Abstract
In this article the proof of the binary Goldbach conjecture is established (Any integer greater than one is the mean arithmetic of two positive primes). To this end, Chen’s weak conjecture is proved (Any even integer greater than one is the difference of two positive primes) and a "localised" algorithm is developed for the construction of two recurrent sequences of primes (U2n) and (V2n), ((U2n) dependent of (V2n)) such that for any integer n their sum is equal to 2n: (U2n) and (V2n) are extreme Goldbach decomponents. To form them, a third sequence of primes (W2n) is defined for any integer n ≥ 3 by W2n = Sup (p : p ≤ 2n - 3), p denoting the set of positive primes. The Goldbach conjecture has been proved for all even integers 2n between 4 and 4. 1018 neighbourhoodof 10100, 10200, and 10300 for interval of amplitude 109 The table of extreme Goldbach decomposants, compiled using the programs in Appendix 14 and written with the Maxima and Maple scientific computing software, as well as files from ResearchGate, Internet Archive, and the OEIS, reaches values of the order of 2n = 105000. In addition, a global proof by strong recurrence "finite ascent and descent method" on all the Goldbach decomponents is provided by using sequences of primes (Wq2n) defined by Wq2n = Sup (p : p ≤ 2n - q) for any odd positive prime q, and a majorization of U2n by n0.525, 0.7 ln2.2 (n) with probability one and 5 ln1.3 (n) on average for any integer n large enough is justified. Finally, the Lagrange-Lemoine-Levy (3L) conjecture and its generalization called "Bachet-Bézout-Goldbach"(BBG) conjecture are proven by the same type of method.

1. Overview

Number theory, "the queen of mathematics" studies the structures and properties defined on integers and primes (Euclid [15], Hadamard [18], Hardy, Wright [20], Landau [26], Tchebychev [44]). Numerous problems have been raised and conjectures made, the statements of which are often simple but very difficult to prove. These main components include:
  • Elementary arithmetic
    -
    Operations on integers, determination and properties of primes.
    (Basic operations, congruence, gcd, lcm, ………..).
    -
    Decomposition of integers into products or sums of primes
    (Fundamental theorem of arithmetic, decomposition of large numbers, cryptography and Goldbach's conjecture, see Filhoa,Jaimea,de Oliveira Gouveaa,Keller Füchter, [16]).
  • Analytical number theory
    -
    Distribution of primes: Prime Number Theorem, the Riemann hypothesis, (see Hadamard [18], De la Vallée-Poussin [45], Littlewood [29] and Erdos [14],,.....).
    -
    Gaps between consecutive primes (Bombieri,Davenport [3], Cramer [9], Baker,Harmann,Iwaniec, Pintz [4,5,24], Granville [17], Maynard [31], Tao [43], Shanks [40], Tchebychev [44] and Zhang [49]).

2. Definitions Notations and Background

The integers h, m,M, n, N, k, K,p, q, Q, r,..…used in this article are always positive.
The symbol " " means: such as or knowing that.
Let   P   be   the   infinite   set   of   positive   primes   p k   ( called simply primes )
( p 1 = 2 ;   p 2 = 3 ;   p 3   = 5 ;   p 4   = 7 ;   p 5 = 11 ;   p 6 = 13 ; )
For   any   non - zero   integer   K   P K = {   p   P : p 2 K }
Writing the large numbers calculated in Appendix 14 is simplified by defining the following constants:
M   =   10 9 ;   R   =   4. 10 8 ;   G   =   10 100 ;   S   =   10 500 ; T = 10 1000
ln(x) denotes the neperian logarithm of the real x > 0
Let (   W 2 n )  be the sequence of primes defined by
  n   + 3   W 2 n = Sup   ( p   P : p 2 n 3 )
For any odd prime q, let (   W q 2 n )  be the sequence of primes defined by
  n     n   ( q + 3 ) 2 W q 2 n = Sup   ( p   P : p 2 n q )
Any sequence denoted by (   G 2 n )  = (   U 2 n   ; V 2 n   ) verifying (2.9) is called a Goldbach sequence.
  n     + 2     U 2 n , V 2 n   P and   U 2 n + V 2 n = 2 n
  U 2 n  and V 2 n  are also known as "Goldbach partitions or Goldbach decomponents".
Iwaniec,Pintz [24] have shown that for a sufficiently large integer n there is always a prime between n n 23 / 42    and n. Baker and Harman [4,5] concluded that there is a prime in the interval [ n; n + o ( n 0.525 ) ] .  Thus this results provides an increase of the gap between two consecutive primes p k   and p k + 1     of the form
ε >   0   k ε   N *     k       k     k ε p k + 1 -   p k <   ε . p k 0.525
The results obtained on the Cramer-Granville-Maier-Nicely conjecture [1,3,9,17,30,32] imply the following majorization.
For any real c > 2 and for any integer k ≥ 500
p k + 1 -   p k   0.7   l n c ( p k ) ( with   probability   one )
and
p k + 1 -   p k   20. ln ( p k ) ( on   average )
The following abbreviations have been adopted:
• Lagrange-Lemoine-Levy conjecture (3L) conjecture
• Bachet-Bézout-Goldbach conjecture (BBG) conjecture
• (Extreme) Goldbach decomponents (E).G.D.

