All the numbers of the diagonals of the cube have the properties of "golden symmetry" (two numbers form in one case the total number 13, in the other — 21), and all planes having 4 angles (numbers) both the inner and outer squares of the geometric figure form a total of the Fibonacci number — 34.

Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis Using the Decomposition ζ(z)= X(z) — Y(z) and Analysis of the Distribution of the Zeros of ζ(z) Based on X(z) and Y(z)

Authors: Pedro Caceres
Comments: 45 Pages.

Prime numbers are the atoms of mathematics and mathematics is needed to make sense of the real world. Finding the Prime number structure and eventually being able to crack their code is the ultimate goal in what is called Number Theory. From the evolution of species to cryptography, Nature finds help in Prime numbers. One of the most important advances in the study of Prime numbers was the paper by Bernhard Riemann in November 1859 called "Ueber die Anzahl der Primzahlen unter einer gegebenen Grösse" (On the number of primes less than a given quantity).In that paper, Riemann gave a formula for the number of primes less than x in terms the integral of 1/log(x) and the roots (zeros) of the zeta function defined by:[RZF] ζ(z)=∑(n=1,∞) 1/n^z Where ζ(z) is a function of a complex variable z that analytically continues the Dirichlet series. Riemann also formulated a conjecture about the location of the zeros of RZF, which fall into two classes: the "trivial zeros" -2, -4, -6, etc., and those whose real part lies between 0 and 1. Riemann's conjecture Riemann hypothesis [RH] was formulated as this:[RH]The real part of every nontrivial zero z* of the RZF is 1/2.Proving the RH is, as of today, one of the most important problems in mathematics. In this paper we will provide proof of the RH. The proof of the RH will be built following these five parts:PART 1:Description of the Riemann Zeta Function RZF ζ(z) - Introducing s limit and an approximationPART 2: The C-transformation. An artifact to decompose ζ(z) PART 3: Application of the C-transformation to f(z)=1/x^z in Re(z)≥0 to obtain ζ(z)=X(z)-Y(z) - Decomposition of ζ(z)=X(z)-Y(z) - Analysis of X(z),|X(z)|,|X(z)|^2 - Analysis of Y(z),|Y(z)|,|Y(z)|^2PART 4: Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis - Analysis of the values of z such that X(z)=Y(z), that equates to ζ(z)=0 - Proof that |X(z)|=|Y(z)| only if Re(z)=1/2 - Conclude that ζ(z)=0 only if Re(z)=1/2 for Re(z)≥0PART 5: On the distribution of the non-trivial zeros of Zeta in the critical line α= 1/2. - Algorithm N1, Algorithm H1, Algorithm H2

A Geometric Approach to the Riemann Hypothesis: Analyzing Non-Trivial Zeros in Polar Coordinates

Authors: Bryce Petofi Towne
Comments: 31 Pages.

The Riemann Hypothesis asserts that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line ( Re(s) = frac{1}{2} ) in the complex plane. This paper explores an alternative geometric approach by analyzing the zeta function and its non-trivial zeros in polar coordinates. Transforming the problem into this framework reveals a natural symmetry about the polar axis, which corresponds to the critical line in Cartesian coordinates.We demonstrate that the (Xi(s)) function, a redefined version of the zeta function, retains the symmetry ( Xi(s) = Xi(1 - s) ) in polar coordinates, supporting the hypothesis that non-trivial zeros must lie on the critical line.This geometric perspective suggests a potential simplification in verifying the Riemann Hypothesis and offers new insights into the distribution of non-trivial zeros.

An Advanced Quantum-Resistant Algorithm: Design, Implementation, and Analysis

Authors: Daniil Krizhanovskyi
Comments: 9 Pages.

The advent of quantum computing represents a paradigm shift with profound implications for the field of cryptography. Quantum algorithms, particularly Shor's algorithm, threaten to undermine the security foundations of traditional cryptographic schemes such as RSA, ECC, and DSA, which rely on the computational difficulty of integer factorization and discrete logarithms. As these algorithms become obsolete in the face of quantum capabilities, there is an urgent need for cryptographic systems that can withstand quantum-based attacks. In response to this looming threat, this paper introduces the Quantum Cryptographic Toolkit (QCT), a robust and versatile framework designed to facilitate the development, testing, and deployment of quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms. The QCT integrates a diverse set of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, including lattice-based methods like NewHope, code-based approaches exemplified by the McEliece cryptosystem, and isogeny-based cryptography, such as SIKE. Each of these algorithms is implemented with a focus on maintaining security even in the face of quantum computing advancements, addressing both theoretical and practical challenges. The toolkit is structured to be modular and extensible, allowing researchers and developers to seamlessly incorporate additional algorithms and cryptographic primitives as the field evolves. This paper details the design principles underlying the QCT, emphasizing the importance of modularity, extensibility, and performance optimization. We discuss the implementation strategies employed to ensure the toolkit's effectiveness across a range of cryptographic scenarios, from key exchange protocols to encryption and digital signatures. A comprehensive security analysis is provided, highlighting the resistance of each algorithm to quantum attacks, and comparing their performance to other post-quantum cryptographic solutions. In addition to the security analysis, we include extensive performance benchmarks that evaluate the computational efficiency, memory usage, and scalability of the algorithms within the QCT. These benchmarks demonstrate the practical viability of the toolkit for real-world applications, offering insights into the trade-offs between security and performance that are inherent in post-quantum cryptography. The results indicate that the QCT not only meets the stringent security requirements

Sieving Primes from Composite Pairs Within Sets of 6n±1 Numbers

Authors: Adrian M. Stokes
Comments: 5 Pages.

The prime numbers ≥ 5 within a finite sequence of natural numbers can be found by calculating all of the values given by 6n±1 that fall within the sequence and subtracting the composites given by (6n_1±1)(6n_2±1), where n is a natural number. A test model for finding primes based on this method uses three reference sub-set multiplication tables to calculate composites and then matches these to the corresponding values in the sets {6n-1} and {6n+1}. The unmatched numbers are primes. Although this model provides a useful proof of concept, it is impractical at scale. A new method that replaces the sub-set tables with an equation to calculate 6n±1 composite pairs forms the basis of an improved model using sieve methodology.

A Simple Probabilistic Heuristic Supporting the Collatz Conjecture

Authors: Shreyansh Jaiswal
Comments: 11 Pages.

The Collatz Conjecture, also known as the 3x+1 problem, posits that for any positive integer n, the sequence defined by the Collatz functionwill eventually reach the number 1. This conjecture has been extensively tested for a vast range of values, consistently supporting its validity. Inthis paper, we explore a probabilistic perspective to provide additional support for the conjecture. We focus on the probability that the Collatzsequence T(n), for any starting value n, reaches a power of 2—an essential step in the sequence’s progression toward 1. Our approach suggeststhat as n tends to infinity, the likelihood of the Collatz conjecture being satisfied becomes very high. This probabilistic argument aligns withthe extensive empirical evidence supporting the conjecture and offers a novel perspective on its validity. While not a formal proof, our findingscontribute to the broader understanding of the Collatz Conjecture and reinforce the conjecture’s plausibility through probabilistic reasoning.

Geometric Symmetry of Non-Trivial Zeros of the Riemann Zeta Function in Polar Coordinates

Authors: Bryce Petofi Towne
Comments: 14 Pages.

This paper investigates the symmetry of non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function (zeta(s)) through geometric analysis in polar coordinates. By transforming the complex number (s = sigma + it) into polar form, we demonstrate that the symmetry about the critical line (sigma = frac{1}{2}) necessitates (sigma = frac{1}{2}) for all non-trivial zeros. Numerical simulations further confirm the accuracy and consistency of this geometric approach. And we introduce a formula for the distribution pattern of all non-trivial zeros:[zetaleft(sqrt{frac{1}{4} + t^2} , e^{i arctan(2t)}ight) = 0]where: [r = sqrt{frac{1}{4} + t^2} quad text{and} quad theta = arctan(2t)]

A Direct Proof that Goldbach's Conjecture is True

Authors: Timothy Jones
Comments: 4 Pages.

We introduce a Goldbach table. It consists of two rows. A bottom row counts from zero to a given n and the top counts from the right from n to 2n. The columns generated give all the whole numbers that add to 2n. We confirm that using a sieve, we do always seem to get top and bottom primes that show Goldbach's conjecture is true for the particular 2n depicted by this table. Next we cumulatively depict these tables and we see some interesting patterns. We can infer that all prime pairs will occur in one of these tables. We also see diagonal prime lines that seem to start and stop in symmetrical ways. These patterns suggest that for any even number we can choose a column and then find a prime pair.

A Novel Framework for Improving the Prime Number Theorem Regarding Estimating the Nth Prime Number

Authors: Shreyansh Jaiswal
Comments: 20 Pages. Distributed under CC BY-SA 4.0

The Prime Number Theorem (PNT) offers a foundational approximation for the distribution of prime numbers and aids in estimating the nth prime number p(n) through p(n) ∼ n log n. This paper proposes enhancements to this approximation by introducing a correction factor C(k), refining the estimate to p(n) ≈ C(k)·n·log n. The derivation of C(k) is explored, alongside its asymptotic behavior and empiricalanalysis. A generalized formula for p(n) is also derived, eliminating variables other than n and e (Euler’s number). Empirical comparisons with traditional methods demonstrate the accuracy and computational efficiency of these new approaches. Ideal conditions for optimal performance of C(k) are examined.Graphical representations and statistical analyses support the validity of the proposed refinements. The paper concludes with a discussion on the implications of these findings and potential areas for future research.

An Original Method to Find Probable Prime Numbers

Authors: David Hill, Silvio Gabbianelli
Comments: 36 Pages. Distributed under Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 License

This paper presents an original method devised by David Hill for identifying probable prime numbers through a series of systematic steps involving division and rounding. The method begins with selecting any natural number, repeatedly dividing it by 2 until the result ends in a decimal of .5. Based on the parity of the original number, the resulting decimal is then rounded to the nearest even or odd number. This rounded number is either added to or subtracted from the original input number, often resulting in a prime number. While the method does not guarantee a prime in every case, it demonstrates a high success rate, particularly within the range of 2 to 100. An exception is made for generating the prime number 2 from the input number 1. To validate this method, two Python programs were utilized. One program tested integer numbers within a given range one by one, and the other produced a list of probable prime numbers found. Analysis of the results revealed that the method consistently found a higher number of primes than initially estimated. For example, starting in the range of 2 to 100 integers, the method found 34 primes compared to the estimated 25. This pattern held true across larger ranges, with the method finding up to 46.06% more primes out of the estimated in the range of 2 to 10,000,000.Additionally, the method identified the greatest prime numbers that extended significantly beyond the initial range limits. The trend line for the percentage increase in found primes suggested that the method becomes increasingly effective at identifying additional primes as the range expands. These findings suggest that the method has the potential to uncover a greater number of prime numbers than traditional estimation methods predict, providing a new approach to prime number discovery. This could indicate a deeper connection between composite numbers and primes through systematic division and balancing of odds and evens. Further research is needed to determine the method's effectiveness across larger and more varied ranges, but the initial results are promising.[Note: Silvio Gabbianelli created Python programs to test the method. This paper, written by him for me to present. The tests, conducted up to 10,000,000, yielded promising results.]

