On the Infinitude of Some Special Kinds of Primes

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to try to establish a generic model for the problem that several multivariable number-theoretic functions represent simultaneously primes for infinitely many integral points. More concretely, we introduced briefly the research background-the history and current situation-from Euclid's second theorem to Green-Tao theorem. We analyzed some equivalent necessary conditions that irreducible univariable polynomials with integral coefficients represent infinitely many primes, found new necessary conditions which perhaps imply that there are only finitely many Fermat primes, obtained an analogy of the Chinese Remainder Theorem, generalized Euler's function, the prime-counting function and Schinzel-Sierpinski's Conjecture and so on. Nevertheless, this is only a beginning and it miles to go. We hope that number theorists consider further it.

A Combinatorial Problem in Cinema Seating

We address a problem concerning cinema audiences: ``A cinema has $n$ seats numbered from $1$ to $n$, and there are $n$ people with tickets numbered from $1$ to $n$. People enter the cinema in order. If someone has the ticket number $i$, they can choose seats whose numbers are multiples of $i$. They should exit the cinema if the permitted seats are occupied by previous audience members. In how many ways can they be seated under these conditions?" We give an algorithm to create the list of situations that meet these conditions. We also focus on finding the number of situations in two special cases: when exactly one seat is unoccupied whose total number is denoted by $ω(n)$, and when all audiences $1, \ldots, n-1$ are seated, whose total number is denoted by $ψ(n)$. Giving the recursive formula $ψ(n)=1+\sum_{d|n, d\neq n}ψ(d)$ with the initial value $ψ(1)=1$, we provide an explicit formula for $ψ(p^αq^β)$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct prime numbers. Furthermore, we show that $ω(n)=-n+\sum_{i=1}^nψ(i)$.