3. Introduction

Chen [7], Hardy, Littlewood [21], Hegfollt, Platt [22], Ramaré, Saouter [35], Tao [43],
Tchebychev [44] and Vinogradov [46] have taken important steps and obtained promising results on the Goldbach conjecture (Any integer n ≥ 2 is the mean arithmetic of two primes). Indeed, Helfgott, Platt [22] proved the ternary Goldbach conjecture in 2013.
Silva, Herzog, Pardi [41] held the record for calculating the terms of Goldbach sequences after determining pairs of primes ( U 2 n ;   V 2 n ) verifying
  n         4     2 n     4.10 18 U 2 n + V 2 n = 2 n
Goldbach's conjecture has also been verified for all even integers 2n satisfying
10 5 k   2 n 10 5 k + 10 8 : k = 3 ,   4 ,   5 ,   6 , , 20
and
10 10 k   2 n   10 10 k + 10 9 : k = 20 ,   21 ,   22 ,   23 ,   24 , , 30
by Deshouillers, te Riele, Saouter [11].
In previous research work there is no explicit construction of recurrent Goldbach sequences.
In this article, for any integer n greater than two the E.G.D. U 2 n and V 2 n are computed iteratively using a simple and efficient "localised" algorithm.
Using Maxima and Maple scientific computing software on a personal computer Silva's record is broken and many E.G.D. are calculated up to the neighbourhood of 2n = 10500, 101000, 105000 and G.D. around 10 10000 (see Sainty [37]
"In Researchgate.net, Internet Archive, and OEIS, E.G.D. files are supplied: E.G.D. File S Around 2n = 10 S for S = 1, 2, 3,............., 10000").
The binary Goldbach conjecture can be proved globally by strong recurrence on all G.D. using ( W q 2 n ) sequences of primes in the same way via Goldbach(-) conjecture (Any even integer greater than one is the difference of two primes) demonstrated in Teorem 4.
  • Remark.
  • Chen conjecture: For any integer K ≥ 1 there are infinitely many pairs of primes with a difference equal to 2K.
  • De Polignac conjecture: Same as Chen, but with consecutive pairs of primes.
  • What we know:
April 2013, Yitang Zhang [49] demonstrates that the smallest even integer 2K verifying the conjecture is greater than 70 million.
In 2014, James Maynard [31] then Terence Tao [43] lowered this limit to 246.
We validate Chen’s weak conjecture by verifying directly in the primes tables that all even gaps from 2 to 246 are possible (see Appendix 15).
In addition, the (3L) conjectures [10,23,25,28,47] and its generalization called (BBG) conjecture are validated.
Using case disjunction reasoning we construct two recurrent E.G.D. sequences of primes (   V 2 n   ) and (   U 2 n   ) according to the sequence ( W 2 n ) by the following process
Firstly,
U 4 = 2   and   V 4   = 2
For any integer n greater than two
  • Either
(2n - W 2 n ) is a prime
then V 2 n and U 2 n are defined directly in terms of W 2 n .
  • Either
(2n - W 2 n ) is a composite number
then V 2 n and U 2 n are determined from the previous terms of the sequence (   G 2 n ) .
(This process can be reversed by first determining the increasing sequence of primes less than Inf (2n - W 2 k P : k ∈ ℕ), which saves a lot of computing time when programming).

