This study delves into a unique binary pattern found within the wellknown 3n+1 problem, or Collatz conjecture. Through careful analysis of the steps in the 3n+1 sequence, we have discovered a special binary representation that captures the behavior of all positive integers undergoing this transformation. With this new understanding, we have provided a solid proof confirming the validity of the 3n+1 problem for all positive integers. Our method goes beyond the need for extensive computational confirmation, providing a simple and elegant resolution to a long-standing mathematical mystery.

The Diophantine equation for which p is prime 2^n = p^2 + 7 and n is integers with p > 0, is examined in this work. It is demonstrated by examining the characteristics of the equation that the only solutions meeting these requirements are p = 3 with n = 5 and p = 5 with n = 7. In order to analyze the above equation, it is necessary to look at the properties of primes and how they relate to powers of two. These results advance our knowledge of prime numbers and how they behave in certain mathematical problems.

Sums of M consecutive squared integers (a+i)^2 equaling squared integers (for a<=1, 0<= i<= M-1) yield remarkable regular linear features when plotting values of M in function of a. These features correspond to groupings of pairs of a values for successive same values of M around straight lines of equation mu*M = 2a and are characterized in this paper for rational values of mu.

Cognitive linguistics is founded on the assumption that language is a reflection of universal cognitive principles, implying that all cognitive processes share a common origin. This assumption is known as the 'Cognitive Commitment.' The present article examines the sensory schema hypothesis, which traces all forms of expression back to sensations. This theoretical framework integrates the physicality of the body with sensations that underlie human experiences and their linguistic and non-linguistic expressions. By challenging the traditional dichotomy between mind and body, it provides a more integrated understanding.

Successive-addition-of-digits-of-a-number(SADN) refers to the process of adding up the digits of an integer number until a single digit is obtained. Concept of SADN has been occasionally identified but seldom employed in extensive mathematical applications. This paper discusses SADN and its properties in terms of addition, subtraction and multiplication. Further, the paper applies the multiplication-property of SADN to understand the distribution of prime numbers. For this purpose the paper introduces three series of numbers -S1, S3 and S5 series- into which all odd numbers can be placed, depending on their SADN and the rationale of such classification. Extending the analysis the paper explains how composite numbers of the S1 and S5 series can be derived. Based on this discussion it concludes that even as the concept of SADN is rather simple in its formulation and appears as an obvious truism but a profound analysis of the properties of SADN in terms of fundamental mathematical functions reveals that SADN holds a noteworthy position in number theory and may have significant implications for unfolding complex mathematical questions like understanding the distribution of prime numbers and Goldbach-problem.

This paper discusses a possible approach to validate the Goldbach conjucture which states that all even numbers can be expressed as a summation of two prime numbers. For this purpose the paper begins with the concept of successive-addition-of-digits-of-an-integer-number (SADN) and its properties in terms of basic algebraic functions like addition, multiplication and subtraction. This concept of SADN forms the basis for classifying all odd numbers into 3 series- the S1, S3 and S5 series- which comprise of odd numbers of SADN(7,4,1), SADN(3,9,6) and SADN(5,2,8) respectively and follow a cyclical order. The S1 and S5 series are of interest in the analysis since they include both prime and composite numbers while the S3 series exclusively consists of composite numbers. Furthermore, the multiplicative property of SADN shows why composites on the S1 series are derived as products of intra-series elements of the S1 and S5 series while composites on the S5 series are derived as products of inter-series elements of the S1 and S5 series. The role of SADN is also important in determining the relevant series for identifying the combination of primes for a given even number since it shows why such combinations for even numbers of SADN(1,4,7) will be found on the S5 series while those for even numbers of SADN(2,5,8) will lie on the S1 series and both the series have a role to play in identifying the prime number combinations for even numbers with SADN(3,6,9). Thereafter, the analysis moves to calculating the total number of acceptable combinations for a given even number that would include combinations in the nature of two composites (c1+c2), one prime and one composite (p+c) and two primes (p1+p2). A cyclical pattern followed by even numbers is also discussed in this context. Identifying the c1+c2 and p+c combinations and thereafter subtracting them from the total number of combinations will yield the number of p1+p2 combinations. For this purpose the paper discusses a general method to calculate the number of composites on the S1 and S5 series for a given number and provides a detailed method for deriving the number of c1+c2 combinations. The paper presents this analysis as a proof to validate the Goldbach conjecture. Since even numbers can be of SADN 1 to 9 and the relation between nTc (i.e. total number of acceptable combinations) and nc(i.e. number of composites) for all even numbers can either be of nTc > nc or nTc ≤ nc, the paper shows that the Goldbach conjecture is true for both these categories of even numbers. In this manner this analysis is totally inclusive of all even numbers in general terms and since the analysis of every even number is common in methodology but unique in compilation, apart from being totally inclusive, it is also mutually exclusive in nature. This proves that the Goldbach conjecture which states that all even numbers can be expressed as atleast one combination of two prime numbers holds true for all even numbers, across all categories possible. Additionally this approach proves that the identification of p1+p2 combinations which would validate the Goldbach conjecture lies in the identification of c1+c2 combinations.

