cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 5.
(ii) For any n > 3, sigma(k)*phi(n-k) - 1 and sigma(k)*phi(n-k) + 1 are both prime for some 0 < k < n, where sigma(k) is the sum of all (positive) divisors of k.
(iii) For any n > 5 not equal to 35, there is a positive integer k < n such that phi(k)*phi(n-k) - 1 is a Sophie Germain prime.
Note that part (i) implies the twin prime conjecture. We have verified it for n up to 10^7.

Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 5.
(ii) For any integer n > 1, 2^k +2^{phi(n-k)} - 1 is prime for some 0 < k < n, and 2^{sigma(j)} + 2^{phi(n-j)} - 1 is prime for some 0 < j < n, where sigma(j) is the sum of all positive divisors of j.
As phi(k) is even for any k > 2, part (i) of the conjecture implies that there are infinitely many primes of the form 4^a + 4^b - 1 with a and b positive integers (cf. A234310). Note that any Mersenne prime greater than 3 has the form 2^{2a+1} - 1 = 4^a + 4^a - 1.

Examples

			a(6) = 1 since 2^{phi(3)} + 2^{phi(3)} - 1 = 2^2 + 2^2 - 1 = 7 is prime.
a(7) = 1 since 2^{phi(3)} + 2^{phi(4)} - 1 = 2^2 + 2^2 - 1 = 7 is prime.
a(8) = 2 since 2^{phi(3)} + 2^{phi(5)} - 1 = 2^2 + 2^4 - 1 = 19 and 2^{phi(4)} + 2^{phi(4)} - 1 = 2^2 + 2^2 - 1 = 7 are both prime.

Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 if n is not a divisor of 6. The only values of n with a(n) = 1 are 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 24, 33, 49.
(ii) If n >= 60, then k + phi(n-k) is a square for some 0 < k < n. If n > 60, then sigma(k) + phi(n-k) is a square for some 0 < k < n, where sigma(k) is the sum of all positive divisors of k.
(iii) If n > 7 is not equal to 10 or 20, then phi(k)*phi(n-k) + 1 is a square for some 0 < k < n.
(iv) If n > 7 is not equal to 10 or 19, then (phi(k) + phi(n-k))/2 is a triangular number for some 0 < k < n.
Note that (n - 1)*phi(1) + 1 = n. So a(n) > 0 if n is a square.

Examples

			a(4) = 1 since 3*phi(1) + 1 = 2^2.
a(5) = 1 since 3*phi(2) + 1 = 2^2.
a(8) = 1 since 4*phi(4) + 1 = 3^2.

Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 1.
(ii) For any odd number 2*n - 1 > 4, there is a positive integer k < 2*n such that 2*n - 1 - phi(k) and 2*n - 1 + phi(k) are both prime.
By Goldbach's conjecture, 2*n > 2 could be written as p + q with p and q both prime, and hence 2*n - 1 = p + (q - 1) = p + phi(q).
By induction, phi(k^2) (k = 1,2,3,...) are pairwise distinct.

Examples

			a(29) = 1 since 2*29 - 1 = 37 + phi(5^2) with 37 prime.
a(39) = 1 since 2*39 - 1 = 71 + phi(3^2) with 71 prime.

a(128) = 1 since 2*128 - 1 = 223 + phi(8^2) with 223 prime.
a(182) = 1 since 2*182 - 1 = 331 + phi(8^2) with 331 prime.
a(413) = 1 since 2*413 - 1 = 823 + phi(2^2) with 823 prime.
a(171) = 3 since 2*171 - 1 = 233 + phi(18^2) = 257 + phi(14^2) = 293 + phi(12^2) with 233, 257, 293 all prime.

Conjecture: (i) Let n > 1 be an integer. Then we have a(2*n) > 0. Also, 2*n + 1 can be written as p + sigma(k), where p is a Sophie Germain prime and k is a positive integer.
(ii) Each odd number greater than one can be written as sigma(k^2) + phi(m), where k and m are positive integers, and phi(.) is Euler's totient function.
That a(2*n+1) > 0 for n > 1 is a consequence of Goldbach's conjecture, for, if 2*n = p + q with p and q both prime, then 2*n + 1 = p + sigma(q) = q + sigma(p).

Examples

			a(3) = 1 since 3 = 2 + 1 = 2 + sigma(1) with 2 prime.
a(7) = 1 since 7 = 3 + 4 = 3 + sigma(3) with 3 prime.
a(10) = 3 since 10 = 2 + 8 = 2 + sigma(7) with 2 prime, 10 = 3 + 7 = 3 + sigma(4) with 3 prime, and 10 = 7 + 3 = 7 + sigma(2) with 7 prime.
a(13) = 2 since 13 = 5 + 8 = 5 + sigma(7) with 5 prime, and 13 = 7 + 6 = 7 + sigma(5) with 7 prime.
a(28) = 1 since 28 = 13 + 15 = 13 + sigma(8) with 13 prime.
a(36) = 3 since 36 = 5 + 31 = 5 + sigma(16) = 5 + sigma(25) with 5 prime, 36 = 23 + 13 = 23 + sigma(9) with 23 prime, and 36 = 29 + 7 = 29 + sigma(4) with 29 prime.
a(148) = 1 since 148 = 109 + 39 = 109 + sigma(18) with 109 prime.

Conjecture: If n > 2 is not equal to 5, then we have a(n) > 0, also there is a prime p < n with p^2 + phi(n-p)^2 prime.
We have verified this for n up to 10^7. The first assertion in the conjecture implies that there are infinitely many primes of the form p^4 + q^4, where p is a prime and q is a positive integer.

Examples

			a(7) = 1 since 7 = 3 + 4 with 3 and 3^4 + phi(4)^4 = 81 + 16 = 97 both prime.
a(12) = 1 since 12 = 7 + 5 with 7 and 7^4 + phi(5)^4 = 7^4 + 4^4 = 2657 both prime.
a(31) = 1 since 31 = 23 + 8 with 23 and 23^4 + phi(8)^4 = 23^4 + 4^4 = 280097 both prime.
a(36) = 1 since 36 = 3 + 33 with 3 and 3^4 + phi(33)^4 = 3^4 + 20^4 = 160081 both prime.
a(90) = 1 since 90 = 79 + 11 with 79 and 79^4 + phi(11)^4 = 79^4 + 10^4 = 38960081 both prime.
