Linear Independence Of Some Irrational Numbers
N. A. Carella
This note presents an analytic technique for proving the linear independence of certain small subsets of real numbers over the rational numbers. The applications of this test produ…
Simple Proof of the Primitive Root Conjecture
N. A. Carella
Let \(u\neq \pm 1,v^2\) be a fixed integer, let \(p\geq 2\) be a prime, and let be the multiplicative order of . Define a prime countin…

Upper Bound of the Least Quadratic Nonresidues
N. A. Carella
Let be a large prime and let denotes the least quadratic nonresidue modulo . This note sharpens the standard upper bound of the least quadratic nonresidue f…
Primitive Root Conjecture in Arithmetic Progressions
N. A. Carella
Let be a large number, and let be integers such that and with constant. This note proves that the counting function for t…
Small Primes And The Tau Function
N. A. Carella
This note shows that the prime values of the Ramanujan tau function misses every prime .
