Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around a proposed formula for generating prime numbers within the interval (q; (q+1)^2), where q is a prime number. The scope includes mathematical reasoning and exploration of prime number properties.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Victor Sorokine presents a formula involving products of prime numbers and their exponents, claiming it generates prime numbers in the specified interval.
  • Some participants express confusion regarding the clarity and coherence of Victor's explanation, suggesting it is difficult to understand.
  • One participant asserts that the observation about generating primes in these intervals is not new and can be proven to be trivial.
  • Another participant accuses Victor of promoting nonsensical mathematics, referencing previous discussions on related topics.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the validity or clarity of the proposed formula. Participants express differing views on its significance and comprehensibility, with some finding it trivial and others unable to understand it.

Contextual Notes

A formula of prime numbers for interval (q; (q+1)^2),
where q is prime number.

Let:
Q_k – the multitude of first k prime numbers to some extent:
Q_k = (q_0 = 1^0, q_1 = 2^n1, q_2 = 3^n2, q_3 = 5^n3, q_4 = 7^n4, … q_k = u^nk)
(here the expression «_i» signifies lower index, and «^ni» signifies exponent);
M_s – the product of s elements to his extent;
M_t – the product of the rest t = k – s elements.
And now
ALL numbers q = M_s – M_t ( q is function of the combination s and of the exponents n0, n1, … nk) in the interval (q_k ; (q_k)^2) [and in the interval (q_k ; (q_k+1)^2)] are PRIME
(let Q – the multitude of the q, where q_k < q < (q_k+1)^2).

Example:
Q_4 :
q_0 = 1^0, q_1 = 2^n1, q_2 = 3^n2, q_3 = 5^n3, q_4 = 7^n4.
Interval:
7 < q < 9^2 = 81 [< 121].

Q :
11 = 3 x 7 – 2 x 5,
13 = 2^2 x 7 – 3 x 5,
17 = 5 x 7 – 2 x 3^2,
19 = 7^2 – 2 x 3 x 5,
23 = 2 x 3 x 5 – 7,
29 = 5 x 7 – 2 x 3,
31 = 3^2 x 5 – 2 x 7,
37 = 2 x 3 x 7 – 5,
41 = 3 x 5 x 7 – 2^6,
43 = 2 x 5 x 7 – 3^3,
47 = 3 x 5^2 – 2^2 x 7,
53 = 3^2 x 7 – 2 x 5,
59 = 2^4 x 5 – 3 x 7,
61 = 3 x 5^2 – 2 x 7.
67 = 2^4 x 7– 3^2 x 5
71 = 2^3 x 3 x 5 – 7^2,
73 = 3 x 5 x 7 – 2^5,
79 = 2^2 x 3 x 7 – 5,
[and also:
83 = 5^3 – 2 x 3 x 7,
89 = 3 x 5 x 7 – 2^4,
97 = 3 x 5 x 7 – 2^3,
101 = 3 x 5 x 7 – 2^2,
103 = 3 x 5 x 7 – 2,
107 = 3^3 x 5 – 2^2 x 7,
109 = 3^3 x 7 – 2^4 x 5,
113 = 2^2 x 5 x 7 – 3^3,
And only further the formula makes a transient error:
2 x 3^2 x 7 – 5= 121 = 11 х 11.]
Here min(q) = 11.

But now we can write out the multitude
Q_5 :
q_0 = 1^0, q_1 = 2^n1, q_2 = 3^n2, q_3 = 5^n3, q_4 = 7^n4, q_5 = 11^n5
and calculate the prime number in interval
11 < q < 13^2 = 144.
Etc…

In the interval (q_k ; (q_k+1)^2) the formula don't give the composite numbers.

P.S. The fonction q_k+1 = F(q_k) will be done after the recognition of the proof FLT.
PP.S. Bewaring of aggressiveness some professional,
author does not take part in the discussion.

I'm a professional mathematician and, beyond this post, I have no intention of taking part in any discussion. I will merely say I have no idea if that is good or bad in your opinon since I cannot understand what your PP.S. means. This is however in keeping with the rest of your post which also makes no sense at all.
 
you are trying to start another discussion of nonsense mathematics like you did with flt... great. NOT
 
Victor: your text is impenetrable. I am unable to read most of it.

As for your observation, it isn't new, and it is fairly trivial to prove that in the specified intervals, such formulae can only give prime numbers.

We've had someone come through this very forum presenting this observation (in a readable way), and with an interesting follow-up question.