On the L-Functions from Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture, and the Prime Numbers from Polignac's and Twin Prime Conjectures

Dirichlet eta function (proxy function for Riemann zeta function as generating function for all nontrivial zeros) and Sieve of Eratosthenes (generating algorithm for all prime numbers) are essentially infinite series. We apply infinitesimals to their outputs and analyze L-functions of elliptic curves for Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. Riemann hypothesis asserts the complete set of all nontrivial zeros from Riemann zeta function is located on its critical line. It is proven to be true when usefully regarded as an Incompletely Predictable Problem. We ignore even prime number 2. The complete set with derived subsets of Odd Primes contain arbitrarily large number of elements and satisfy Prime number theorem for Arithmetic Progressions, Generic Squeeze theorem and Theorem of Divergent-to-Convergent series conversion for Prime numbers. Having these theorems satisfied by all Odd Primes, Polignac's and Twin prime conjectures are separately proven to be true when usefully regarded as Incompletely Predictable Problems.

Estimating the Number of Primes Within a Limited Boundary

Authors: Junho Eom
Comments: 21 pages, 2 figures, 2 tables, 3 appendices

Within n^2, n boundaries were generated from the 1st to the nth, each containing n numbers. Primes less than n^2/2 were multiplied, intersected, and formed composites. At least one prime less than n or in the 1st boundary was used as a factor for the composites between n and n^2, or 2nd and nth boundaries, limiting the number of composites to (2n^2)/λ, where λ represented the wavelength of primes in the 1st boundary. Under these conditions, passively remaining numbers that were not connected to the wave of primes in the 1st boundary were all new primes between the 2nd and nth boundaries. Considering the cause-and-effect relationship among the primes less than n and the composites and new primes between 2nd and nth boundaries, the characteristics of composites could represent the characteristics of primes, and both were defined within a limited n^2 boundary. In this paper, these boundary characteristics were utilized to obtain the average number count per boundary, which led to obtaining the average number of primes per boundary. The average number of primes was multiplied by n boundaries with a coefficient of either β1 or β_√2, denoting the ratio of the number of primes. Using either β1 or β_√2, the number of primes was estimated between 10^6 and 10^28 and compared to the actual number of primes. Considering the relative error between β1 (Average 1.42%: maximum 2.92%, minimum 0.16%) or β_√2 (Ave. 0.37%: max. 0.96, min. 0.04%), it was concluded that the number of primes could be estimated with β_√2, allowing for a relative average error of 0.37%, in an equation of π(n^2)=π(n)∙n/β_√2, where 10^3 ≤ n ≤ 10^14, π(n) was the known number of primes within n, and β_√2 = ln(2√2∙n)/ln(n)+1.

In this paper, we had given a proof of the Collatz conjecture in elementary algebra. Since any given positive integer is conjectured to return to odd 1 in operations, we analyze continuous inverse operations starting with odd 1, it had proved that all of the inverse path numbers of a given non-triple is obtainable and any inverse operation path tends to infinity, we can get any odd and even, to do continuous forward operations for a positive integer obtained it will return to the odd 1 along the inverse operation paths.

[attempted] Proof for Goldbach’s Conjecture Verification with Mathematical Induction Formula

Authors: Budee U. Zaman
Comments: 13 Pages.

This document forwards a freshly unearthed test of the Goldbach Conjecture, a longstanding enigma in the theory of numbers put forth byChristian Goldbach in 1742. In our point of view, we have been able to come up with a simple and yet stunning explanation on how numberswhich are divisible by 2 could be permanently expressed as the sum of two prime numbers. Through an extensive analysis, it will be seen that every other two numbers above 2 can always be expressed in that manner. Our evidence is based on fundamental theories of numbers and original methods that solve the problem without any difficulty. Consequently, understandingis not difficult at all. The pathway for further research in number theory has just been brought to light while at the same time indicatinghow vital determination and a variation of outlook are for any endeavour.

Pascal Triangle: a Combinatorial Approach to Power Sums

Authors: Yasser A. Chavez
Comments: 15 Pages.

We explore three combinatorial sequences derived from Pascal’s triangle: Binomial Coefficients, the Narayana Numbers and a variant of the Binomial Coefficients. The goal is to express particular cases of the sum of powers of the first n natural numbers using combinatorial sequences. 1^p + 2^p + 3^p + 4^p + ... + n^p, where p , n ∈ ℕ The methodology we employ is based on the differences between terms. We multiply each term by n to equal the next exponent and then add each term. Finally, we identify patterns in the sequences at the intermediate or final stage.

The Strict Proof That the Riemann Zeta Function Equation Has No Non-Trivial Zeros

Authors: Xiaochun Mei
Comments: 13 Pages.

A standard method is proposed to prove strictly that the Riemann Zeta function equation has no non-trivial zeros. The real part and imaginary part of the Riemann Zeta function equation are separated completely. By comparing the real part and the imaginary part of Zeta function equation individually, a set of equation is obtained. It is proved that this equation set only has the solutions of trivial zeros. So the Riemann Zeta function equation has no non-trivial zeros. The Riemann hypothesis does not hold.

Analysis and Improvement of Twin Prime Density Estimation

Authors: Bruce R. Nye
Comments: 3 Pages.

The ’twin prime conjecture’ was first proposed over 100 years ago. The work of Hardy and Littlewood still remains the dominant authority with respect to identifying twin prime density. The Hardy-Littlewood conjec- ture is paired with a counting function alongside the twin prime constant (0.660016). This process estimates twin prime count to ’x’, as the error is infinitely sieved to zero. The proposed limit represents a nuanced more precise approach to estimating the number of twin primes up to n, making this formula a technical improvement over the Hardy-Littlewood formula. By incorporating additional logarithmic terms and scaling factors, this for- mula refines the asymptotic estimate, offering deeper accuracy and deeper insights into the distribution of twin primes. This refinement is significant for both theoretical studies and practical applications in number theory, as it provides a more detailed and more accurate framework.

Conditions for Convergence of the Sequence 1/(��^��|sin��|^��)

Authors: Yudai Sakuma
Comments: 4 Pages.

It is known that if the sequence 1/(��^��|sin��|^��) converges then ��(��)≤1+��/�� , but the convergence of this sequence has not been solved. In this study, the conditions for convergence of 1/(��^��|sin��|^��) were clarified by focusing on �� such that the value of |sin��| becomes explosively small. As a result, it was confirmed that ��(��)<1+��/�� is a sufficient condition for convergence of 1/(��^��|sin��|^��) . This is the same result as in the previous study, but because the method of proof is different, we succeeded in identifying a range of values for lim��→∞1/(��^��|sin��|^��) when ��(��)=1+��/�� .

A New Understanding on the Problem That the Quintic Equation Has No Radical Solutions

Authors: Xiaochun Mei
Comments: 30 Pages. In Chinese

It is proved in this paper that Abel’s and Galois's proofs that the quintic equations have no radical solutions are invalid. Due to Abel’s and Galois's work about two hundred years ago, it was generally accepted that general quintic equations had no radical solutions. However, Tang Jianer etc. recently proves that there are radical solutions for some quintic equations with special forms. The theories of Abel and Galois can not explain these results. On the other hand, Gauss etc. proved the fundamental theorem of algebra. The theorem declared that there were n solutions for the n degree equations, including the radical and non-radical solutions. The theories of Abel and Galois contradicted with the fundamental theorem of algebra. Due to the reasons above, the proofs of Abel and Galois should be re-examined and re-evaluated. The author carefully analyzed the Abel’s original paper and found some serious mistakes. In order to prove that the general solution of algebraic equation he proposed was effective for the cubic equation, Abel took the known solution of cubic equation as a premise to calculate the parameters of his equation. Therefore, Abel’s proof is a logical circular argument and invalid. Besides, Abel confused the variables with the coefficients (constants) of algebraic equations. An expansion with 14 terms was written as 7 terms, 7 terms were missing.We prefer to consider Galois’s theory as a hypothesis rather than a proof. Based on that permutation group had no true normal subgroup, Galois concluded that the quintic equations had no radical solutions, but these two problems had no inevitable logic connection actually. In order to prove the effectiveness of radical extension group of automorphism mapping for the cubic and quartic equations, in the Galois’s theory, some algebraic relations among the roots of equations were used to replace the root itself. This violated the original definition of automorphism mapping group, led to the confusion of concepts and arbitrariness. For the general cubic and quartic algebraic equations, the actual solving processes do not satisfy the tower structure of the Galois’s solvable group. The resolvents of cubic and quartic equations are proved to have no the symmetries of Galois’s soluble group actually. It is invalid to use the solvable group theory to judge whether the higher degreeequation has a radical solution. The conclusion of this paper is that there is only the Sn symmetry for the n degree algebraic equations. (Truncated by viXra Admin to < 400 words)

Prime Number Distribution Proving the Twin Prime and Goldbach Conjectures

Authors: Budee U. Zaman
Comments: 7 Pages.

The paper investigates the dispersion of prime numbers as well as the twin prime and goldbach’s conjectures. The initial key feature that primenumbers are never even (apart from 2) will be presented as the basis on which a new rule concerning their distribution can be developed. In that wise, this will help us to come up with a demonstration of why there exist an infinite number of odd pairs such that their difference is equal to 2. We also show that the Goldbach conjecture is true. This means that it is possible to write any even number greater than two as the sum of two prime numbers. The results contribute fresh knowledge concerning old mathematics subjects, especially those concerning the origins of prime numbers.

