The Riemann Hypothesis: Decryption of a Mathematical Mystery

Authors: Mostafa Senhaji
Comments: 48 Pages.

The Riemann hypothesis is more than just a mathematical problem. It is an age-old enigma, a challenge to all those who dare to explore the depths of prime numbers. For more than 160 years, it has fascinated, intrigued, and resisted the attempts of the greatest minds. This document is the result of a passionate quest to elucidate this mystery. Here, each line traces a path through the complexities of the hypothesis, with the hope of shedding new light on this fundamental question. Whether you are an expert or simply curious to discover one of the greatest mysteries of the mathematical universe, I invite you to dive into this intellectual adventure. Together, let's explore the elegance hidden behind the formulas and perhaps get closer to the truth.

Proof of the Binary Goldbach Conjecture

Authors: Philippe Sainty
Comments: 19 Pages.

In this paper, the proof of the binary Goldbach conjecture is established (Any integer strictly greater than one is the mean arithmetic of two primes) . To this end, a "local" algorithm is determined for the construction of two recurrent sequences of primes ( ) and ( ), (( ) dependent of ( ) ) such that for each integer n their sum is equal to 2n . To form this a third sequence of primes ( ) is defined for any integer n by = Sup ( p ∈ : p ≤ 2n - 3 ) where is the infinite set of primes. The Goldbach conjecture has been proved for all even integers 2n between 4 and 4. In the table of terms of Goldbach sequences given in appendix 10 values of the order of 2n = are reached. This "finite ascent and descent" method proves the binary Goldbach conjecture. An analogous proof by recurrence and "shifts" of arithmetic sequences with infinitely many primes = -2k + 2n - r - 3 (k, r bounded integers by constructing the G2n sequence and the U2n frames)is established, (parameterizations of sequences U2n and V2n). The situation can be visualized graphically by plotting the straight lines with equations Dr : y = 2x + 3 + r and D'r with equations D'r : y = - 2x - 3 + 2n - r , so that two points representing primes on these straight lines are on the same vertical line, by translating the straight line Dr and D'r along (Oy),(«The primes-points move horizontally by an integer value of r or -r ») or equivalently, by choosing the parameter «r « judiciously which is always possible. (In a Lemma xx to define and elaborate).Then, an increase in by 0.7( is justified. Moreover, the Lagrange-Lemoine-Levy conjecture and its generalization, the Bezout-Goldbach conjecture are proven by the same type of procedure.

Study on Goldbach Prime Pairs and Its Distribution for Integers of Form 2(n+1)^2

Authors: Imran Ansari
Comments: 40 Pages.

In this article, study related to the distribution of the Goldbach prime pairs for the even integers of form $ 2(n+1)^{2} $ has been carried out with the help of other conjectures(/postulate), that is, Legendre's conjecture and Bertrand's postulate. From the obtained results, various possible conjectures have been proposed/suggested. In brief, first the term, Goldbach first prime pair ($ p_{f},p'_{f} $) was defined and for ascertaining the interval in which Goldbach first prime pair would always be present for all the values of $ 2(n+1)^{2} $, where, $ n =1,2,3,..., $ was suggested. The proposed conjectures on distribution were tested for all values of $ n = 1,2,3,...,1,000,000 $ using algorithm. The expression, $ (n)(n+1) < p_{f} < (n+1)^{2} < p'_{f} < 2(n+1)^{2} - n(n+1) $ showed that, the Goldbach first prime pair would always existing for all the $n$ values, where, $ n = 1,2,3,...- $ ${4,6,10,16,19,21,22,23,30,33,36,43,48,49,56, 57,61,66,72, 76,81,106, 117,127,130, 132,141,210,276,289,333,418}.$ The expression, $ (n)^{2} < p_{f} < (n+1)^{2} < p'_{f} < 2(n+1)^{2} - (n)^{2} $ showed that, the Goldbach first prime pairs would always existing for all the $n$ values, where, $ n = 1,2,3,... - {21,23,30,33,36,48,49,117,141}. $ While, for the expression, $ (n)(n-1) < p_{f} < (n+1)^{2} < p'_{f} < 2(n+1)^{2} - (n)(n-1) $, were true for all the $ n = 1,2,3,...$, values. Another observation was found that, in the proposed conjecture 1, the gap between Goldbach first prime pair, that is, ($ p'_{f} - p_{f} $) was found to be always less than its corresponding $ n $ value after $ n=2538 $, hence, Gap($ p'_{f} - p_{f} $) $ << $ $ n $, where, $ n=2539,2540,2541,...$.

