Some equations similar to Goormaghtigh problem

There are counter-examples to all three claims in the question above, so none of the claims are correct. 1- A counter example is {x,n,y,m,t}={2,5,5,3,31} as was indicated in a comment above. Another …

Why does not a zeta zero counting function $N_0(T)$ behave exactly in a neighborhood that al...

Mathematica does not perform the correct analytic extension of $\arg(\zeta(\frac12+i T))$ which I discovered through the related question at https://math.stackexchange.com/q/4037391 and the answer pos …

An evaluation of the second Chebyshev function

For $$\psi(x)=\sum\limits_{n=1}^x \Lambda(n)$$ and $$T(x)=\sum\limits_{n=1}^x \log(n)$$ one has $$\psi(x)=\sum\limits_{n=1}^x \mu(n)\, T\left(\frac{x}{n}\right)$$ and $$T(x)=\sum _{n=1}^x \psi \left(\ …

Does this partial sum over primes spike at all zeta zeros?

This is not a complete answer but hopefully provides some insight. The function $$\exp\left(-\sum\limits_{p\le x},\frac{\cos(x\, \log(p))}{\sqrt{p}}\right)\tag{1}$$ seems to approximate $$\left|\frac …

If $\zeta(s)=0$ with $\Re(s)=\frac{1}{2}$, is then $|\hat{\zeta}(s,3)|^2=\frac{1}{2}$?

The intent of this post is to share some results as requested in the comments above and assumes the following definitions from the original question above. (1) $\quad\zeta(s)=\underset{N\to\infty}{ …

The graph and sign of $p_n-\operatorname{ali}(n)$, where $p_n$ is the $n$-th prime and $\ope...

Here's a discrete plot of $p_n-ali(n)$ for $0<n\le 10^9$ in steps of $\Delta n=10^6$ where $ali(n)$ is computed to the nearest $\frac{1}{10}$ . I used the following Mathematica code to compute $a …

Solving a recurrence relation for the prime counting function?

Consider the following fairly simple Mathematica code Block[{a={a1},n=3}, While[n<=32, a=AppendTo[a,(PrimePi[n]-Sum[a[[k]] PrimePi[k],{k,1,n-2}])/PrimePi[n-1]]; n++]; a] which generates the fir …

Exact formula for partial sums of Liouville function $L(n)$ (OEIS sequence A002819)

$$\lambda(n)=(-1)^{\Omega(n)}=\sum\limits_{d^2|n}\mu\left(\frac{n}{d^2}\right)\tag{1}$$ $$L(x)=\sum\limits_{n\le x}\lambda(n)=\sum\limits_{n^2\le x} M\left(\frac{x}{n^2}\right)\tag{2}$$ where $$M(x)=\ …

"Squeezing" the primes?

This answer describes an alternate approach to "squeezing the primes" (more accurately prime-powers) based on my related Math Overflow question on the inverse Mellin transform $$p(x)=\mathcal{M}_s^{-1 …