We prove: (1) the set of all Diophantine equations which have at most finitely many solutions in non-negative integers is not recursively enumerable, (2) the set of all Diophantine equations which have at most finitely many solutions in positive integers is not recursively enumerable, (3) the set of all Diophantine equations which have at most finitely many integer solutions is not recursively enumerable, (4) analogous theorems hold for Diophantine equations D(x₁, …, x_p) = 0, where p ∈ N\{0} and for every i ∈ {1, …, p} the polynomial D(x₁, …, x_p) involves a monomial M with a non-zero coefficient such that x_i divides M, (5) the set of all Diophantine equations which have at most k variables (where k ≥ 9) and at most finitely many solutions in non-negative integers is not recursively enumerable.

Matiyasevich's theorem states that there is no algorithm to decide whether or not a given Diophantine equation has a solution in non-negative integers. Smorynski's theorem states that the set of all Diophantine equations which have at most finitely many solutions in non-negative integers is not recursively enumerable. We prove: (1) Smorynski's theorem easily follows from Matiyasevich's theorem, (2 ) Hilbert's Tenth Problem for Q has a negative solution if and only if the set of all Diophantine equations with a finite number of rational solutions is not recursively enumerable.

Let  β= (((24!)!)!)!, and let {${\mathcal P}_{n^2+1}$} denote the set of all primes of the form {$n^2+1$}. Let ${\mathcal M}$ denote the set of all positive multiples of elements of the set {${\mathcal P}_{n^2+1} \cap (\beta,\infty)$}. The set {${\mathcal X}=\{0,\ldots,\beta\} \cup {\mathcal M}$} satisfies the following conditions: (1) ${\rm card}({\mathcal X})$ is greater than a huge positive integer and it is conjectured that ${\mathcal X}$ is infinite, (2)} we do not know any algorithm deciding the finiteness of ${\mathcal X}$, (3)~a~known and short algorithm for every {$n \in N$} decides whether or not {$n \in {\mathcal X}$}, (4) a known and short algorithm returns an integer~$n$ such that ${\mathcal X}$ is infinite if and only if ${\mathcal X}$ contains an element greater than $n$. The following problem is open: {\em simply define a set {${\mathcal X} \subseteq N$} such that ${\mathcal X}$ satisfies conditions (1)-(4), and \underline{we do not know any representation of~~${\mathcal X}$~~as a finite union of sets whose definitions are simpler than} \underline{the definition of ${\mathcal X}$}} {\tt (5)}. Let {$f(1)=2$}, {$f(2)=4$}, and let {$f(n+1)=f(n)!$} for every integer {$n \geqslant 2$}. For a positive integer $n$, let {$\Psi_n$} denote the following statement: {\em if a system of equations ${\mathcal S} \subseteq \Bigl\{x_i!=x_k: i,k \in \{1,\ldots,n\}\Bigr\} \cup \Bigl\{x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in \{1,\ldots,n\}\Bigr\}$ has only finitely many solutions in positive integers \mbox{$x_1,\ldots,x_n$}, then each such solution \mbox{$(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$} satisfies {$x_1,\ldots,x_n \leqslant f(n)$}.} We prove that for every statement $\Psi_n$ the bound {$f(n)$} cannot be decreased. The author's guess is that the statements {$\Psi_1,\ldots,\Psi_9$} are true. We prove that the statement $\Psi_9$ implies that the set ${\mathcal X}$ of all {non-negative} integers $k$ whose number of digits belongs to {${\mathcal P}_{n^2+1}$} satisfies conditions {\tt (1)-(5)}.
