On Existence of Infinitely Many Primes of The Form x2+1
... Are there infinitely many primes of the form x2+1? It has been an unsolved problem in mathematics. Landau listed it as one of four basic problems about primes at ICM 1912[1]. H. Iwaniec showed that there are infinitely many numbers of the form n2+1 with at most two prime factors in 1987[2]. A theor ...

... in this case. We could try indirect proof also, but in this case, it is a little simpler to just use proof by contradiction (very similar to indirect). • So, what are we trying to show? Just that x+y is irrational. That is, ¬i,j: (x + y) = i/j. • What happens if we hypothesize the negation of this ...

Towards a Classification of Hamiltonian Cycles in the 6-Cube
... 2.2 Equivalence of H-Cycles Our classification of H-cycles follows the proposal of Parkhomenko [33], but we formulate it more concisely in terms of change numbers and change sequences. Definition 5 (Change number [23]). The change number cj of the j th coordinate is the number of times this coordina ...

Collatz conjecture
The Collatz conjecture is a conjecture in mathematics named after Lothar Collatz, who first proposed it in 1937. The conjecture is also known as the 3n + 1 conjecture, the Ulam conjecture (after Stanisław Ulam), Kakutani's problem (after Shizuo Kakutani), the Thwaites conjecture (after Sir Bryan Thwaites), Hasse's algorithm (after Helmut Hasse), or the Syracuse problem; the sequence of numbers involved is referred to as the hailstone sequence or hailstone numbers (because the values are usually subject to multiple descents and ascents like hailstones in a cloud), or as wondrous numbers.Take any natural number n. If n is even, divide it by 2 to get n / 2. If n is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1 to obtain 3n + 1. Repeat the process (which has been called ""Half Or Triple Plus One"", or HOTPO) indefinitely. The conjecture is that no matter what number you start with, you will always eventually reach 1. The property has also been called oneness.Paul Erdős said about the Collatz conjecture: ""Mathematics may not be ready for such problems."" He also offered $500 for its solution.