4. Theorem (Chen’s Weak or Goldbach(-) Conjecture)

  K     *   p ,   q     P p q = 2 K
If K ≥ 2 3 ≤ q ≤ 2K and 3 + 2K ≤ p ≤ 4K
Practical method on some examples:
First of all (5 - 3 = 2), then we begin the process at (7 - 3 = 4); we will select the smallest primes for which the difference is precisely 6 (11 - 5 = 6), then 8 (11 - 3 = 8), then 10
(13 - 3 = 10),........., then 2K (demonstration established by strong recurrence, by the asurd and feedback). All pairs of Goldbach(-) partitions obtained by this method for K between 2 and 123 are listed in Appendix 15 to validate it using Tao results.
Proof. An other proof can also be established by strong recurrence on the integer K ≥ 2. Let P C h e n (K) be the following property
"     K     *   p ,   q     P p q = 2 K   3 q 2 K and 2 K + 2 p 4 K   "
P C h e n (2) is true: 7 - 3 = 4 q = 3 ≤ 4 and p = 7 ≤ 4 x 2 = 8
► Let’s show
  M         2     M     K   then   P C h e n ( M   P C h e n ( K + 1 )
We reason through the absurd
Let p, q P K   pq
  P , Q       P   P     Q h ,   m
P = p + 2h and Q = q + 2m
we assume that
P - Q = p + 2h - q - 2m ≠ 2(K + 1)
Therefore
p - q ≠ 2(K + 1 - h + m)
You can always choose hm and h - mK + 1.
The set {K + 1 - h + m; 2h and 2m are any gaps between primes} contains all even integers between 2 and 2K.
However the strong recurrence hypothesis asserts that
  M       M     K p ,   q     P p - q = 2 M
By choosing:
M = K + 1 - h + m
t h i s c o n t r a d i c t s (4.4).
So
h , m P - Q = p + 2 h - q - 2 m = 2 ( K + 1 )
knowing
p ,   p + 2 h ,   q ,   q + 2 m     P   h m and h - m K + 1
Thus validating the heredity of property P C h e n (K).
The property P C h e n (K) is therefore true. As a result Goldbach(-) conjecture is validated.

5. Corollary

Let ( R 2 K ) and ( Q 2 K ) be two sequences of primes determined by
R 2 K = Inf   ( p     P : p   -   2 K     P ) and   Q 2 K - = Inf   ( p     P : 2 K + p     P ) = R 2 K - 2 K
They are defined for any integer K   N *
and satisfy
lim   R 2 K = +
K N * R 2 K ,   Q 2 K -   P and   R 2 K -   Q 2 K = 2 K
K N *   2     K     16   3     Q 2 K -   2 K   and   2 K + 3     R 2 K 4 K
For any integer K large enough
3     Q 2 K -   ( 2 K ) 0.525 and   2 K + 3     R 2 K   2 K + ( 2 K ) 0.525
Proof.
(5.1); (5.2): According to the previous theorem, the sequences ( R 2 K   ) and ( Q 2 K - ) are defined by strong recurrence (finite descent).
(5.3): R 2 K ≥ 2K lim R 2 K = + (5.4): By construction, these sequences thus verify: R 2 K - Q 2 K = 2K
(5.5): The property can be verified directly term-to-term by examining the sequence proposed above.
(5.6): This property is verified up to 2K = 246 by calculations on the previous list.
We prove this result by recurrence
First of all, we order the Goldbach(-) decomponents at a fixed prime q, so as to obtain the estimate (5.6) more easily.
Let q r be the (r + 1)th prime:
We examine the sequences of primes ( T r (K) ) K N satisfying:
T 1 (K) = 2K + 3
( T 1 (K); 2K) → (5;2); (7 4); (11;8); (13;10); (17;14); (19;16); (23;20); (29;26); (29;28);..
T 2 (K) = 2K + 5
( T 2 (K); 2K) → (7;2); (11;6); (13;8); (17;12); (19;14); (23;18); (29;24); (31;26); (37;32)................................
T 3 (K) = 2K + 7
( T 3 (K); 2K) → (11;4); (13;6); (17;10); (19;12); (23;16); (29;22); (31;24); (37;30)...........
T 4 (K) = 2K + 11
(T11(K); 2K) → (13;2); (17;6); (19;8); (23;12); (29;18); (31;20); (37;26); (41;30); (43;34).........................
(T13(K); 2K) → (17;4); (19;6); (23;10);(29;16); (31;18); (37;24); (41;28); (43;30; (47;34)..........................
......................................
T r (K) = 2K + q r (K N * : T r (K) and q r are primes) (see Appendix 16)
For any integer K satisfying ( 2 K ) 0.525 > q r the property holds for T r (K).
Therefore it is generally validated for all K > K 0 , since we obtain all possible cases of
Chen's weak conjecture starting with T 1 (K), then T 2 (K), then T 3 (K).... for ( 2 K ) 0.525 q r . (can be proved by strong recurrence using the same method as in Theorem 4 by "finite descent").
Let a = 40 21 and P a (r) be the following property
"For any integer M │ 2M < ( q r ) a there exists at least a prime q < q r │ 2 M + q P   ' ' P a ( K 0 ) is true (see Appendix 16).
▶ Let’s show: P a (r)  P a (r + 1)
q r + 1   q r + q r 0.525
It is assumed that M
T r + 1 (K) - q r + 1 ≠ 2M knowing 2M < ( q r + 1 ) c p
  T m ( R ) ,   q m   P h ,   s         T r + 1 ( K ) = T m ( R ) + 2 h and   q r + 1 = q m + 2 s
then
T m ( R )   -   q m 2 ( M + s - h )
which is impossible according to the hypothesis of strong recurrence since
2(M + s - h) is less than Sup ( q m ) a   and that all primes T m (R), q m satisfy the recurrence hypothesis.
We deduce that: P c p (r)  P c p (r + 1)
Thus the property (5.5) is true.