The Inconsistency Problem of Riemann Zeta Function Equation

Authors: Xiaochun Mei
Comments: 16 Pages. In Chinese

Four basic problems are found in Riemann’s original paper proposed in 1859. The Riemann hypothesis becomes meaningless. 1. It is proved that on the real axis of complex plane, the Riemann Zeta function equation holds only at point Re(s)=1/2 (s=a+ib) . However, at this point, the Zeta function is infinite, rather than zero. At other points of real axis with a be not equal to zero and b=0 and , the two sides of function equation are contradictory. When one side is finite, another side may be infinite. 2. An integral item around the original point of coordinate system was neglected when Riemann deduced the integral form of Zeta function. The item was convergent when Re(s)>1 but divergent when Re(s)<1. The integral form of Zeta function does not change the divergence of its series form. Two reasons to cause inconsistency and infinite are analyzed. 3. A summation formula was used in the deduction of the integral form of Zeta function. The applicative condition of this formula is x>0. At point x=0 , the formula is meaningless. However, the lower limit of Zeta function’s integral is x=0, so the formula can not be used. 4. The formula of Jacobi function was used to prove the symmetry of Zeta function equation. The applicable condition of this formula is also x>0. Because the lower limit of integral in the deduction was , this formula can not be used too. The zero calculation of Riemann Zeta function is discussed at last. It is pointed out that because approximate methods are used, they are not the real zeros of strict Riemann Zeta function.

The Goldbach conjecture, that is to say, every even number greater than 4 can be represented by the sum of two primes, is a simple and intractable statement that has been torturing mathematicians for more than 250 years. We wondered if the divide et impera method, so useful in programming and algorithmics, could provide some service here. The goal is simplify and separate the whole problem into three independent and fairly manegeable subproblems. An approach that, as far as I know, has not been tested before.

Transcendence of Deformations of Polylogarithm Functions in Non-Zero Characteristic

Let p be a prime number. In 2005, with the aim of reproving by Wade's method the transcendence for n ∈ Zp N of Γ∞(n), where Γ∞ is the Carlitz-Goss factorial, Yao introduces an uncountable class of deformations of Kochubei polylogarithm functions of which he shows the transcendence of their values u200bu200bin 1 (which is sufficient for his objective) and more generallyin 1/T^k (k ∈ N∗). In this present article, we answer Yao's question to extend this result into a non-zero algebraic. We prove this fact not only in the context of infinite place but also in that of finite places. We show an analogous result for the deformations of the polylogarithm function of Carlitz.

This study conducts a comprehensive empirical andtheoretical validation of the conjecture, using a combined theoretical analysis with computationalsimulations.

Comments: 6 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please cite and list scientific references)

This paper presents a new perspective on prime number distribution, proposing a fractal-like structure that manifests at multiple scales. We introduce a mathematical framework, utilizing modular arithmetic and the Chinese Remainder Theorem, to prove self-similarity in prime distribution. Our model offers potential insights into the Riemann Hypothesis and suggests new approaches to understanding prime number gaps. Computational evidence up to 10^9 demonstrates consistent fractal dimensions across scales, agreement with predicted scaling factors, and self-similar prime gap distributions, strongly supporting our theoretical framework.

Simple Symmetry Proves All Three Riemann's Hypotheses

Authors: Dmitri Martila
Comments: 2 Pages.

Suppose the Riemann Zeta function is multiplied by two arbitrary functions, and the resulting functions' values are equated at symmetrical points concerning the critical line Re s = 1/2. In that case, the resulting system of fourequations has to give the positions of the Zeta function's zeros. However, since the functions are arbitrary, the positions of the zero places are arbitrary, making a zero coincide with non-zero. Hence, the Riemann Hypothesis that the only zeroes are those on the critical line is true. This simple text is proof of the Riemann hypothesis, Generalized Riemann hypothesis and Extended Riemann hypothesis with accordingfunctions.

Approaching Goldbach's Conjecture Using the Asymmetric Relationship Between Primes and Composites Within a Limited Even Boundary

Authors: Junho Eom
Comments: 6 Pages. 1 figure

The wave of primes less than integer n is known to determine new primes by removing composites within a limited boundary between n and n2. As the boundary initiated from n also includes 2n, it is possible to apply the prime wave analysis to Goldbach’s conjecture within a limited 2n boundary. Prior to analysis, the 2n boundary is divided by two: a first boundary between 0 and n and a second boundary between n and 2n. From the point of n, the waves of primes in the first boundary directly but asymmetrically connect to composites in the second boundary. Due to asymmetrical connection between primes and composites, the composites are removed and the remaining numbers are all new primes. As a result, the passively remaining new primes in the second boundary, which is not affected by the continued waves of primes, are partially but symmetrically related to the primes in the first boundary. As long as primes and new primes are symmetrical through maintaining the same distance from n, the sum of a prime and a new prime is always equal to 2n.

Verification of the Riemann Hypothesis Using a Novel Positive Coordinate System Approach

Authors: Bryce Petofi Towne
Comments: 12 Pages.

This paper presents a novel approach to verifying the Riemann Hypothesis us- ing a redefined positive coordinate system and polar representation of complex numbers. Inspired by discussions on the nature of negative numbers, zero, and imaginary numbers, we developed a coordinate system that exclusively uses pos- itive numbers. Through this innovative method, we recalculated and confirmed several known non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. Our results consis- tently support the hypothesis that all non-trivial zeros of the zeta function lie on the critical line where the real part is 1/2. This method provides a new perspective on the Riemann Hypothesis and opens potential avenues for further mathematical exploration.Furthermore, through rigorous mathematical proof and leveraging zero consis- tency theory in complex analysis, we demonstrate that in the polar coordinate system, the Riemann Hypothesis holds true. This proof provides a significant step towards a comprehensive understanding of this profound mathematical conjecture.

This paper takes an entirely new approach to the Goldbach conjecture using pairs of composite integers (composite pairs) that are used to find pairs of prime numbers (prime airs) that sum to the same even natural number.

Behavior of Non-trivial Zeros and Prime Numbers in Reimann Hypothesis

Authors: Ricardo Gil
Comments: 3 Pages.

The Riemann Hypothesis proposes a specific location (the critical line) for the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. This paper argues that the aperiodicity observed in the distribution of these non-trivial zeros and the distribution of primes numbers is a fundamental property. A periodic zeta function would significantly alter its behavior, rendering it irrelevant to studying prime number distribution. Conversely, a periodic pattern in prime numbers or a deviation of non-trivial zeros from the critical line would disprove the Riemann Hypothesis. The observed aperiodicity in both prime number distribution and the zeta function's non-trivial zeros strengthens the case for the Hypothesis' validity. This aperiodicity suggests a deeper connection between prime numbers and the zeta function, one that wouldn't exist with a periodic structure.

Based on every even Prime gaps 2, 4, 6, 8, 10...; the complete set and its derived subsets of Odd Primes all contain arbitrarily large number of elements while fully satisfying Prime number theorem for Arithmetic Progressions, Generic Squeeze theorem and Theorem of Divergent-to-Convergent series conversion for Prime numbers. With these theorems satisfied by all Odd Primes, Polignac's and Twin prime conjectures are proven to be true when usefully regarded as Incompletely Predictable Problems. Riemann hypothesis proposes all nontrivial zeros of Riemann zeta function are located on its critical line. It is separately proven to be true when usefully regarded as an Incompletely Predictable Problem.

Meanwhile, through a series of equation derivations, we can also understand why it is so difficult to find counterexamples of the Riemann hypothesis.

In this thesis, we related LHS and RHS of a^n=c^n-b^n to the constant terms of two monic polynomials f(x)=x^n-a^n and g(x)=x^n-(c^n-b^n). By doing so, the conditions to satisfy the number identity, a^n=c^n-b^n, are transferred to the conditions to satisfy the polynomial identity, f(x)=g(x), which leads to a trivial solution, a=c,b=0, when n≥3.

For a given value of n_1, successive (6n_1-1)(6n_2+1), (6n_1-1)(6n_2-1) and (6n_1+1)(6n_2+1) composites occur at a regular interval, which increases by 36 from one value of n_1 to the next. When combined, these regular but different intervals create disorder in the sequences of 6n-1 and 6n+1 composites, which in turn creates the apparent randomness of the primes in the sequence of natural numbers. Furthermore, {(6n_1-1)(6n_2-1)} and {(6n_1+1)(6n_2+1)} numbers are subsets of 6n+1 composites whereas the only subset of the 6n-1 composites is {(6n_1-1)(6n_2+1)}. This creates a slight inequality in the proportions of composites and primes between the sets {6n-1} and {6n+1}, which otherwise have an equal number of members overall.

Euclid and other mathematicians have emonstrated that prime numbers are infinite and, not being able to state how many prime numbers there are and how much time and space is needed to know their value, to satisfy the twin prime conjecture or Goldbach's conjecture , it will never be possible to elaborate all the possible combinations and values u200bu200bthat can be obtained by adding two or three of the infinite prime numbers but it is possible to know all the possible combinations and values u200bu200bthat can be obtained by adding two or three of the prime numbers, known, which are less than or equal to 2n+1.

Minimal Dividing Odd Subsets Are Related to the Golden Ratio

Authors: Mathis Antonetti
Comments: 4 Pages.

In this note, we give a proof for a lower bound (though not a satisfying one) of the density of minimal dividing odd subsets where the goldenratio surprisingly appears. We also provide some other properties of such integer subsets and some new insight on the relationship between minimaldividing odd subsets and the Goldbach conjecture. We argue that the study of minimal dividing odd subsets is a new and interesting starting point to prove the Goldbach conjecture.

Proof of Collatz Conjecture

Authors: Bob Ross
Comments: 4 Pages.

Proof of this conjecture has been elusive for over 60 years. The key to a proof was to find the right combination of logic and equations to complete the proof. We section the Natural numbers into 3 mutually exclusive sets. We first assume that for the first set that there is a number in the set that does not obey Collatz and show this cannot be true since it leads to a contradiction. Using this result we show that the other 2 sets must also obey Collatz.

In this notice, we introduce the problem of minimal dividing odd subsets for the even numbers and we show that the density of such subsets of $n$ elements is asymptotically normal (that is at least decreasing as $frac{1}{n}$).

Proofs for Collatz Conjecture and Kaakuma Sequence

Authors: Dawit Geinamo Bambore
Comments: 38 Pages.