Formal Proof of Collatz’s Conjecture

Authors: Mostafa Senhaji
Comments: 12 Pages. In French (Note by viXra Admin: Title and abstract should be in English and no carton/graphics whould be used as part of the headings!))

The Collatz Conjecture, also known as the Syracuse Problem, presents an intriguing challenge in mathematics, stating that for any sequence of positive integers defined by a specific transformation, the sequence always eventually joins the trivial cycle (4.2 ,1). This phenomenon, which seems anecdotal at first glance, is based on fundamental principles of number theory and the dynamics of sequences. This article aims to provide a rigorous proof of the conjecture using a methodical and academic approach, structured around several key axes: 1. Recursion Analysis: We develop a robust recurrence framework to demonstrate that any sequence, under the Collatz transformation rule, converges to the cycle (4,2,1). This framework is based on the systematic observation of the terms of the sequence and their behavior under the repeated application of the rule. 2.Framing of the Terms of the Sequence: The in-depth study of the framing of the terms of the sequence allows us to quantify the tendency towards convergence. By providing precise upper and lower bounds, we illustrate how the terms gradually approach the trivial cycle. 3.Analysis of Behaviors Under Transformation: We analyze the dynamic behaviors of the sequences when they are subjected to the transformation defined by the conjecture. This analysis highlights the underlying regularities and structures that promote convergence. By reintegrating these elements into a rigorous framework, we precisely affirm that the Collatz conjecture is indeed valid for the set of positive integers. This proof not only enriches our understanding of the conjecture but also of the dynamic mechanisms underlying iterative sequences in number theory.

Since the Syracuse problem has remained unsolved for 80 years, it is possible that it is formally unsolvable. This text offers an « approximate » proof. Using the concepts of inverse graph and an original logical trick (the axis of verified integers), the Collatz conjecture is progressively verified, although no definitive conclusion is reached. Other approaches can build upon the ideas presented in this text to achieve an even more accurate approximation. The text is in French, and an English version is expected to be completed within two months.

The Proof of the Fermar's Last Theorem, Mersenne's Prime Conjecture and Poincare Conjecture in Euclidean Geomertry

Authors: Liao Teng
Comments: 14 pages

In order to strictly prove from the point of view of pure mathematics Goldbach's 1742 Goldbach conjecture and Hilbert's twinned prime conjecture in question 8 of his report to the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1900, and the French scholar Alfond de Polignac's 1849 Polignac conjecture, By using Euclid's principle of infinite primes, equivalent transformation principle, and the idea of normalization of set element operation, this paper proves that Goldbach's conjecture, twin primes conjecture and Polignac conjecture are completely correct. In order to strictly prove a conjecture about the solution of positive integers of indefinite equations proposed by French scholar Ferma around 1637 (usually called Ferma's last theorem) from the perspective of pure mathematics, this paper uses the general solution principle of functional equations and the idea of symmetric substitution, as well as the inverse method. It proves that Fermar's last theorem is completely correct.

Notable result is that with the definition of " non standard rearrangement " the commutative property of addition continues to hold even for simply convergent series (such as harmonic series with alternate signs). Moreover the author, by means of the new formula of ζ*(s) and the corresponding functional equation, gives a proof of the Riemann hypothesis.

Constraining Method of Control Input Acceleration by Using MPC

Authors: Kim Yong Nam, Choe Song Byok, Ri Kyong Hyok, Choe Jong Hyok
Comments: 13 Pages.