6. Lemma (Goldbach’s Fundamental Lemma)

Let q be an odd prime
For any integer n ≥ n q there exists an integer s │
2 n   -   W q 2 s   P
Let ( Z q 2 n ) be the sequence of primes defined by
  n     n     n q Z q 2 n = Inf   ( 2 n - W q 2 k   P : k
All G.D. are contains in the set {(2n - Z q 2 n ; Z q 2 n ) n ∈ ℕ + 3}
For any integer n n 0
Z 3 2 n   ( 2 n ) 0.525
Z 3 2 n   o ( 2 n ) 0.525
Proof. The proofs of propositions (6.1), (6.2) and (6.3) are established following the same principle of strong recurrence as in Theorem 4 and Corollary 5 by "return, absurd and finite descent"
(6.1): For any integer n > 3 and for any odd primes r, q │ 3 ≤ r < q,
there exists an integer M r
2 n   -   W q 2 k = 2 n   -   2 M r -   W r 2 k = 2 ( n   -   M r )   -   W r 2 k
or
2 ( n + 1 )   -   W q 2 k = 2 ( n + 1   -   M r )   -   W r 2 k
then by recurrence and the absurd the property is validated.
(Proof to develop).
Remark. A better estimate of the following form can be obtained by the same method with probability one or on average using the results of Bombieri [3], Cramer [9], Granville [17],
Nicely [32] and Maier [30]:
 n ∈ ℕ: n n 0 ;
For any real c   >   2   U 2 n <   1.7 l n ( n ) c ( with probability one )
and
K 3.5 U 2 n <   K . l n 1.3 ( n on average )

7. Principle of proof

To determine the E.G.D. three sequences of primes ( W 2 n ) , ( V 2 n ), ( U 2 n ) are defined and they verify the following properties
lim   V 2 n = + .
  n     + 2   V 2 n   is   defined   as   a   function   of   W 2 n = Sup ( p Ƥ : p 2 n - 3 )
( W 2 n )   is   an   increasing   sequence   of   primes   that   contains   all   of   them   except   p 1 = 2
lim   W 2 n = +
(   U 2 n   )   is   a   complementary   sequence   to   ( W 2 n ) of negligible primes with respect to 2 n
For any integer n 3
  • If (2n - W 2 n   ) is a prime
then V 2 n and U 2 n are defined by
V 2 n = W 2 n and   U 2 n = 2 n   -   W 2 n
  • Otherwise, if (2n - W 2 n   )is a composite number
we search for two previous terms of the sequence (   G 2 n   ), U 2 ( n k ) ) and V 2 ( n k ) satisfying the following conditions
U 2 n k ,   V 2 n k ,   [ U 2 n k + 2 k   ]     P
U 2 n k + V 2 n k = 2 n k
which is always possible (see Theorem 4 and "Goldbach’s fundamental Lemma 6")
So by setting
V 2 n = V 2 ( n k ) and   U 2 n = U 2 ( n k ) + 2 k
two new primes V 2 n and U 2 n satisfying (4.10) are generated │
U 2 n + V 2 n = 2 n
This process is then repeated incrementing n by one unit (n ← n + 1).
  • Remark. Using the same method as in Theorem 4, we can the following equivalent property by strong recurrence: For any integer n greater than 48
P r e t ( n ) :   "   There   exists   an   integer   K   such   that   2 K + U 2 ( n k ) P "
To this end,.
P r e t (49) is true.
▶ The heredity of the property P r e t (n): P r e t (n)   P r e t (n + 1)
can be proved by the absurd and returning to the previous terms by noting that
For any integer rrn, there is at least one integer M r
U 2 ( n + 1 k ) = 2 M r + U 2 ( r + 1 k )
then
2 K + U 2 n + 1 k = 2 ( K + M r ) + U 2 r + 1 k = 2 P + U 2 ( r + 1 + M r P )
By posing: P = K + M r and r + 1 + M r ≤ n
Now, according to the recurrence hypothesis on P r e t (n) there exists an integer P │
2 P + U 2 ( r + 1 +   M r P )   P
then there exists an integer K
2 K + U 2 ( n + 1 k )   P
In summary, the property P r e t (n) is hereditary and, as a result, verifiable.
We apply the same type of reasoning using Theorem 4 to the general case with the sequence ( W q 2 n ), showing:
For any integer n > 2 there exists an integer K
2 K + q 2 n   P

