Hua's theorem with the primes in Shapiro prime sets (Q558275): Difference between revisions

The author shows that \textit{L. K. Hua}'s Goldbach type theorem [Q. J. Math., Oxford 9, 68--80 (1938; Zbl 0018.29404)] can be extended in terms of Shapiro's primes as follows: Let \(0<\gamma_i\leq1\), \(i=1,2,3\), \(0<\delta_i<1\), \(i=1,2\), satisfy \(8-4(\gamma_1+\gamma_2)<\delta_1<4\delta_2\) and \(9(1-\gamma_i)+12\delta_1<1\), \(i=1,2\), and \(58(1-\gamma_3)+59\delta_2<4\). Then for sufficiently large odd \(N\) the equation \(N=p_1+p_2+p_3^2\) is solvable in \(p_i\in P_{\gamma_i}\), \(i=1,2,3\), where \(P_\gamma\) is the set of primes of the form \(\lfloor n^{1/\gamma}\rfloor\). (In the statements of the Corollaries the primes are of the form \(\lfloor n^{1/\gamma}\rfloor\) instead of \(\lfloor n\rfloor^{1/\gamma}\).)
