چکیده

We investigate conditions which ensure that systems of binomial polynomials with integer coefficients are simultaneously free of large prime factors. In particular, for each positive number ", we show that there are infinitely many strings of consecutive integers of size about n, free of prime factors exceeding n, with the length of the strings tending to infinity with speed log log log log n. 1991 Mathematics subject classification (Amer.

Large strings of consecutive smooth integers

In this note we improve an algorithm from a recent paper by Bauer and Bennett for computing a function of Erdös that measures the minimal gap size f(k) in the sequence of integers at least one of whose prime factors exceeds k. This allows us to compute values of f(k) for larger k and obtain new values of f(k).

Upper bounds on the solutions to n = p+m^2

ardy and Littlewood conjectured that every large integer $n$ that is not a square is the sum of a prime and a square. They believed that the number $mathcal{R}(n)$ of such representations for $n = p+m^2$ is asymptotically given by begin{equation*} mathcal{R}(n) sim frac{sqrt{n}}{log n}prod_{p=3}^{infty}left(1-frac{1}{p-1}left(frac{n}{p}right)right), end{equation*} where $p$ is a prime, $m$ is a...

1 . Sequences of positive integers with the consecutive integer property. Consider a sequence of k positive integers {ai} = a,, . . ., a k with the following properties : (i) ai < k for all i, (ü) (the consecutive integer property) There is an n such that ai is the quotient when n + i is cleared of all its prime factors greater than k . Or, for each prime p k, the pattern of that prime and its ...

On the Number of Prime Factors of a Finite

contributions to Catalan's classical problem to show that 8,9 is the only pair of consecutive positive integers which are both perfect powers. The work of Professor Ko and the related work by others show that there is just one mathematical world and that there are no borders in this world. For any positive integer n let P (n); !(n); (n) denote the greatest prime factor of n, the number of disti...