8. Theorem (Goldbach conjecture)

(i) There exists at least a recurrent sequence ( G 2 n ) = ( U 2 n ;   V 2 n ) of primes satisfying the following conditions.
For any integer n ≥ 2
U 2 n , V 2 n ϵ P and   U 2 n + V 2 n = 2 n
(Any integer n ≥ 2 is the mean arithmetic of two primes)
( ii )   A n algorithm   can   be used to   explicitly   compute any term     U 2 n and   V 2 n
Proof.
▄ GLOBAL STRONG RECURRENCE:
The proof can be made using the following strong recurrence principle.
Let P G (n) be the property defined for any integer n ≥ 2 by
P G (n): " For any integer p satisfying 2 ≤ pn there exists two primes U 2 p and V 2 p such their sum is equal to 2p ".
(   p         2     p     n   U 2 p , V 2 p P and   U 2 p + V 2 p = 2 p )
Let's show by strong recurrence that P G (n) is true for any integer n ≥ 2
P G (2) is true: it suffices to choose   U 4 = V 4 = 2.
▶ Let's show that the property P G (n) is hereditary: P G (n) P G (n + 1)
Assume property P G (n) is true.
  • If (2(n + 1) -  W 2 ( n + 1 )   ) is a prime
then V 2 ( n + 1 )   and U 2 ( n + 1 )   are defined by
V 2 ( n + 1 ) = W 2 ( n + 1 ) and   U 2 ( n + 1 ) = 2 ( n + 1 )   -   W 2 ( n + 1 )
  • Otherwise, if (2(n+1) - W 2 ( n + 1 )   ) is a composite number
there exists an integer k to obtain two terms U 2 ( n + 1 k ) ) and V 2 ( n + 1 k ) satisfying the following conditions
U 2 ( n + 1 k ) ,   V 2 ( n + 1 k ) and   U 2 ( n + 1 k ) + 2 k Ƥ
U 2 n + 1 k + V 2 n + 1 k = n + 1 k
we use the previous terms of the sequence ( G 2 n   ).
For any integer q │ 1 ≤ qn - 3 we have
3     U 2 ( n q ) n .
Then there exists an integer k 1 ≤ kn - 3 │
R 2 n = U 2 ( n k ) + 2 k Ƥ
following the Bertrand principle and Theorem 4 since all primes smaller than ( 2 n ) 0.525   are in the set {   U 2 k : kn }
(If there were no such primes, we would have a contradiction with the Theorem 4 or with Goldbach’s fundamental Lemma 6). In fact, in an equivalent way (see the previous remark) we can copy the proof of Teorem 4 by performing a similar strong recurrence ”finite descent feedback and absurd” directly on the set { U 2 k : kn }
R 2 n = U 2 ( n k ) + 2 k Ƥ
The smallest integer k R 2 n   Ƥ is denoted by k n .
So by setting
U 2 n = U 2 n k n + 2 k n and   V 2 n = V 2 n k n Ƥ
(These two terms are primes)
In the previous steps two primes   U 2 n k n and V 2 n k n whose sum is equal to 2(n - k n ) were
determined.
U 2 n k n + V 2 n k n = 2 ( n -   k n )
By adding the term 2 k n to each member of the equality (8.6) it follows
U 2 n k n + 2 k n + V 2 n k n = 2 ( n   -   k n ) + 2 k n
[   U 2 n k n + 2 k n ] + V 2 n k n = 2 n
U 2 n + V 2 n = 2 n
Two new primes V 2 ( n + 1 ) and U 2 ( n + 1 ) satisfying (   U 2 ( n + 1 ) + V 2 ( n + 1 ) = 2(n + 1)) are generated.
It follows that P G (n + 1) is true. Then the property P G (n) is hereditary:
P G ( n )   P G ( n + 1 )
Therefore for any integer n ≥ 2 the property P G (n) is true.
It follows
 n ∈ ℕ + 2 there are two primes U 2 n and V 2 n and such their sum is 2n:  U 2 n + V 2 n = 2n
▄ ALGORITHM:
For any integer n 3
  • If (2n - W 2 n   ) is a prime
then V 2 n   and U 2 n are defined by
V 2 n = W 2 n and   U 2 n = 2 n   -   W 2 n
  • Otherwise, if (2n - W 2 n ) is a composite number
we use the previous terms of the sequence ( G 2 n   ).
For any integer q │ 1 ≤ qn - 3 we have
3     U 2 ( n q ) n .
Then there exists an integer k 1 ≤ kn - 3 │
R 2 n = U 2 ( n k ) + 2 k Ƥ
following Theorem 4 since all primes smaller than ( 2 n ) 0.525   are in the set {   U 2 k : kn }
(If there were no such primes, we would have a contradiction with the Theorem 4 or with Goldbach’s fundamental Lemma 6). In fact, in an equivalent way (see the previous remark) we can copy the proof of Teorem 4 by performing a similar strong recurrence ‘’finite descent return and absurd” directly on the set { U 2 k : kn } │
R 2 n = U 2 ( n k ) + 2 k Ƥ
The smallest integer k R 2 n   Ƥ is denoted by k n .
So
U 2 n = U 2 n k n + 2 k n and   V 2 n = V 2 n k n Ƥ
(These two terms are primes)
In the previous steps two primes   U 2 n k n and V 2 n k n whose sum is equal to 2(n - k n ) were determined.
U 2 n k n + V 2 n k n = 2 ( n -   k n )
By adding the term 2 k n to each member of the equality (8.16) it follows
U 2 n k n + 2 k n + V 2 n k n = 2 ( n   -   k n ) + 2 k n
[   U 2 n k n + 2 k n ] + V 2 n k n = 2 n
U 2 n + V 2 n = 2 n
Finally, for any integer n ≥ 3 this algorithm determines two sequences of primes ( U 2 n ) and ( V 2 n ) verifying Goldbach's conjecture.