If we account the constraints on the incremental acceleration as well as the incremental rate of the control input in the control system, the physical limit of the actuator can be considered and the stress of the system can be reduced.This paper deals with the design of the model predictive controller with the constraint on the incremental acceleration of the control input. The discrete time state space model of the plant is extended to the augmented model which has the incremental acceleration of the control input as the new input. The quadratic cost function, which is based on the control error and the incremental acceleration of the control input, is adopted. Constraints on the plant output, the control input, its incremental rate and acceleration are accounted. This constrained MPC problem can be solved by the quadratic programming procedure.To select the reasonable sampling period and prediction horizon, the lower bound of the settling time is derived for the proposed MPC system. Numerical examples illustrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Power-spectral Numbers

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

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

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.

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)]

Sixth Degree Diophantine Polynomial Equation

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.

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

Authors: John Yuk Ching Ting
Comments: 54 Pages. Generalized Riemann hypothesis, Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, Polignac's and Twin prime conjecture submitted Wednesday 8 November 2023.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

On Prime Cycles in Directed Graphs Built with Primality Test

Authors: Marcin Barylski
Comments: 4 Pages.

One of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics is Collatz conjecture which is claiming that all positve numbers subjected to simple 3x + 1/2 formula will eventually result in 1, with only one known cycle (1, 4, 2, 1) present in the calculations. This work is devoted to finding cycles in other interesting sequences of integer numbers, constructed with the use of some aspect of primality test.

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.

Discover a Proof of Goldbach’s Conjecture

This paper presents a new proof of the Goldbach conjecture, which is a well-known problem originating from number theory that was proposedby Christian Goldbach back in 1742. Our way gives a simple but deep understanding of the even integers can be written as the sum of two prime numbers Through examining fully we show that every other even integer larger than two will essentially represent itself in form adding up two prime numbers. The revelation of a straightforward and elegant line to this enduring conjecture comes from the use of basic number theory concepts such as; by going a step further and coming up with creative strategies. There is more evidence and sound payments she makes for her assertion as we continue.The centuries-old mathematical puzzle has been solved paving way for the exploration of new possibilities in number theory and we are grateful for the perspective and the persistence accorded us by God, which enabled us to reach this milestone.

A New Approach to the Goldbach Conjecture

Authors: Jim Rock
Comments: 2 Pages.

In 1742 Christian Goldbach suggested that any even number four or greater is the sum of two primes.The Goldbach conjecture remains unproven to the present day, although it has been verified for all even numbers up to 4 × 10^18. Previously this problem has been attacked using deep analytical methods and with complicated integer sieves. 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.

Applying Infinitesimals to Outputs from Sieve of Eratosthenes and Riemann Zeta Function When Treated as Infinite Series

Authors: John Yuk Ching Ting
Comments: 31 Pages.

We treat Sieve of Eratosthenes (algorithm that generates all prime numbers) and Dirichlet eta function (proxy function for Riemann zeta function that generates all nontrivial zeros) as infinite series. We apply infinitesimals to their outputs. We ignore even prime number 2. 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.

Authors: Zhiyang Zhang

This paper classifies non trivial zeros based on the Riemann Zeta function. Through this operation, we can clearly understand the distribution pattern of non trivial zeros and predict the position of the next zero point. You can know that the Riemann hypothesis has three types of non trivial zeros, and the first type of non trivial zeros is located on the critical line, while the second and third types of zeros are not. Meanwhile, through a series of equation derivations, we can also understand why it is so difficult to find counterexamples of the Riemann hypothesis.

A Proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem by Relating to Two Polynomial Identity Conditions

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 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.

The Distribution of Prime Numbers ≥ 5 Within Sequences of Natural Numbers

Authors: Adrian M. Stokes
Comments: 11 Pages.

The prime numbers ≥ 5 within a finite sequence of natural numbers can be found arithmetically by calculating all of the values of 6n-1 and 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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Division by Zero is Incoherent and Contradictory

Authors: Paul Ernest
Comments: 3 Pages.