The objective of this study is to present precise proofs of Collatz conjecture and to introduce some interesting conjectures on Kaakuma sequence. We Proposed a novel approach that tackles the Collatz conjecture in different techniques with different point of views. The study also shows some general truths and behaviors of Collatz conjecture. Finally, the proof discovers Qodaa ration test that works for all complex and complicated Kaakuma sequence and new characteristics of the sequence. This proof help to changes some views of researchers on unsolved problems and some point of views on probability in infinite range. In this study we discovered the dynamicity of Collatz sequence and reflection and interpretation of the probabilistic proof Collatz Conjecture.Our investigation culminates in the formulation of a set of conjecture encompassing lemmas and postulates, which we rigorously prove using a combination of analytical reasoning, numerical evidence, and exhaustive case analysis. These results provide compelling evidence for the veracity of the Collatz Conjecture and contribute to our understanding of the underlying mathematical structure. Finaly we derived some behaviors of Collatz sequence like translation, reflection, divisibility, constants, successive division, evenly distribution, iteration groups, huge untrivial cycle and we constructed point of views on Consistency of Constants, instantaneously falling values, contradictions on density and Qodaa ratio test.

Contribution to Lonely Runner Conjecture

Authors: Radomir Majkic
Comments: 6 Pages.

The Lonely Runner conjecture finds its mathematical description in winding the runner's linear paths into the complete cycle, c-cycle, on the unit track circle. All runners, to finish the competition, must complete the c-cyclesimultaneously. Any collection BT mR_{cn}ET of the BT cnET integer speeds runners and maximum speed BT v_{cn} =nET is a subset of the enveloping collection BT mR_{n}={ 1,2,3,cdots,n}ET of the BT n,;n>cn,ETrunners with the maximum speed BT n.ET[0.50mm]The time period BT 1_{ct}=1/nET of the fastest runner, f-runner BT n,ET defines the set of BT nET right half open time f-segments of the measure BT 1_{ct},ET which cover the c-cycle time domain of the measure BT 1.ETThe winding mapping of the linear paths BT X(t)ET associates with the c-cycle Graph BT G,ET the union of the BT nET individual graphs BT g=(t,X(t)),ET reduced to the domain of the c-cycle. The time domain segmentation partitions the Graph BT GET into BT nET Subgraphs BT G_{i},ET each one on the one of the BT nET f-segments. The final Subgraph bundle sinks into the point BT (1,1).ETAt the end of the first f-segment, all the runners arranged into f-constellation at the BT nET fixed, stationary points on the unit circle in the sequence of the increasing speeds. However, at the final f-segment, the runners, on the way to the starting point, are arranged at the decreasing speed order at the same stationary points.The speed order inversion inverts the slope order of the graphs on the final Subgraph bundle.Finally, the infimum graph BT g_{n-1}ET of the Subgraph bundle of the BT n-1ET runner's mutual separation graphs, the graph of thelargest slope connects the points BT (0,n-1)1_{cl}ET and BT (1,1)1_{cl}.ETConsequently, the Lonely Runner conjecture is true on the set BT mR_{n},ET and must be true on any of its subset BT mR_{cn},ET

Study of the Riemann Zeta Function for Odd Integers

Authors: Jesús Sánchez
Comments: 34 Pages.

In this paper we will try to find a solution for the Riemann Zeta function for odd integers. We will start with ζ(3) (the Riemann Zeta function with s=3) emulating the "Basel problem". But instead of using a sine or cosine function, using functions similar to these:f(x)=1-x^3/3!+x^6/6!-x^9/9!+⋯f(x)=1/3 (e^(-x·e^(1/3 (2πi) ) ) 〖+e〗^(-x·e^(2/3 (2πi) ) )+e^(-x·e^(3/3 (2πi) ) ) )We will discover that the process itself seems ok, but with a problem. The solutions of the above functions are not periodic, so we cannot emulate the "Basel problem" perfectly, obtaining the following value:ζ(3)=(π^3/(3!(√3)^3 ))/(1-1/2^3 )=1.1366020≠1.202056903With a small correction, we arrive to:ζ(3)=(π^3/(3!(√3)^3 ))/(1-1/2^3 ) e^(2/√3)/3=1.202173775≈1.202056903 [7]But not getting the correct value anyhow. The only way of obtaining the correct value would be to find a function of the form:g(x)=1-r(3)·x^3/3!+r(6)·x^6/6!-r(9)·x^9/9!+⋯That has periodic zeros. Where r(n) is an unknown function to be calculate/discovered.We have also generalized this study to calculate a general ζ(k) where k can be higher odd numbers, or even numbers. Having ζ(k) for even numbers would lead to obtaining a closed equation for the Bernoulli numbers. If a generalization for k as a general complex number was possible, we could even consider k=½+it, obtaining a closed function for the zeros of the Riemann Zeta function.

On the Convergence of the Generalized Collatz Function

Authors: Oussama Basta
Comments: 6 Pages.

The Collatz conjecture, which states that repeated application of the function ( f(n) = begin{cases} n/2, & text{if } n equiv 0 pmod{2} 3n+1, & text{if } n equiv 1 pmod{2} end{cases} ) to any positive integer ( n ) will eventually reach the number 1, has been a long-standing open problem in mathematics. In this paper, we investigate a generalized version of the Collatz function, denoted as ( f(E, T) ), where ( E ) is a positive integer and ( T ) is a fixed positive integer. We prove that for any positive integer ( E ), repeated application of ( f(E, T) ) will eventually lead to an even number. Furthermore, we show that any even number will eventually reach a power of 2 under repeated application of ( f(E, T) ), and once a power of 2 is reached, the sequence will enter the cycle ( 1 ightarrow 4 ightarrow 2 ightarrow 1 ). These results provide new insights into the behavior of the generalized Collatz function and its convergence properties.

Simple Arrangement in Which it is Possible to Arrange the Prime Numbers in Order to Obtain a Range of Occupied Consecutive Positions Greater Than Those Defined by the Legendre Conjecture

The Legendre conjecture tells us that there always exists a prime number between ��^2 and (�� + 1)^2. In this article, we will see that it is possible to arrange prime numbers less than or equal to N in order to obtain a consecutive number of occupied positions greater than the interval from ��^2to (�� + 1)^2. It is important to note that this result does not define a counterexample to the Legendre conjecture, but it represents an interesting theoretical result that can help us resolve many of the conjectures regarding the gap between two prime numbers

Proving & Teaching Beal Conjecture

Authors: A. A. Frempong
Comments: 8 Pages. Copyright © by A. A. Frempong

By applying basic mathematical principles, the author surely, and instructionally, proves, directly, the original Beal conjecture which states that if A^x + B^y = C^z, where A, B, C, x, y, z are positive integers and x, y, z > 2, then A, B and C have a common prime factor. One will let r, s, and t be prime factors of A, B and C, respectively, such that A = Dr, B = Es, C = Ft, where D, E, and F are positive integers. Then, the equation A^x + B^y = C^z becomes D^xr^x + E^ys^y = F^zt^z. The proof would be complete after showing that the equalities, r^x = t^x, s^y = t^y and r = s = t, are true. More formally, the conjectured equality, r^x = t^x would be true if and only if (r^x /t^x) =1; and the conjectured equality s^y = t^y would be true if and only if (s^y/ t^y) = 1. These conjectures would be proved in the Beal conjecture proof. The main principle for obtaining relationships between the prime factors on the left side of the equation and the prime factor on the right side of the equation is that the power of each prime factor on the left side of the equation equals the same power of the prime factor on the right side of the equation. High school students can learn and prove this conjecture for a bonus question on a final class exam.

This is trivial, but despite its elementary standing, some peripheral or recreational mathematicians make claims about 0/0 or k/0 having some value, or in some cases, several values in different contexts, according to the author’s whim. Division by zero is undefined and attempts to define it lead to contradiction.

Collatz Conjecture, Pythagorean Triples, and the Riemann Hypothesis: Unveiling a Novel Connection Through Dropping Times

Authors: Darcy Thomas
Comments: 14 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please cite and list scientific references in the future))

In the landscape of mathematical inquiry, where the ancient and the modern intertwine, few problemscaptivate the imagination as profoundly as the Collatz conjecture and the quest for Pythagorean triples. The former, a puzzle that has defied solution since its inception in the 1930s by Lothar Collatz, asks us to consider a simple iterative process: for any positive integer, if it is even, divide it by two; if it is odd, triple it and add one. Despite its apparent simplicity, the conjecture leads us into a labyrinth ofdiverse complexity, where patterns emerge and dissolve in an unpredictable dance. On the other hand, Pythagorean triples, sets of three integers that satisfy the ancient Pythagorean theorem, have been a cornerstone of geometry since the time of the ancient Greeks, embodying the harmony of numbers and the elegance of spatial relationships. This exploratory paper embarks on an unprecedented journey to bridge these seemingly disparatedomains of mathematics. At the heart of this exploration is the discovery of a novel connectionbetween Collatz dropping times and Pythagorean triples. I will demonstrate how the dropping timeof each odd number can be uniquely associated with a Pythagorean triple. As you will see, the triplesseem to be encoding spatial information about Collatz trajectories. As we begin to work with triples, we’ll be motivated to move from the number line to the complex plane where we find structure and behavior resembling that of the Riemann Zeta function and it’s zeros.

A Machine Learning Guided Proof of Beal's Conjecture

Authors: Jonathan Wilson
Comments: 15 Pages.

This paper presents a proof of Beal's conjecture, a long-standing open problem in number theory, guided by insights from machine learning. The proof leverages a novel combination of techniques from modular arithmetic, prime factorization, and the theory of Diophantine equations. Key lemmas, including an expanded version of a modular constraint and a pairwise coprimality condition, are derived with the help of patterns discovered through computational experiments. These lemmas, together with a refined conjecture based on the distribution of prime factors in the dataset, are used to derive a contradiction, proving that any solution to Beal's equation must have a common prime factor among its bases. The proof demonstrates the potential of machine learning in guiding the discovery of mathematical proofs and opens up new avenues for research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and number theory.

Geometric Interpretations of Riemann Hypothesis and the Proof

Authors: Tae Beom Lee
Comments: 5 Pages.

The Riemann zeta function(RZF), ζ(s), is a function of a complex variable s=x+iy. Riemann hypothesis(RH) states that all the non-trivial zeros of RZF lie on the critical line, x=1/2. The symmetricity of RZF zeros implies that if ζ(α+ iβ)=0, then ζ(1-α+ iβ)=0, too. In geometric view, if RH is false, two trajectories ζ(α+ iy) and ζ(1-α+ iy) must intersect at the origin when y=β. But, according to the functional equations of RZF, two trajectories ζ(α+ iy) and ζ(1-α+ iy) can’t intersect except when α=1/2. So, they can’t intersect at the origin, too, proving RH is true.