9. Lemma

The sequence (   U 2 n ) verifies the followingmajorization
For any integer n ≥ 65
U 2 n   ( 2 n ) 0.525
and
U 2 n =   ( ( 2 n ) 0.525 )
Proof. According to the programm 12.2 and Appendix 13 the majorization (9.1) is verified for any integer n │ 65 ≤ n ≤ 2000.
For any integer n > 2000 the proof is established by recurrence. For this purpose let P b h i p (n) be the following property
P b h i p ( n ) :   "   U 2 n   ( 2 n ) 0.525 " .
P b h i p (2000) is true according to program 12.2 and the table in appendix 13.
▶ For any integer n ≥ 2000 let’s show that P b h i p (n) is hereditary:
P b h i p ( n )   . P b h i p ( n + 1 )
Assume that P b h i p (n) is true: then
  • If (2(n + 1) - W 2 ( n + 1 ) ) is a prime
then V 2 ( n + 1 ) and U 2 ( n + 1 ) are defined by
V 2 ( n + 1 ) = W 2 ( n + 1 ) and   U 2 ( n + 1 )   = 2 ( n + 1 )   -   W 2 ( n + 1 )
According to the results in [4,5,24] (see Lemma 9) there is a constant K > 0 such that
2 ( n + 1 )   -   K . [ 2 ( n + 1 ) ] 0.525 <   W 2 ( n + 1 ) U 2 n + 1 = 2 ( n + 1 )     W 2 n + 1 <   K   . 2 n + 1 0.525 U 2 ( n + 1 )   K   . [ 2 ( n + 1 ) ] 0.525 2 ( n + 1 )
  • Otherwise, if (2(n + 1) - W 2 ( n + 1 ) ) is a composite number
p     N *   U 2 ( n + 1 ) = U 2 ( n + 1 p ) + 2 p
According to [4,5,24]
U 2 ( n + 1 ) = 2 p + U 2 ( n + 1 p ) = 2 p + 2 ( n + 1   -   p )   -   W 2 ( n + 1 p ) = 2 ( n + 1 )   -   W 2 ( n + 1 p )
Via " Goldbach's fundamental Lemma 6 " it follows that
U 2 ( n + 1 ) <   K . [ 2 ( n + 1 ) ] 0.525
P b h i p (n + 1) is true then P b h i p (n) is hereditary.
So for any integer n ≥ 2000 the property P b h i p (n) is true.
Finally U 2 ( n + 1 ) [ 2 ( n + 1 ) ] 0.525
  • Remark. A more precise estimate can be obtained using the Cipolla or Axler frames [2,8].

10. Theorem

For any integer n 3 it is easy to check
( W 2 n ) is a positive increasing sequence of primes
{   W 2 n :   n   IN + 3   }   { 2 } = P
lim   W 2 n = + oo
( U 2 n )   and   ( V 2 n )   are   sequences   of   primes   and   the   set   {   U 2 k : k n }
contains all primes less than ln( n )
n   V 2 n   W 2 n
3 2 n W 2 n U 2 n n
lim   V 2 n = + oo
Proof.
(10.1): For any integer n ≥ 2   P n     P n + 1 . Therefore, W 2 n W 2 ( n + 1 ) . So the sequence (   W 2 n   ) is increasing.
(10.2): Any prime except p 1 = 2 is odd, hence the result.
(10.3): lim W 2 n = lim p k = +oo
(10.4): By definition V 2 n = W 2 n or there exits an integer kn - 2 │ V 2 n = V 2 ( n k ) .
So the terms of the sequence ( V 2 n ) ) are primes.
(10.5): According to Lemma 9, for any integer n ≥ 65
U 2 n <   ( 2 n ) 0.525
therefore
U 2 n <   ( 2 n ) 0.55 < n
and
V 2 n = 2 n   -   U 2 n > 2 n - n > n
For any integer n │ 3 ≤ n ≤ 65 verification is carried out according to the computer program in paragraph 12.2 and the table in appendix 13.
We can also see that by construction V 2 n U 2 n because if we assume the opposite then V 2 n is not the largest prime number verifying
1 2 ( U 2 n + V 2 n ) = n .
So
V 2 n n
According to (10.5)
n   V 2 n U 2 n = 2 n   -   V 2 n 2 n - n
V 2 n   W 2 n 2 n   -   W 2 n   2 n   -   V 2 n = U 2 n
By (10.5) for any integer n ≥ 2: n   V 2 n
lim   V 2 n = + oo .

