Polignac's Conjecture with New Prime Number Theorem

Dirichlet Prime Number Theorem

In number theory, the prime number theory describes the asymptotic distribution of prime numbers. We all know that there are infinitely many primes,but how are they distributed? Dirichlet’s theorem states that for any two positive coprime integers a and d, there are infinitely many primes which are congruent to a modulo d. A stronger form of Dirichlet’s theorem states that the sum of the recipr...

The Prime Number Theorem

The Prime Number Theorem asserts that the number of primes less than or equal to x is approximately equal to x log x for large values of x (here and for the rest of these notes, log denotes the natural logarithm). This quantitative statement about the distribution of primes which was conjectured by several mathematicians (including Gauss) early in the nineteenth century, and was finally proved ...

Prime Number Generation Based On Pocklington's Theorem

Public-key cryptosystems base their security on well-known number-theoretic problems, such as factorisation of a given number n. Hence, prime number generation is an absolute requirement. Many prime number generation techniques have been proposed up-to-date, which differ mainly in terms of complexity, certainty and speed. Pocklington’s theorem, if implemented, can guarantee the generation of a ...
