On the location and classification of all prime numbers

Abstract

We will describe an algorithm to arrange all the positive and negative integer numbers. This array of numbers permits grouping them in six different Classes, $α$, $β$, $γ$, $δ$, $ε$, and $ζ$. Particularly, numbers belong to Class $α$ are defined as $α=1+6 n$, and those of Class $β$, as $β=5+6n$, where $n=0,\pm1,\pm2,\pm3,\pm4,...$ These two Classes $α$ and $β$,contain: i) all prime numbers, except + 2, -2 and $\pm$3, which belong to $ε$, $δ$, and $γ$ Classes, respectively, and ii) all the other odd numbers, except those that are multiple of $\pm$3, according to the sequence $\pm$9, $\pm$15, $\pm$21, $\pm$27, ... Besides, products between numbers of the Class $α$, and also those between numbers of the Class $β$, generates numbers belonging to the Class $α$. On the other side, products between numbers of Class $α$ with numbers of Class $β$, result in numbers of Class $β$. Then, both Classes $α$ and $β$ include: i) all the prime numbers except $\pm$2 and $\pm$3, and ii) all the products between $α$ numbers, as $α\cdotα^{\prime}$; all the products between $β$ numbers, as $β\cdotβ^{\prime}$; and also all the products between numbers of Classes $α$ and $β$, as $α\cdotβ$, which necessarily are composite numbers, whose factorization is completely determined.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
