Prime-representing Functions
We construct prime-representing functions. In particular we show that there exist real numbers α > 1 such that ⌊ α n⌋ is prime for all n ∈ N. Indeed the set consisting of such numbers α has the cardinality of the continuum.
متن کاملRepresenting numbers: prime and irrational
This article draws an analogy between prime and irrational numbers with respect to how these numbers are defined and how they are perceived by learners. Excerpts are presented from two research studies: a study on understanding prime numbers by pre-service elementary school teachers and a study on understanding irrational numbers by pre-service secondary school teachers. Considering the results...
متن کاملPrime Entire Functions
Factorizations of various functions are discussed. Complete factorizations of certain classes of functions are given. In particular it is shown that there exist primes of arbitrary growth.
متن کاملRepresenting Piecewise Functions in Mathematica ©
There are many ways of representing piecewise functions inMathematica c . We study three different methods. One is by using the function Piecewise. Another is by using a difference of two HeavisideTheta functions for each piece. And a third way is by using product to two HeavisideTheta functions for each piece. If efficiency in integration is a criterion, which of these is the best way to do so...
متن کاملRepresenting Contractive Functions on Streams
Streams, or infinite lists, have many applications in functional programming, and are naturally defined using recursive equations. But how do we ensure that such equations make sense, i.e. that they actually produce well-defined streams? In this article we present a new approach to this problem, based upon the topological notion of contractive functions on streams. In particular, we give a soun...