Isolating the Prime Numbers

Authors: Adrian M. Stokes
Comments: 4 Pages.

Prime numbers greater than 3 belong to the number sequences 6n ± 1 wheren ≥ 1. These sequences also include the composites that are not divisible by 2 and/or3 and therefore their factors must also be of the form 6n ± 1. This allows all of the6n±1 composites to be equivalently written in the form of factors (6n1±1)(6n2±1),where n1 and n2 ≥ 1, creating three sub-sequences that exclude prime numbers.Finding and isolating the prime numbers can be achieved by selecting a numberrange and creating a set of 6n ± 1 numbers for that range before subtracting thesubsets (6n1 ± 1)(6n2 ± 1) to isolate and identify all the primes in the set.

A New Attempt to Check Whether Ramanujan's Formula Pi^4 Approx 97.5-1/11 is a Part of Some Completely Accurate Formula

Comments: 7 Pages.

Intuitively, it seems that Ramanujan's formula $pi^4approx 97.5-1/11$ is an approximation for some perfectly accurate formula for $pi$. Here is one attempt to prove this. The principle of proof, however, is based on closeness of the every rest term to the inverse of integers. Although it is indeed somewhat closer to integers than it is on average, this proof is not complete. So we cannot say for sure whether this proves or disproves that this Ramanujan's formula has higher approximations; however, it gives hints and opens up space for further research.Moreover, this attempted proof is quite original. Also, such a method could also help in physics.

Validating Collatz Conjecture Through Binary Representation and Probabilistic Path Analysis

Authors: Budee U. Zaman
Comments: 15 Pages.

The Collatz conjecture, a longstanding mathematical puzzle, posits that, regardless of the starting integer, iteratively applying a specific formula will eventually lead to the value 1. This paper introduces a novelapproach to validate the Collatz conjecture by leveraging the binary representation of generated numbers. Each transition in the sequence is predetermined using the Collatz conjecture formula, yet the path of transitionsis revealed to be intricate, involving alternating increases and decreases for each initial value. The study delves into the global flow of the sequence, investigating thebehavior of the generated numbers as they progress toward the termination value of 1. The analysis utilizes the concept of probability to shed light on the complex dynamics of the Collatz conjecture. By incorporatingprobabilistic methods, this research aims to unravel the underlying patterns and tendencies that govern the convergence of the sequence.The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the Collatz conjecture,offering insights into the inherent complexities of its trajectories. This work not only validates the conjecture through binary representation but also provides a probabilistic framework to elucidate the global flow ofthe sequence, enriching our comprehension of this enduring mathematical mystery.

Analyzing the Connection from (H(z)) to the Riemann Zeta Function

Authors: Oussama Basta
Comments: 6 Pages.

This paper explores the intriguing connection between the function (H(z) = ln(|sec(pi z/log(z))|)) and the Riemann Zeta Function (zeta(s)). The journey begins by investigating the zeros of (H(z)) and employing advanced mathematical tools such as the Taylor series expansion, the argument principle, and the inverse Mellin transform. Through this exploration, we establish a relationship that leads to a complex integral representation connecting (H(z)) to the Riemann Zeta Function (zeta(s)).

A Mathematical Criterion for the Validity of the Riemann Hypothesis

Authors: Zhiyang Zhang
Comments: 7 Pages.

We already know in what situations there will be counterexamples for the Riemann hypothesis, but simply increasing Im (s) to find counterexamples for the Riemann hypothesis is still very slow. If there is only a counterexample when Im (s)=10 ^ 1000, or even 10 ^ 10000, then the performance requirements for the computer are very demanding. So, we must create a numerical order determinant to determine whether the Riemann hypothesis holds.

Analytical number theory is a combination of trigonometric functions and polynomial symbols, which can be solved no matter how difficult it is. Therefore, I believe that the Riemann hypothesis is not unsolvable. In the field of number theory, the mathematical community tends to seek a maximum number to overturn the conclusion. Whether it is the Riemann hypothesis or the Goldbach conjecture, this should be the solution.

On the Nonexistence of Solutions to a Diophantine Equation Involving Prime Powers

Authors: Budee U. Zaman
Comments: 7 Pages.

This paper investigates the Diophantine equation pr + (p + 1)s = z2 Where p > 3, s ≥ 3 , z is an even integer. The focus of the study is to establish rigorous results concerning the existence of solutions within this specific parameter space. The main result presented in this paper demonstrates the absence of solutions under the stated conditions. The proof employs mathematical techniques to systematically address the case when the prime p exceeds 3, and the exponent s is equal to or greater than2, while requiring the solution to conform to the constraint of an even z. This work contributes to the understanding of the solvability of the given Diophantine equation and provides valuable insights into the interplay between prime powers and the resulting solutions.

In this paper, we invent a complete calculator as a software calculator to execute complete operations. The experiments on the complete calculator could directly prove such a corollary: Operator axioms are consistent.

The same basic methodology is then used to show that there can also be no highest twin prime.

The Collatz conjecture, a puzzle that has intrigued mathematicians for decades, has met its resolution through a simple combination of trial and error combined with a spreadsheet. While the primary goal was to definitively prove the conjecture, the exploration revealed unexpected insights into the underlying patterns of the Collatz sequence. This study introduces a novel approach to organizing and analyzing Collatz data, laying bare the formulas governing the sequence's behavior. The results present a conclusive proof of the Collatz conjecture and unveil a spectrum of sets and formulas reaching to infinity, each contributing to a deeper understanding of its workings. Comprehensive instructions are provided, encouraging collaboration and furthering the collective understanding of mathematical sequences.

A Proof of Riemann Hypothesis by Symmetry and Circular Properties of Riemann Zeta Function

Authors: Tae Beom Lee
Comments: 9 Pages.

Riemann zeta function(RZF) z(s) is a function of a complex variable s=x+iy. Riemann hypothesis(RH) states that all the non-trivial zeros of RZF lie on the critical line, 0.5+iy. The symmetricity of RZF zeros implies that if z(a+ib)=0,0<a<0.5, then z(1-a+ib)=0, too. The graphs of RZF are similar to the graphs of circles with non-uniform radius and argument. These two, symmetry and circular properties of RZF, are the basis of our proof.

Riemann Hypothesis

Authors: Bertrand Wong
Comments: 14 Pages.

This paper discusses the distribution of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function ζ. It looks into the question of whether any non-trivial zeros would ever possibly be found off the critical line Re(s) = 1/2 on the critical strip between Re(s) = 0 and Re(s) = 1, e.g., at Re(s) = 1/4, 1/3, 3/4, 4/5, etc., and why all the non-trivial zeros are always found at the critical line Re(s) = 1/2 on the critical strip between Re(s) = 0 and Re(s) = 1 and not anywhere else on this critical strip, with the first 1013 non-trivial zeros having been found only at the critical line Re(s) = 1/2. It should be noted that a conjecture, or, hypothesis could possibly be proved by comparing it with a theorem that has been proven, which is one of the several deductions utilized in this paper. Through these several deductions presented, the paper shows how the Riemann hypothesis may be approached to arrive at a solution. In the paper, instead of merely using estimates of integrals and sums (which are imprecise and may therefore be of little or no reliability) in the support of arguments, where feasible actual computations and precise numerical facts are used to support arguments, for precision, for more sharpness in the arguments, and for "checkability" or ascertaining of the conclusions. This paper is the revised and expanded version of a paper [5] published in 2022.

Proof of the Collatz Conjecture

The Collatz conjecture considers recursively sequences of positive integers where n is succeeded by n/2 , if n is even, or (3n+1)/2 , if n is odd. The conjecture states that for all starting values n the sequence eventually reaches the trivial cycle 1, 2, 1, 2u2026u2026The inverted Collatz sequences can be represented as a tree with 1 as its root node. In order to prove the Collatz conjecture, one must demonstrate that the tree covers all natural numbers. In this paper, we construct a Collatz tree with 1 as its root node by connecting infinite number of basic trees. Each basic tree relates to each natural number. We prove that a Collatz tree is a connected binary tree and covers all natural numbers.

For an integer $m$, let $P(m)$ denote the largest prime factor of $m$, with $P(0)=P(pm 1)=1$. We show that if $n ge k + 1$, then $P (L_n^{(k)} ) > (1/86) log log n$.

A Proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem by Relating to Monic Polynomial Properties

Fermat's Last Theorem(FLT) states that there is no natural number set {a,b,c,n} which satisfies a^n+b^n=c^n or a^n=c^n-b^n when n≥3. In this thesis, we related LHS and RHS of a^n=c^n-b^n to the constant terms of two monic polymials x^n-a^n and x^n-(c^n-b^n). By doing so, we could inspect whether these two polynomials can be identical when n≥3, i.e., x^n-a^n=x^n-(c^n-b^n), which satisfies a^n=c^n-b^n. By inspecting the properties of two polynomials such as factoring, root structures and graphs, we found that x^n-a^n and x^n-(c^n-b^n) can’t be identical when n≥3, except when trivial cases.

With this condition being satisfied by all Odd Primes, we argue that Polignac's and Twin prime conjectures are proven to be true with these conjectures treated as Incompletely Predictable Problems. In so doing [and with the famous Riemann hypothesis being a special case], the generalized Riemann hypothesis formulated for Dirichlet L-function is also supported. Riemann hypothesis is separately proven to be true with this hypothesis treated as an Incompletely Predictable Problem.

Mathematics for Incompletely Predictable Problems Required to Prove Riemann Hypothesis, Modified Polignac's and Twin Prime Conjectures

Authors: John Yuk Ching Ting
Comments: 69 Pages.

As two different but related infinite-length equations through analytic continuation, Hasse principle is satisfied by Riemann zeta function as a certain type of equation that generates all infinitely-many trivial zeros but this principle is not satisfied by its proxy Dirichlet eta function as a dissimilar type of equation that generates all infinitely-many nontrivial zeros. Based on two seemingly different location that are in fact identical, all nontrivial zeros are mathematically located on critical line or geometrically located on Origin point. Thus we prove location for complete Set nontrivial zeros to be critical line confirming Riemann hypothesis to be true. Sieve of Eratosthenes as a certain type of infinite-length algorithm is exactly constituted by an Arbitrarily Large Number of (self-)similar infinite-length sub-algorithms that are specified by every even Prime gaps. Modified Hasse principle is satisfied by this algorithm and its sub-algorithms that perpetually generate the Arbitrarily Large Number of all Odd Primes. Thus we prove Set even Prime gaps with corresponding Subsets Odd Primes all have cardinality Arbitrarily Large in Number confirming Modified Polignac's and Twin prime conjectures to be true.

