An interval result for the number field v(x,y) function.
The density of primes dividing at least one term of the Lucas sequence , defined by and for , with an arbitrary integer, is determined.
We solve a 1985 challenge problem posed by Lagarias [5] by determining, under GRH, the density of the set of prime numbers that occur as divisor of some term of the sequence defined by the linear recurrence and the initial values and . This is the first example of a ænon-torsionÆ second order recurrent sequence with irreducible recurrence relation for which we can determine the associated density of prime divisors.
Robin’s criterion states that the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is true if and only if Robin’s inequality is satisfied for , where denotes the Euler(-Mascheroni) constant. We show by elementary methods that if does not satisfy Robin’s criterion it must be even and is neither squarefree nor squarefull. Using a bound of Rosser and Schoenfeld we show, moreover, that must be divisible by a fifth power . As consequence we obtain that RH holds true iff every natural number divisible by a fifth power...
