Advances in additive number theory
Abstract
We obtain sufficient conditions to know if given a positive even integer number and a set of positive integer numbers being all even or all odd, such a number can be expressed as sum of two elements of this set. As consequence we obtain a result which, when applied to the prime numbers set, would prove Goldbach's Conjecture provided that certain conditions are satisfied. These hypothesis include Prime Consecutive Conjecture, which is a generalized form of Twin Prime Conjecture. In addition, we extend these results to sets of positive real numbers, even for two different sets. We also obtain a recurrent approximation of \pi(x) for enough large real x, being \pi the distribution function of the prime number set, which uses whichever expression of x as product of enough large factors. We also state this approximation in a more general context, give upper and lower bounds for the error, and show that this approximation is asymptotically equivalent to \pi(x).