Collatz Conjecture Proved Ingeniously & Very Simply

Authors: A. A. Frempong
Comments: 12 Pages. Copyright © by A. A. Frempong

Collatz conjecture states that beginning with a positive integer, if one repeatedly performs the following operations to form a sequence of integers, the sequence will eventually reach the integer one; the operations being that if the integer is even, divide it by 2, but if the integer is odd, multiply it by 3 and add one; and also, use the result of each step as the input for the next step. One would note the patterns of the sequence terms as the Collatz process reaches the equivalent powers, 2^(2k) (k = 2, 3, . . . ) and continues as 2^(2k-1), 2^(2k-2), 2^(2k-3), . . ., 2^(2k-2k). Two main cases are covered. In Case 1, the integer can be readily written as a power of 2 as 2^(k) (k=1,2,3, . . . ), and the sequence would reach the integer one by following 2^(k-1), 2^(k-2), 2^(k-3,), . . . , 2^(k-k). In Case 2, the integer cannot be readily written as a power of 2, but the sequence terms reach the equivalent power, 2^(2k) (k = 2, 3, . . . ) which will continue as 2^(2k-1), 2^(2k-2), 2^(2k-3), . . . , 2^(2k-2k). In Case 2, when the sequence terms reach some particular integers such as 5, 21 and 85, the application of 3n + 1 to these integers will result in the powers, 2^(2k). One would call these integers, the 2k-power converters. There are infinitely many 2k-power converters as there are 2^(2k) powers. A term of the sequence must be converted to 2^(2k). There are infinitely many paths for converting integers to 2^(2k) powers. Of these paths, the integer 5-path, is the nearest 2^(2k) converter path to the integer 1 on the 2^(2k)-route. For the 5-path, when a sequence terms reach the integer, 5, the next term would be 16. Other integers can follow the integer 5-path to 16 as follows: Let n be an integer whose sequence terms would reach 16, and let n ± r = 5, where r is the net change in the sequence terms before the integer 5; and one uses the positive sign if n < 5, but the negative sign if n > 5. One will call the following, the 5-path 2k-converter template: 3(n ± r) + 1 = 16. By the substitution axiom, using this template, the sequence of every positive integer would reach 16; and applying repeated division by 2, the sequence will reach the integer 1.

Authors: Ji-Song Ro, Myong-Hyok Sin, Yong-Ho Kim, Sung-Il Gang
Comments: 12 Pages.

We model the rotation process of the motor for variable-order fractional control, which has been active in recent research, and perform numerical simulation of its optimal control and automatic control process. In this paper, we verify numerical method and error estimation of variable order fractional linear dynamic system with time-varying coefficients, a variable-order fractional PID controller design method where the integral of the absolute error with time weight is minimized is proposed using particle swarm optimization algorithm and demonstrate its effectiveness through numerical simulation for DC motor speed control. Numerical experiments show that the performance of the VFPID controller is superior to PID and FPID, especially VFPIDB (B-type variable order FPID) controller has the best performance. Finally, when the differential order varies, the subtypes of variable-order fractional derivatives are analyzed for the effects on the control objective, its effectiveness is newly clarified, and their research and practice is highlighted.

Reverse Chebyshev Bias in the Distribution of Superprimes

Authors: Waldemar Puszkarz
Comments: 12 pages. Originally posted on ResearchGate in September 2023.

We study the distribution of superprimes, a subsequence of prime numbers with prime indices, mod 4. Rather unexpectedly, this subsequenceexhibits a reverse Chebyshev bias: terms of the form 4k + 1 are more common than those of the form 4k + 3, whereas the opposite is the case in the sequence of all primes. The effect, while initially weak and easy to overlook, tends tobe several times larger than the Chebyshev bias for all primes for samples of comparable size, at least, by one simple measure. By two other measures, it can be seen as fairly strong; by the same measures the ordinary Chebyshev effectis very strong. Both of these measures also imply that the reverse Chebyshev bias for superprimes is more volatile than the ordinary Chebyshev bias.

The Philosophical and Mathematical Implications of Division by 0/0 = 1 in Light of Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity

Authors: Budee U. Zaman
Comments: 9 Pages.

The enigma of dividing zero by zero 0 0 has perplexed scholars across philosophy, mathematics, and physics, remaining devoid of a clear-cut solution. This lingering conundrum leaves us in an unsatisfactory position,as there emerges a genuine necessity for such divisions, particularly in scenarios involving tensor components that are both set at zero. This article endeavors to grapple with this profound issue by leveraging the insights of Einstein’s theory of special relativity. Surprisingly, when we wholeheartedly embrace the ramifications of this theory, it becomes evidentthat zero divided by zero must equate to one 00 = 1. Essentially, we are confronted with a pivotal decision: either embrace the feasibility and definition of dividing zero by zero, in accordance with Einstein’s theory of special relativity, or reevaluate the integrity of this fundamental theory itself. This exploration delves into the profound consequences arisingfrom this critical choice.

So many scholars deduced that he arrives to his famous numerical sequence starting from this problem. In this article is explained a new hypothesis. The Fibonacci sequence was generated by the iteration of a theorem on the Golden Section, and it is presumably that was the great Italian mathematician to state and demonstrate it. The theorem allow us to proof a lot of properties of Fibonacci numbers. [*] A man put a pair of rabbits in a place surrounded on all sides by a wall.

The Riemann hypothesis is a mathematical conjecture that relates to the calculation of prime numbers through the Riemann product formula, which represents the product of Riemann zeta function and factorial. There were flows in deriving ∫x^(s-1)/(e^x-1) dx from Riemann product formula and, in attempting to represent the negative region by substituting x with —x. Furthermore, asserting that the Riemann zeta function, in the absence of a definition for negative factorial, obtains trivial zeros for negative even numbers through the Bernoulli exponential generating formula in the negative domain is also incorrect.

Proof of the Collatz Conjecture Based on a Directed Graph

Authors: Wiroj Homsup, Nathawut Homsup
Comments: 6 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Both author's names should be filled on the Replacement Form))

The Collatz conjecture considers recursively sequences of positive integers where n is succeeded by n/2 , if n is even or (3n+1)/2 , if n is odd. The conjecture states that for all starting values n the Collatz sequence eventually reaches a trivial cycle 1, 2, 1, 2u2026u2026. If the Collatz conjecture is false, then either there is a nontrivial cycle, or one sequence goes to infinity. In this paper, we construct a directed graph based on the union of infinite number of basic Collatz directed graphs. Each basic Collatz directed graph relates to each positive integer. We show that the directed graph is connected and covers all positive integers. There is only a trivial cycle and no sequence goes to infinity.

Proof of the Collatz Conjecture Using the Reverse Algorithm

Authors: Ugur Pervane
Comments: 7 Pages.

The Collatz conjecture has remained unsolved for a long time. In this paper, a proof of this conjecture will be presented. We know that almost all numbers will eventually reach one through the steps of the Collatz algorithm. Terence Tao has previously proven this. This paper demonstrates that all numbers will reach one by using Tao's proof. If almost all numbers reach one, then the probability that a randomly chosen number from an infinite set of numbers will reach one is one. The probability that a number will not reach one is zero. The probability of selecting the elements of the number sequences associated with a number n that violates the conjecture from an infinite set of numbers is a non-zero value such as c. However, this contradicts the proof that almost all numbers reach one. Therefore, there is no such number n that violates the conjecture, and the conjecture is true for all numbers. In order to prove that the probability of selecting the elements of the number sequences associated with a number n that violates the conjecture from an infinite set of numbers is a non-zero value like c, we examine the sequences associated with one. If the probability of selecting the elements of each branch of these sequences from an infinite set of numbers is a non-zero value, we reach the desired proof.

A Simple Probabilistic Heuristic Supporting the Collatz Conjecture

Authors: Shreyansh Jaiswal
Comments: 11 Pages.

The Collatz Conjecture, also known as the 3x+1 problem, posits that for any positive integer n, the sequence defined by the Collatz functionwill eventually reach the number 1. This conjecture has been extensively tested for a vast range of values, consistently supporting its validity. Inthis paper, we explore a probabilistic perspective to provide additional support for the conjecture. We focus on the probability that the Collatzsequence T(n), for any starting value n, reaches a power of 2—an essential step in the sequence’s progression toward 1. Our approach suggests that as n tends to infinity, the likelihood of the Collatz conjecture being satisfied becomes very high. This probabilistic argument aligns with the extensive empirical evidence supporting the conjecture and offers a novel perspective on its validity. While not a formal proof, our findings contribute to the broader understanding of the Collatz Conjecture and reinforce the conjecture’s plausibility through probabilistic reasoning.

A Simple Framework for Improving the Prime Number Theorem Regarding Estimating the Nth Prime Number

Authors: Shreyansh Jaiswal
Comments: 20 Pages. Distributed under CC BY-SA 4.0

The Prime Number Theorem (PNT) offers a foundational approximation for the distribution of prime numbers and aids in estimating the nth prime number p(n) through p(n) ∼ n log n. This paper proposes enhancements to this approximation by introducing a correction factor C(k), refining the estimate to p(n) ≈ C(k)·n·log n. The derivation of C(k) is explored, alongside its asymptotic behavior and empiricalanalysis. A generalized formula for p(n) is also derived, eliminating variables other than n and e (Euler’s number). Empirical comparisons with traditional methods demonstrate the accuracy and computational efficiency of these new approaches. Ideal conditions for optimal performance of C(k) are examined. Graphical representations and statistical analyses support the validity of the proposed refinements. The paper concludes with a discussion on the implications of these findings and potential areas for future research.

We apply infinitesimals to their outputs. Riemann hypothesis asserts the complete set of all nontrivial zeros from Riemann zeta function is located on its critical line. It is proven to be true when usefully regarded as an Incompletely Predictable Problem. The complete set with derived subsets of Odd Primes contain arbitrarily large number of elements and satisfy Prime number theorem for Arithmetic Progressions, Generic Squeeze theorem and Theorem of Divergent-to-Convergent series conversion for Prime numbers. Having these theorems being satisfied, Polignac's and Twin prime conjectures are separately proven to be true when usefully regarded as Incompletely Predictable Problems.

The Strict Proof That the Riemann Zeta Function Equation Has No Non-Trivial Zeros

Authors: Xiaochun Mei
Comments: 13 Pages.

