Finding Chen's Paper: "On the Representation of a Large Even Integer

[FunkyDwarf]

Hi guys,

Not actually a mathematics question as such (sorry) but does anyone know where i can get my hands on a copy of Chen's paper "On the representation of a large even integer as the sum of a prime and the product of at most two primes". For the life of me all i can find is references to it rather than an actual pdf copy, or even any information about the journal it is from (Sci. Sinica 16 (1973) 157-176) ie reference given below.

I have access to science direct and springer link but none seem to have it :( Any ideas?

Cheers

EDIT: Ok so i found that its in Scientia Sinica Series A which springerlink has going back to 1997, I'm assuming if they don't have volumes further back they're not available electronically?

Right. You'd need to find a (university) library that had it.

Bugger, mine only has Series G. Righto, time to get on the wire and bug my 'colleagues' :)
Cheers!

Although not the original paper, the proof of Chen's theorem may be found in Melvyn Nathanson's book "Additive Number Theory, The Classical Bases", Springer, 1996, p. 271 ff., ISBN 0-387-94656-X.

Actually, that's a good book to read even if you do want to read the original...