  • If 2n = 6m then (p; q) = (6r + 5; 6(m - r - 1) + 1) or (6r+1; 6(m - 1 - r) + 5)
  • If 2n = 6m + 2 then (p; q) = (6r + 1; 6(m - r) + 1)

12. Properties

For any integer k   2   t here are infinitely many integers n   U 2 n = p k
V 2 n ~ 2 n ( n +oo)
For any integer n ≥ 5000
  U 2 n V 2 n and   lim   ( U 2 n V 2 n ) = 0
The smallest integer n   U 2 n 2 n   -   W 2 n is obtained for   n = 49   and   G 98 = ( 79 ; 19 )
(This type of terms increases in the Goldbach sequence ( G 2 n ) as n increases in the sense of the Schnirelmann density and there are an infinite number of them; their proportion per interval can be computed using the results given in [39]).
The sequence   ( G 2 n )   is " " in the sense that for any integer   n   2
V 2 n and U 2 n are the largest and smallest possible primes │ U 2 n + V 2 n = 2n.
The Cramer-Granville-Maier-Nicely conjecture [9, 17,30,32] is verified with probability one. It leads to the following majorization
For any integer p ≥ 500
U 2 p   0.7   [ l n ( 2 p ) ] ( 2.2 1 p ) ( with probability one )
The proof is similar to that ofLemma9 and is validated by the studying functions of the type
f: x a.g (x) + b [ l n ( g ( x ) ) ] c  (a,b > 0; c > 2) with
g: x 0.7 [l n ( x ) ] ( c     1 x ) and h: x 0.7   [ l n ( x ) ] ( 2.2     1 x )  by using Maple software.
A better estimate can be obtained via [29,30,31].
According to Bombieri [3] and using the same method as in the proof of Lemma 9,
we obtain the following estimate of   U 2 n
ε >   0   U 2 n = O   ( l n 1.3 + ε ( n ) ) ( on average )

14. Appendix

Application of Algorithm 13: Table of extreme Goldbach partitions U 2 n   and V 2 n   computed from program 13.2 (2 ≤ 2n 10 1000 + 4020).
The ** sign in the table below indicates the results given by the algorithm 13 in case B) of return to the previous terms of the sequence ( G 2 n ) .
WATCH OUT !
To simplify the display of large numbers n (2n >   10 9 ) the results are entered as follows:
2n - P, (2n - 3) - P, W 2 n - P, T 2 n , V 2 n - P and U 2 n
with
P = M, R, G, S, orTconstants defined in (2.3)