A standard method is proposed to prove strictly that the Riemann Zeta function equation has no non-trivial zeros. The real part and imaginary part of the Riemann Zeta function equation are separated completely. By comparing the real part and the imaginary part of Zeta function equation individually, a set of equation is obtained. It is proved that this equation set only has the solutions of trivial zeros. So the Riemann Zeta function equation has no non-trivial zeros. The Riemann hypothesis does not hold.

Approaching Goldbach’s Conjecture Using the Asymmetric Relationship Between Primes and Composites Within a Limited Even Boundary

Authors: Junho Eom
Comments: 10 Pages.

When an arbitrary integer n is chosen, the set of consecutive numbers from 0 to n is considered the 1st boundary and it expands using an arithmetic sequence with n elements but limited to n2, or the nth boundary. Except for 1, each number in the 1st boundary can be expressed in the wave form of ‘y_n=sinu2061(180/n∙x)’, it connects to composites located between the 2nd and nth boundaries. Through wave multiplication, the wave of a composite, such as y4, overlaps with the wave of a prime, y2, can be eliminated, leaving only the waves of primes. Except for the prime factors of n, the waves of primes in the 1st boundary now have an asymmetrical relationship with the composites located between the 2nd and nth boundaries. If ‘y1’ is divided by the product of prime waves, the asymmetrical relationship between primes and composites is eliminated, leaving only new primes passively remaining between the 2nd and nth boundaries. Under the same conditions, the boundary can be limited to 2n (or 2nd boundary) instead of n2 (or nth boundary). When n ≥ 4, there is at least one prime in the 1st boundary, excluding the even prime 2. This ensures that a new prime, which maintains the same distance from n and forms a symmetric relationship, can be paired. The sum of this pair - a caused prime in the 1st boundary and an effected new prime in the 2nd boundary - is always 2n, thereby satisfying Goldbach’s conjecture.

Analyzing Non-Trivial Zeros of the Riemann Zeta Function Using Polar Coordinates

Comments: 22 Pages.

This paper presents an approach to analyzing the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function using polar coordinates. We investigate whether the real part of all non-trivial zeros can be determined to be a constant value. By transforming the traditional complex plane into a polar coordinate system, we recalculated and examined several known non-trivial zeros of the zeta function. Our findings provide an alternative framework for understanding this profound mathematical conjecture.Through mathematical proof and leveraging analytic continuation and holomorphic function theory, we explore the nature of (sigma) in the polar coordinate system. This analysis transforms the problem into a geometric one, allowing for simpler and more intuitive calculations. This approach provides a step towards an alternative understanding of the properties of the Riemann zeta function's non-trivial zeros. The findings of this work indicates that wit this geometric perspective, the Riemann Hypothesis holds true.

Verification of the Riemann Hypothesis Using a Novel Positive Coordinate System Approach

This paper presents a novel approach to verifying the Riemann Hypothesis using a redefined positive coordinate system and polar representation of complex numbers. Inspired by discussions on the nature of negative numbers, zero, and imaginary numbers, we developed a co- ordinate system that exclusively uses positive numbers. Through this innovative method, we recalculated and confirmed several known non- trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. Our results consistently support the hypothesis that all non-trivial zeros of the zeta function lie on the critical line where the real part is 1/2. This method provides a new perspective on the Riemann Hypothesis and opens potential avenues for further mathematical exploration.Furthermore, through rigorous mathematical proof and leveraging zero consistency theory in complex analysis, we demonstrate that in the polar coordinate system, the Riemann Hypothesis holds true for all non-trivial zeros. This proof provides a significant step towards a comprehensive understanding of this profound mathematical conjecture.

Proofs for Collatz Conjecture and Kaakuma Sequence

Authors: Bambore Dawit Geinamo
Comments: 47 Pages. 47

The objective of this study is to present precise proofs of the Collatz conjecture and introduce some interesting behavior on Kaakuma sequence. We propose a novel approach that tackles the Collatz conjecture using different techniques and angles. The Collatz Conjecture, proposed by Lothar Collatz in 1937, remains one of the most intriguing unsolved problems in mathematics. The conjecture posits that, for any positive integer, applying a series of operations will eventually lead to the number 1. Despite decades of rigorous investigation and countless computational verification, a complete proof has eluded mathematicians. In this research endeavor, we embark on a comprehensive exploration of the Collatz Conjecture, aiming to shed light on its underlying principles and ultimately establish its validity. Our investigation begins by defining the Collatz function and investigating some behavior like. transformation, selective mapping, successive division, constant growth rate of inverse tree, and more. Using and analyzing the discovered properties of Collatz sequence we can show there are contradiction. In addition to this we investigate Qodaa ratio test that validates the reality of discovered behavior of Collatz sequence and works for infinite and distinct Kaakuma sequences. Our investigation culminates in the formulation of a set of conjectures encompassing lemmas and postulates, which we rigorously prove using a combination of analytical reasoning, numerical evidence, and exhaustive case analysis. These results provide compelling evidence for the veracity of the Collatz Conjecture and contribute to our understanding of the underlying mathematical structure. This proof helps to change some researchers' views on unsolved problems and offers new perspectives on probability in infinite range. In this study, we uncover the dynamic nature of the Collatz sequence and provide a reflection and interpretation of the probabilistic proof of the Collatz Conjecture.

Proving & Teaching Beal Conjecture

Authors: A. A. Frempong
Comments: 8 Pages. Copyright © by A. A. Frempong

By applying basic mathematical principles, the author surely, and instructionally, proves, directly, the original Beal conjecture which states that if A^x + B^y = C^z, where A, B, C, x, y, z are positive integers and x, y, z > 2, then A, B and C have a common prime factor. One will let r, s, and t be prime factors of A, B and C, respectively, such that A = Dr, B = Es, C = Ft, where D, E, and F are positive integers. Then, the equation A^x + B^y = C^z becomes D^xr^x + E^ys^y = F^zt^z. The proof would be complete after showing that the equalities, r^x = t^x, s^y = t^y and r = s = t, are true. More formally, the conjectured equality, r^x = t^x would be true if and only if (r^x /t^x) =1; and the conjectured equality s^y = t^y would be true if and only if (s^y/ t^y) = 1. These conjectures would be proved in the Beal conjecture proof. The main principle for obtaining relationships between the prime factors on the left side of the equation and the prime factor on the right side of the equation is that the power of each prime factor on the left side of the equation equals the same power of the prime factor on the right side of the equation. High school students can learn and prove this conjecture for a bonus question on a final class exam

The Collatz Conjecture, Pythagorean Triples, and the Riemann Hypothesis: Unveiling a Novel Connection Through Dropping Times

Authors: Darcy Thomas
Comments: 15 Pages.

In the landscape of mathematical inquiry, where the ancient and the modern intertwine, few problems captivate the imagination as profoundly as the Collatz conjecture and the quest for Pythagorean triples. The former, a puzzle that has defied solution since its inception in the 1930s by Lothar Collatz, asks us to consider a simple iterative process: for any positive integer, if it is even, divide it by two; if it is odd, triple it and add one. Despite its apparent simplicity, the conjecture leads us into a labyrinth of diverse complexity, where patterns emerge and dissolve in an unpredictable dance. On the other hand, Pythagorean triples, sets of three integers that satisfy the ancient Pythagorean theorem, have been a cornerstone of geometry since the time of the ancient Greeks, embodying the harmony of numbers and the elegance of spatial relationships. This exploratory paper embarks on an unprecedented journey to bridge these seemingly disparatedomains of mathematics. At the heart of this exploration is the discovery of a novel connection between Collatz dropping times and Pythagorean triples. I will demonstrate how the dropping time of each odd number can be uniquely associated with a Pythagorean triple. As you will see, the triples seem to be encoding spatial information about Collatz trajectories. As we begin to work with triples, we’ll be motivated to move from the number line to the complex plane where we find structure andbehavior resembling that of the Riemann Zeta function and it’s zeros.

Derivation|Correction of Hardy-Littlewood Twin Prime Constant using Prime Generator Theory (PGT)

Authors: Jabari Zakiya
Comments: 7 Pages. Corrected data value in Figure 2 for m = 11.

The Hardy—Littlewood twin prime constant is a metric to compute the distribution of twin primes. Using Prime Generator Theory (PGT) it is shown it is more easily mathematically and conceptually derived, and the correct value is a factor of 2 larger.

Riemann Hypothesis: Direct Demonstration Proposal

Authors: Vincent KOCH
Comments: 3 Pages.

In his 1859 article "On the number of prime numbers less than a given quantity", Bernhard Riemann formulated the hypothesis that all non-trivial zeros of the Zeta function have the real part 1/2.This assertion, known as the "Riemann Hypothesis", remains unproven to this day. The present paper is an attempt at a direct demonstration.

For $frac{1}{2}0$ and $ninmathbb{N}$, let $displaystyletheta_n(x+iy)=sum_{i=1}^nfrac{{mbox{sgn}}, q_i}{q_i^{x+iy}}$,where $Q={q_1,q_2,q_3,cdots}$ is the set of finite product of distinct odd primes and${mbox{sgn}}, q=(-1)^k$ if $q$ is the product of $k$ distinct primes.In this paper we prove that there exists an ordering on $Q$ such that $theta_n(x+iy)$ has a convergent subsequence.

Goldbach's Number Construction

Authors: Radomir Majkic
Comments: 7 Pages.

The internal structure of the natural numbers reveals the relation between the weak and the strong Goldbach's conjectures. The three prime integers structure of the odd integers alreadycontains the two prime integers base of the even integers. An explicit one-to-one correspondence between these two structures, defined asGoldbach's numbers exist. Thus, if the weak Goldbach's conjecture is true, the strong Goldbach'sconjecture should be. Hopefully, this will bring a happy end to Goldbach'sconjecture problem.

Complete Operations

Authors: Pith Peishu Xie
Comments: 27 Pages.

The Operator axioms have produced complete operations with real operators. Numerical computations have been constructed for complete operations. The classic calculator could only execute 7 operator operations: + operator operation(addition), - operator operation(subtraction), $times$ operator operation(multiplication), $div$ operator operation(division), ^{} operator operation(exponentiation), $surd$ operator operation(root extraction), log operator operation(logarithm). In this paper, we invent a complete calculator as a software calculator to execute complete operations. The experiments on the complete calculator could directly prove such a corollary: Operator axioms are consistent.

Proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem for Odd Primes

Authors: Minho Baek
Comments: 27 Pages.

