چکیده

Let pn denote the nth prime. The prime number graph is the set of lattice points (n, pn), n = 1, 2.We show that for every k there are k such points that are collinear. By considering the convex hull of the prime number graph, we show that there are infinitely many n such that 2pn < pn_¡ + Pn+Ifor all positive i < n. By a similar argument, we show that there are infinitely many n for which pn > pn-ipn+i for a" positive ' < ", thus verifying a conjecture of Selfridge. We make some new conjectures.

Recognition by prime graph of the almost simple group PGL(2, 25)

Throughout this paper, every groups are finite. The prime graph of a group $G$ is denoted by $Gamma(G)$. Also $G$ is called recognizable by prime graph if for every finite group $H$ with $Gamma(H) = Gamma(G)$, we conclude that $Gcong H$. Until now, it is proved that if $k$ is an odd number and $p$ is an odd prime number, then $PGL(2,p^k)$ is recognizable by prime graph. So if $k$ is even, the r...

$4$-Total prime cordial labeling of some cycle related graphs

Let $G$ be a $(p,q)$ graph. Let $f:V(G)to{1,2, ldots, k}$ be a map where $k in mathbb{N}$ and $k>1$. For each edge $uv$, assign the label $gcd(f(u),f(v))$. $f$ is called $k$-Total prime cordial labeling of $G$ if $left|t_{f}(i)-t_{f}(j)right|leq 1$, $i,j in {1,2, cdots,k}$ where $t_{f}(x)$ denotes the total number of vertices and the edges labelled with $x$. A graph with a $k$-total prime cordi...

4-Prime cordiality of some classes of graphs

Let G be a (p, q) graph. Let f : V (G) → {1, 2, . . . , k} be a map. For each edge uv, assign the label gcd (f(u), f(v)). f is called k-prime cordial labeling of G if |vf (i) − vf (j)| ≤ 1, i, j ∈ {1, 2, . . . , k} and |ef (0) − ef (1)| ≤ 1 where vf (x) denotes the number of vertices labeled with x, ef (1) and ef (0) respectively denote the number of edges labeled with 1 and not labeled with 1....

Let G be a (p, q) graph. Let f : V (G) → {1, 2, . . . , k} be a map.

2-recognizability of the simple groups $B_n(3)$ and $C_n(3)$ by prime graph

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $GK(G)$ be the prime graph of $G$. We assume that $ngeqslant 5 $ is an odd number. In this paper, we show that the simple groups $B_n(3)$ and $C_n(3)$ are 2-recognizable by their prime graphs. As consequences of the result, the characterizability of the groups $B_n(3)$ and $C_n(3)$ by their spectra and by the set of orders of maximal abelian subgroups are ...

2-quasirecognizability of the simple groups B_n(p) and C_n(p) by prime graph

Let G be a finite group and let $GK(G)$ be the prime graph of G. We assume that $n$ is an odd number. In this paper, we show that if $GK(G)=GK(B_n(p))$, where $ngeq 9$ and $pin {3,5,7}$, then G has a unique nonabelian composition factor isomorphic to $B_n(p)$ or $C_n(p)$ . As consequences of our result, $B_n(p)$ is quasirecognizable by its spectrum and also by a new proof, the ...
