Approaches To The Erdős–Straus Conjecture, Ivan V. Morozov
Approaches To The Erdős–Straus Conjecture, Ivan V. Morozov
Publications and Research
The Erdős–Straus conjecture, initially proposed in 1948 by Paul Erdős and Ernst G. Straus, asks whether the equation 4/n = 1/x + 1/y + 1/z is solvable for all n ∈ N and some x, y, z ∈ N. This problem touches on properties of Egyptian fractions, which had been used in ancient Egyptian mathematics. There exist many partial solutions, mainly in the form of arithmetic progressions and therefore residue classes. In this work we explore partial solutions and aim to expand them.

Basic Science Engineering
Primes are essential for computer encryption and cryptography, as they are fundamental units of whole numbers and are of the highest importance due to their mathematical qualities. However, identifying a pattern of primes is not easy. Thinking in a different way may get benefits, by considering the opposite side of the problem which means focusing on non-prime numbers. Recently, researchers introduced, the pattern of non-primes in two maximal sets while in this paper, non-primes are presented in one formula. Getting one-way formula for non-primes may pave the way for further applications based on the idea of primes.

Number Theoretic Arithmetic Functions And Dirichlet Series, Ivan V. Morozov
Publications and Research
In this study, we will study number theoretic functions and their associated Dirichlet series. This study lay the foundation for deep research that has applications in cryptography and theoretical studies. Our work will expand known results and venture into the complex plane.
