7. Conjectures and theorems

‘Conjectures and theorems’ investigates a number of topics, such as the distribution of prime numbers, and two unsolved problems, Goldbach’s conjecture and the twin prime conjecture. The factorization of positive integers into primes is unique, but this does not hold for certain other systems of numbers. A more in-depth look at unique factorization gives deeper results, including a proposed result of Gauss. Mathematicians in the 1950s and 1960s confirmed that he was correct, as shown in the so-called ‘Baker-Heegner-Stark theorem’.

Although the magic square is a historical and universal study, its progress has been limited, to numeric games, which is closer to digital games or word games, and lacks the connection with mainstream mathematics. Recently, its study has extended from exciting mathematical games to various novel applications, such as image encryption, decryption processing, watermarking solutions, and student group learning problems, or different engineering applications. In terms of employment in information security, it is the blue ocean that requires more innovative research to enrich its content. In this study, we engage the magic square and Goldbach’s Conjecture to develop an innovative method to search prime numbers

The factorial-additive optimality of primes, i.e., that the sum of prime factors is always minimum, implies that prime numbers are a solution to an integer linear programming (ILP) encoding optimization problem. The summative optimality of primes follows from Goldbach’s conjecture, and is viewed as an upper efficiency limit for encoding any integer with the fewest possible additions. A consequence of the above is that primes optimally encode—multiplicatively and additively—all integers. Thus, the set P of primes is the unique, irreducible subset of ℤ—in cardinality and values—that optimally encodes all numbers in ℤ, in a factorial and summative sense. Based on these dual irreducibility/optimality properties of P, we conclude that primes are characterized by a universal “quantum type” encoding optimality that also extends to non-integers.

A method based on circle logarithm to prove Goldbach’s conjecture and Pebonacci sequence is proposed. Its essence is to deal with the real infinite series, each of the finite three elements (prime numbers, number series) has asymmetry problems, forming a basic even function one-variable quadratic equation and odd function one-variable three-dimensional number sequence; it is converted to "The irrelevant mathematical model expands latently in a closed interval of 0 to 1," forming a five-dimensional vortex space structure.

Goldbach’s Conjecture states that every even number greater than 3, can be written as a summation of two prime numbers. This conjecture is roughly 300 years old and a very famous unsolved mathematics problem. To prove the Goldbach’s Conjecture, I use the contradiction method in mathematics as below.

The power graph [Formula: see text] of a given finite group [Formula: see text] is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the elements of [Formula: see text], in which two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if one of them can be obtained as an integral power of the other. The vertex connectivity [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is the minimum number of vertices which need to be removed from [Formula: see text] so that the induced subgraph of [Formula: see text] on the remaining vertices is disconnected or has only one vertex. For a positive integer [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the cyclic group of order [Formula: see text]. Suppose that the prime power decomposition of [Formula: see text] is given by [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] are positive integers and [Formula: see text] are prime numbers with [Formula: see text]. The vertex connectivity [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is known for [Formula: see text], see [Panda and Krishna, On connectedness of power graphs of finite groups, J. Algebra Appl. 17(10) (2018) 1850184, 20 pp, Chattopadhyay, Patra and Sahoo, Vertex connectivity of the power graph of a finite cyclic group, to appear in Discr. Appl. Math., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dam.2018.06.001]. In this paper, for [Formula: see text], we give a new upper bound for [Formula: see text] and determine [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text]. We also determine [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is a product of distinct prime numbers.

The mathematics of juggling emerged after the development of siteswap notation in the 1980s. Consequently, much work was done to establish a mathematical theory that describes and enumerates the patterns that a juggler can (or would want to) execute. More recently, mathematicians have provided a broader picture of juggling sequences as an infinite set possessing properties similar to the set of positive integers. This theoretical framework moves beyond the physical possibilities of juggling and instead seeks more general mathematical results, such as an enumeration of juggling patterns with a fixed period and arbitrary number of balls. One problem unresolved until now is the enumeration of primitive juggling sequences, those fundamental juggling patterns that are analogous to the set of prime numbers. By applying analytic techniques to previously-known generating functions, we give asymptotic counting theorems for primitive juggling sequences, much as the prime number theorem gives asymptotic counts for the prime positive integers.