A number of authors have claimed that Division by Zero and in particular the Division of Zero by Zero (0/0) can be computed and has a definite value (Mwang 2018, Saitoh & Saitoh 2024). I refute these claims. 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

Authors: Janko Kokošar
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.

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.

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

Cracking the Collatz Code: a Journey from Conjecture to Certainty Through Infinity

Authors: Eric Lough
Comments: 7 Pages.

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.

The Magic of Mirror Composite Numbers

Authors: Emilio Sánchez, Óscar E. Chamizo
Comments: 6 Pages.

In this paper, continuation and completion of some previous researches, we fully develop the new concept of mirror composite numbers. Mirror composite numbers are composite numbers of the form 2n-p for some n natural number and p prime. We shall show that the factorization of these numbers have interesting properties in order to face the Goldbach conjecture [2][3] by the divide et impera method.

Elliptic Curve

The first version of this handbook was a set of notes of about 100 pages handed out to the class of an introductory course on elliptic curves given in the 1990 fall semester at McGill University in Montreal. Since then I haveadded to the notes, holding to the principle: If I look up a certain topic a year from now I want all the details right at hand, not in an "exercise", so if I’ve forgotten something I won’t waste time. Thus there is much that anordinary text would either condense, or relegate to an exercise. But at the same time I have maintained a solid mathematical style with the thought of sharing the handbook.

Fermat's Last Theorem for Odd Primes

Authors: Minho Baek
Comments: 26 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 odd primes. I took the idea from Euler proof and proved in case of n=odd primes by simple method.

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 $P (L_n^{(k)} ) > (1/86) log log n$. Furthermore, we determine all the $k$--generalized Lucas numbers $L_n^{(k)}$ whose largest prime factor is at most $ 7$.

Goldbach Prime Pairs and Its Distribution for Integers of Form 2(n+1)^{2}

Authors: Imran Ansari
Comments: 40 Pages.

In this article, study related to the distribution of the Goldbach prime pairs for the even integers of form 2(n+1)^{2} has been carried out with the help of other conjectures(/postulate), that is, Legendre's conjecture and Bertrand's postulate. From the obtained results, various possible conjectures have been proposed/suggested. In brief, first the term, Goldbach first prime pair (p_{f},p'_{f}) was defined and for ascertaining the interval in which Goldbach first prime pair would always be present for all the values of 2(n+1)^{2}, where, n =1,2,3,..., was suggested. The proposed conjectures on distribution were tested for all values of n = 1,2,3,...,1,000,000 using algorithm. The expression, (n)(n+1) < p_{f} < (n+1)^{2} < p'_{f} < 2(n+1)^{2} - n(n+1) showed that, the Goldbach first prime pair would always existing for all the n values, where, n = 1,2,3,...- {4,6,10,16,19,21,22,23,30,33,36,43,48,49,56, 57,61,66,72, 76,81,106, 117,127,130, 132,141,210,276,289,333,418}. The expression, (n)^{2} < p_{f} < (n+1)^{2} < p'_{f} < 2(n+1)^{2} - (n)^{2} showed that, the Goldbach first prime pairs would always existing for all the n values, where, n = 1,2,3,... - {21,23,30,33,36,48,49,117,141}. While, for the expression, (n)(n-1) < p_{f} < (n+1)^{2} < p'_{f} < 2(n+1)^{2} - (n)(n-1), were true for all the n = 1,2,3,..., values. Another observation was found that, in the proposed conjecture 1, the gap between Goldbach first prime pair, that is, (p'_{f} - p_{f}) was found to be always less than its corresponding n value after n=2538 , hence, Gap(p'_{f} - p_{f}) << n, where, n=2539,2540,2541,....

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.

We analyze L-functions of elliptic curves (and apply Sign normalization) which support simplest version of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture to be true. 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. 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

Authors: Bryce Petofi Towne
Comments: 19 Pages.

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.

A Convergent Subsequence of $theta_n(x+iy)$ in a Half Strip

Authors: Young Deuk Kim
Comments: 8 Pages. Typos are fixed.

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.