It was already proved right that xn+yn=zn, (n>2) has no solutions in positive integers which we called Fermat’s Last Theorem (FLT) by Andrew Wiles. But his proof would be impossible in the 17th century. Since Fermat showed he proved n=even by leaving proof for n=4, many people have tried to prove the odd primes. I took the idea from Euler proof and proved in case of n=odd primes by simple method.

New Bounds on Mertens Function

Authors: Juan Moreno Borrallo
Comments: 6 Pages.

In this brief paper we study and bound Mertens function. The main breakthrough is the obtention of a Möbius-invertible formulation of Mertens function, which with some transformations and the application of a generalization of Möbius inversion formula, allows us to reach an asymptotic rate of growth of Mertens function that proves the Riemann Hypothesis.

Riemann Hypothesis

Authors: Bertrand Wong
Comments: 14 Pages.

This paper discusses the distribution of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function ζ. It looks into the question of whether any non-trivial zeros would ever possibly be found off the critical line Re(s) = 1/2 on the critical strip between Re(s) = 0 and Re(s) = 1, e.g., at Re(s) = 1/4, 1/3, 3/4, 4/5, etc., and why all the non-trivial zeros are always found at the critical line Re(s) = 1/2 on the critical strip between Re(s) = 0 and Re(s) = 1 and not anywhere else on this critical strip, with the first 1013 non-trivial zeros having been found only at the critical line Re(s) = 1/2. It should be noted that a conjecture, or, hypothesis could possibly be proved by comparing it with a theorem that has been proven, which is one of the several deductions utilized in this paper. Through these several deductions presented, the paper shows how the Riemann hypothesis may be approached to arrive at a solution. In the paper, instead of merely using estimates of integrals and sums (which are imprecise and may therefore be of little or no reliability) in the support of arguments, where feasible actual computations and precise numerical facts are used to support arguments, for precision, for more sharpness in the arguments, and for "checkability" or ascertaining of the conclusions.

Proof of the Collatz Conjecture

Authors: Wiroj Homsup, Nathawut Homsup
Comments: 9 Pages.

The Collatz conjecture considers recursively sequences of positive integers where n is succeeded by n/2 , if n is even, or (3n+1)/2 , if n is odd. The conjecture states that for all starting values n the sequence eventually reaches the trivial cycle 1, 2, 1, 2u2026u2026The inverted Collatz sequences can be represented as a tree with 1 as its root node. In order to prove the Collatz conjecture, one must demonstrate that the tree covers all positive integers. In this paper, we construct a Collatz tree with 1 as its root node by connecting infinite number of basic trees. Each basic tree relates to each positive integers. We prove that a Collatz tree is a connected tree and covers all positive integers.

There are known to exist a number of (multiplicative) cyclic numbers, but in this paper I introduce what appears to be a new kind of number, which we call divisible cyclic numbers (DCNs), examine some of their properties and give a proof of their cyclic property. It seems remarkable that I can find no reference to them anywhere. Given their simplicity, it would be extraordinary if they were hitherto unknown.

On the Incompletely Predictable Problems of Riemann Hypothesis, Modified Polignac's and Twin Prime Conjectures

Authors: John Yuk Ching Ting
Comments: 82 Pages. Now incorporating Hodge conjecture, Grothendieck period conjecture and Pi-Circle conjecture

We validly ignore even prime number 2. Based on all arbitrarily large number of even prime gaps 2, 4, 6, 8, 10...; the complete set and its derived subsets of Odd Primes fully comply with Prime number theorem for Arithmetic Progressions. With this condition being satisfied by all Odd Primes, we argue that Modified Polignac's and Twin prime conjectures are proven to be true when these conjectures are treated as Incompletely Predictable Problems. In so doing [and with Riemann hypothesis being a special case], this action also support the generalized Riemann hypothesis formulated for Dirichlet L-function. By broadly applying Hodge conjecture, Grothendieck period conjecture and Pi-Circle conjecture to Dirichlet eta function (which acts as proxy function for Riemann zeta function), Riemann hypothesis is separately proven to be true when this hypothesis is treated as Incompletely Predictable Problem.

Collatz Conjecture Proved Ingeniously & Very Simply

Authors: A. A. Frempong
Comments: 12 Pages. Copyright © by A. A. Frempong

Collatz conjecture states that beginning with a positive integer, if one repeatedly performs the following operations to form a sequence of integers, the sequence will eventually reach the integer one; the operations being that if the integer is even, divide it by 2, but if the integer is odd, multiply it by 3 and add one; and also, use the result of each step as the input for the next step One would note the patterns of the sequence terms as the Collatz process reaches the equivalent powers, 2^(2k) (k = 2, 3,...) and the sequence reaches the integer 1 by repeated division by 2. Two main cases are covered. In Case 1, the integer can be written as a power of 2 as 2^(k) (k=1,2,3,u2026), and in this case, the sequence would reach the integer one by repeated division by 2, i.e., 2^(k-1), 2^(k-2), 2^(k-3,),u2026,2^(k-k). In Case 2, the integer cannot be written as a power of 2, but the sequence terms reach the equivalent power, 2^(2k) (k = 2, 3,...) and by repeated division by 2, the sequence will reach the integer 1. In Case 2, when the sequence terms reach some particular integers such as 5, 21 and 85, the application of 3n + 1 to these integers will result in the powers, 2^(2k). One would call these integers, the 2k-power converters. There are infinitely many 2k-power converters as there are 2^(2k) powers. There are infinitely many paths for converting integers to 2^(2k) powers. Of these paths, the integer 5-path, is the nearest 2^(2k) converter path to the integer 1 on the 2^(2k)-route. Other integers can follow the integer 5-path to 16 as follows: Let n be an integer whose sequence terms would reach 16, and let n ± r = 5, where r is the net change in the sequence terms before the integer 5; and one uses the positive sign if n<5, but the negative sign if n > 5. One will call the following, the 5-path 2k-converter formula: 3(n ± r) + 1 = 16. By the substitution axiom, using this formula, the sequence of every positive integer that cannot be written as a power of 2, would reach the integer, 16, and continue to reach the integer 1. Therefore, the sequence of every positive integer would reach the integer 1.

To prove Collatz conjecture, one would apply a systematic observation of the sequences produced by the (3n + 1)/2 process, Two main cases are covered. In Case 1, the integer can be written as a power of 2 as 2^(k) (k = 1, 2, 3,u2026), and the sequence would reach the integer 1 by repeated division by 2, In Case 2, the integer cannot be written as a power of 2, but the sequence terms of the integers reach integers equivalent to 2^(2k) (k = 2, 3,...),and by repeated division by 2, the sequences would reach the integer 1. In Case 2, when the sequence terms reach some particular odd integers such as 5, 21 and 85, the application of 3n +1 operation to these integers will result in the integers equivalent to the powers, 2^(2k) (k = 2, 3, 4,u2026). One would call these integers, the 2k-power converters. A term of the sequence must be converted to an integer equivalent to 2^(2k) (k = 2, 3, 4,u2026). There are infinitely many paths for converting integers to 2^(2k) powers on the 2^(2k)-route, a route on which a 2^(2k)-power can be divided repeatedly by 2 until the sequence reaches the integer 1. Of these conversion paths, the integer 5-path is the nearest 2^(2k) (k=2) converter path to the integer 1 on the 2^(2k)-route. Other paths to the 2^(2k)-route include the 21-path, (k = 3), the 85-path (k = 4), and infinitely, many paths. For the 5-path, when a sequence terms reach the integer, 5, the next term would be 16. Similarly, for the integers 21, and 85, the next terms, respectively, would be 64 and 256. Some non-2k power converters can follow the integer 5-path to the to 2^(4) power. The integers 2^(p)(5) (p = 1, 2, 3,u2026) will take the integer 5-path to convert to a 2k-power. The integers, 2^(p)(21), 2^(p)(85) with (p = 1, 2, 3,u2026), will take, respectively, the integer 21-path, and the 85-path, to reach 2k-powers. There are infinitely many 2^(2k)-power converters, 2k-powers, 2k-power converter paths, and descendants, 2^(p)(C) (p = 1, 2, 3,u2026) of C, By repeated division by 2, the sequence of every positive integer that reaches the equivalent integer, 2^(2k), would reach the integer 1, Therefore, using the approaches in Cases 1 and 2, the sequence of every positive integer would eventually reach the integer 1.

Nuanced Truth of Collatz Conjecture

Authors: Pierre Lamothe
Comments: 15 Pages. In French

The algebra of transition functions between elements of generalized Collatz sequences has revealed the true nature of cycles. The structure of the cyclic invariant enables us to demonstrate both:
a) The Syracuse conjecture cannot be substantiated as absolute veracity because no matter the length, a random cycle is theoretically possible.
b) The Syracuse conjecture can only hold true in practice with exceedingly probable status due to the exponential decay of a cycle’s probability as a function of length.

The Geometric Collatz Correspondence

Authors: Darcy Thomas
Comments: 28 Pages. This is a final, and more complete, version of the paper. It is better categorized number theory.

The Collatz Conjecture, one of the most renowned unsolved problems in mathematics, presents adeceptive simplicity that has perplexed both experts and novices. Distinctive in nature, it leaves manyunsure of how to approach its analysis. My exploration into this enigma has unveiled two compellingconnections: firstly, a link between Collatz orbits and Pythagorean Triples; secondly, a tie to theproblem of tiling a 2D plane. This latter association suggests a potential relationship with PenroseTilings, which are notable for their non-repetitive plane tiling. This quality, reminiscent of theunpredictable yet non-repeating trajectories of Collatz sequences, provides a novel avenue to probethe conjecture’s complexities. To clarify these connections, I introduce a framework that interpretsthe Collatz Function as a process that maps each integer to a unique point on the complex plane.In a curious twist, my exploration into the 3D geometric interpretation of the Collatz Function has nudged open a small, yet intriguing door to a potential parallel in the world of physics. A subtle link appears to manifest between the properties of certain objects in this space and the atomic energy spectral series of hydrogen, a fundamental aspect in quantum mechanics. While this connection is in its early stages and the depth of its significance is yet to be fully unveiled, it subtly implies a simple merging where pure mathematics and applied physics might come together.The findings in this paper have led me to pursue development of a new type of number I call a Cam number, which stands for "complex and massive", indicating that it is a number with properties that on one hand act like a scalar, but on the other hand act as a complex number. Cam numbers can be thought of as having somewhat dual identities which reveal their properties and behavior under iterations of the Collatz Function. This paper serves as a motivator for a pursuit of a theory of Cam numbers.