17. Perspectives and generalizations

17.1 Other Goldbach sequences ( G ' 2 n ) independent of G 2 n may be studied using the increasing sequences of primes ( W ' 2 n ) defined by
For any integer n 3
W ' 2 n = Sup   ( p   ϵ P :   p f ( n ) )
f is a function defined on the interval I = [3; + [ and satisfying the following conditions
  • f is strictly increasing on the interval I
  • f (3) = 3 and lim x + f ( x ) = +   x   ϵ   I   f x 2 x 3
For example, one of the following functions defined on I can be selected.
  • f: x   a x + 3 - 3a (a   R : 0 < a   2 )
  • g: x     [ 4 3 x 9 ] ([x] is the integer part of the real x)
  • h: x 6   l n   x 3   + 3
17.2 Using this method it would be interesting to study the Schnirelmann density [39] of primes 3, 5, 7, 11,........... in the sequence ( U 2 n   ) on variable intervals and the Caesaro sums of U 2 n E.D.G.’s with a view to more efficient programming for their calculation.
17.3 It is possible to exceed the values shown in the table of 2n = 10 1000   (Many E.G.D have been calculated for values of 2n in the order of 10 2000 ,   10 5000 (or 10 10000 G.D.,see Sainty [37]) by perfecting this algorithm, exploiting the fact that one of Goldbach's decomponents can be chosen equal to 4p + 3, (G.D. are primes of the form 6m + 1 or
6m + 5 and can be expressed more precisely using primes of the form 30m + r:
r ∈ [1,7,11,13,17,19,23,29] (see Table mod 30, Lemma 11),by using De Pocklington Theorem [6,34,36], Primality tests [37], Cipolla-Axler-Dusart type functions and improvment of primes frames [2,8,12,13,37] via a new Prime number Theorem to better identify the terms of gmail(   G 2 n   ) , supercomputers and more   efficients software as C++, or Assembleur compilation.
17.4 Any Goldbach decomponent of order 2n = 10 10000 can be determined more quickly by replacing the instruction b:=2 by b:=trunc(c.b + d) and b:= nextprime(b) with b:= nextprime(b + k(b, G)), where k(b, G) is a constant of around 150 for G = 10¹⁰⁰⁰ and is chosen randomly using the rand procedure or increases very slowly as a function of b and G. An increasing sequence of primes, b k , can also be determined in stages by replacing the initial value b:=2 by b:=trunc( k 0 . b - k 1 . l n s (n) - k 2 ) and by setting c:= trunc(a. l n d (b)), 1 ≤ d ≤ 2 and b:= b + c for each stage, followed by b:= nextprime(b) until the next stage, (see Sainty [37]; Note that for any even integer 2n large enough there exists G.D. p ' n , p ' n + 1 , q ' n , q ' n + 1 p ' n + q ' n = 2n and p ' n + 1 + q ' n + 1 = 2(n + 1) with
p ' n + 1   - p ' n and q ' n + 1 - q ' n < k. l n s (n)). It is therefore advisable to develop adaptive algorithms based on this model using A.I., as a function of the program's G parameter.
17.5 Diophantine equations and conjectures of the same nature ((3L) conjecture [9,21,23,26,27,44]) can be processed using similar reasoning and algorithms.
To validate the (3L) conjecture we study the following sequences of primes (W l 2 n ), (   V l 2 n )   a n d ( U l 2 n )   defined by
For any integer n 3 W l 2 n = Sup   ( p   ϵ P : p n 1 )
  • If T l 2 n   = (2n + 1 - 2  W l 2 n ) is a prime
then let
  V l 2 n = W l 2 n and     U l 2 n = T l 2 n
  • If T l 2 n is a composite number
then there exists an integer k 1 k n 3  
U l 2 n k + 2 k     P
then let
V l 2 n = V l 2 n k and   U l 2 n =   U l 2 n k + 2 k
▄ Using the same type of reasoning a generalization, the (BBG) conjecture of the following form can be validated
  • Let K and Q be two odd integers prime to each other:
For any integer n │ 2n   3 (K + Q) there exist two primes U b 2 n and V b 2 n verifying
K .   U b 2 n + Q .   V b 2 n = 2 n
  • Let K and Q be two integers of different parity prime to each other:
For any integer n │ 2n 3 (K + Q) there are two primes U b 2 n and   V b 2 n verifying
K . U b 2 n + Q V b 2 n = 2 n + 1
17.6 Remark.
GOLDBACH (-):
R 2 K = Inf (p ∈ P : p - 2K ∈ P ) and Q 2 K = Inf (p ∈ P : 2K + p ∈ P ) = R 2 K - 2K
GOLDBACH (+):
V 2 K = Sup (p ∈ P : 2K - p ∈ P ) and U 2 K = Inf (p ∈ P : 2K - p ∈ P ) = 2K - V 2 K (Is it possible to envisage a symmetry in the Goldbach triangle parametrized by arithmetic sequences between the representations of primes and integers ?)
17.7 The sequences ( W q 2 n ) generate all the G.D. and may enable us to better estimate the values of distribution function G of the Goldbach's Comet, p r o b a b l y o f t y p e : a 1 .E / l n 2 (E) < G(E) < a 2 .E / l n 2 (E), see Woon [48].

18. Conclusion

18.1 A recurrent and explicit Goldbach sequence ( G 2 n ) = (   U 2 n   ; V 2 n ) verifying
n ∈ N + 2 U 2 n , V 2 n P a n d U 2 n + V 2 n = 2n
has been developed using an simple and efficient "localised" algorithm.
18.2 The records of Silva [41] and Deshouillers, te Riele, Saouter [11] are beaten on a personal computer. Hundreds E.G.D. U 2 n and V 2 n   are obtained for values around 2n =   10 1000   , twenty-six around 2n =   10 2000   ,   seventy-five around 2n =   10 5000   and G.D. around 2n =   10 10000   for a computation time of less than three hours (see Sainty [37]).
18.3 For a given integer n ≥ 49 the evaluation of the terms U 2 n and V 2 n does not require the computing of all previous terms U 2 k and V 2 k │ 1   k < n - 1. We just need to know the terms satisfying
U 2 k 5. l n 1.3 ( 2 n ) and   2 n -   5. l n 1.3 ( 2 n )     V 2 k   2 n ( on average )
This property allows any E.G.D U 2 n and V 2 n to be calculated quite quickly, the upper limit being defined by the scientific software and the computer's ability to determine the largest prime preceding 2n - 2 (next or prevprime(2n - 2) function).
18.4 Therefore the (BBG), the (3L) and the binary Goldbach(- / +) conjectures "Any even integer greater than three is the sum and difference of two primes" are true.
In fact these two conjectures are intertwined.
