Posting in MO since this questions has been unanswered in MSE for 3 months. Let $p_n$ be the $n$-th prime and $q_n$ be largest among all the prime factors of the composite numbers between $p_n$ and $...

Consider all Pythagorean triangles $a^2 + b^2 = p^2$ in which the hypotenuse $p$ is a prime number. Let $h(x) = \sum_{p \le x}p^2$, $a(x) = \sum_{p \le x}ab$ and $r(x) = \sum_{p \le x}(a+b)^2$. Is it ...

Define $f(n) = |\{m : m\le n, \exists k \text{ s.t. }\phi(k) = m\}|$. Clearly, $f(n)\le \left\lfloor \frac{n}{2}\right\rfloor + 1$ since $\phi(n)$ is even for all $n > 2$. Is $\limsup_{n\...
