The purpose of this book is to show that the method of concatenation can be a powerful tool in number theory and, in particular, in obtaining possible infinite sequences of primes. Part One of this book, “Primes in Smarandache concatenated sequences and Smarandache-Coman sequences of primes” , contains 12 papers on various sequences of primes that are distinguished among the terms of the well known Smarandache concatenated sequences. The sequences presented in this part are related to concatenation in three different ways: the sequence is obtained by the method of concatenation but the operation applied on its terms is some other arithmetical operation; the sequence is not obtained by concatenation but the operation applied on its terms is concatenation or both the sequence and the operation applied on its terms (in order to find sequences of primes) are using the method of concatenation. Part Two of this book, “Sequences of primes obtained by the method of concatenation” brings together 51 articles which aim, using the mentioned method, to highlight sequences of numbers which are rich in primes or are liable to lead to large primes. The method of concatenation is applied to different classes of numbers, e.g. Poulet numbers, twin primes, reversible primes, triangular numbers, repdigits, factorial numbers, fibonorial numbers, primordial numbers in order to obtain sequences of primes.

Part One of this book, “Sequences of primes and conjectures on them”, brings together thirty-two papers regarding sequences of primes, sequences of squares of primes, sequences of certain types of semiprimes, also few types of pairs, triplets and quadruplets of primes and conjectures on all of these sequences. There are also few papers regarding possible methods to obtain large primes or very large numbers with very few prime factors, some of them based on concatenation, some of them on other arithmetic operations. It is also introduced a new notion: “Smarandache-Coman sequences of primes”, defined as “all sequences of primes obtained from the terms of Smarandache sequences using any arithmetical operation” (for instance, the sequence of primes obtained concatenating to the right with the digit one the terms of Smarandache consecutive numbers sequence). Part Two of this book, “Sequences of Fermat pseudoprimes and conjectures on them”, brings together seventeen papers on sequences of Poulet numbers and Carmichael numbers, i.e. the Fermat pseudoprimes to base 2 and the absolute Fermat pseudoprimes, two classes of numbers that fascinated the author for long time. Among these papers there is a list of thirty-six polynomials and formulas that generate sequences of Fermat pseudoprimes. Part Three of this book, “Prime producing quadratic polynomials”, contains three papers which list some already known such polynomials, that generate more than 20, 30 or even 40 primes in a row, and few such polynomials discovered by the author himself (in a review of records in the field of prime generating polynomials, written by Dress and Landreau, two French mathematicians well known for records in this field, review that can be found on the web adress , the author – he says this proudly, of course – is mentioned with 18 prime producing quadratic polynomials). One of the papers proposes seventeen generic formulas that may generate prime-producing quadratic polynomials.

Part One of this book of collected papers brings together papers regarding conjectures on primes, twin primes, squares of primes, semiprimes, different types of pairs of primes, recurrent sequences, other sequences of integers related to primes created through concatenation and in other ways. Part Two brings together several articles presenting the notions of c-primes, m-primes, c-composites and m-composites (c/m integers), also the notions of g-primes, s-primes, g-composites and s-composites (g/s integers) and show some of the applications of these notions. Part Three presents the notions of “Mar constants” and “Smarandache-Coman constants”, useful to highlight the periodicity of some infinite sequences of positive integers (sequences of squares, cubes, triangualar numbers) , respectively in the analysis of Smarandache concatenated sequences. Part Four presents the notion of Smarandache-Coman sequences, id est the sequences of primes formed through different arithmetical operations on the terms of Smarandache concatenated sequences. Part Five presents the notion of Smarandache-Coman function, a function based on the Smarandache function which seems to be particularly interesting: beside other notable characteristics, it seems to have as values all the prime numbers and, more than that, they seem to appear, leaving aside the non-prime values, in natural order. This book of collected papers seeks to expand the knowledge on some well known classes of numbers and also to define new classes of primes or classes of integers directly related to primes.

In two of my previous published books, “Two hundred conjectures and one hundred and fifty open problems on Fermat pseudoprimes”, respectively “Conjectures on primes and Fermat pseudoprimes, many based on Smarandache function”, I already expressed my passion for integer numbers, especially for primes and Fermat pseudoprimes, fascinating numbers that seem to be a little bit more willing to let themselves ordered and understood than the prime numbers.

It is always difficult to talk about arithmetic, because those who do not know what is about, nor do they understand in few sentences, no matter how inspired these might be, and those who know what is about, do no need to be told what is about. Arithmetic is that branch of mathematics that you keep it in your soul and in your mind, not in your suitcase or laptop. Part One of this book of collected papers aims to show new applications of Smarandache function in the study of some well known classes of numbers, like Sophie Germain primes, Poulet numbers, Carmichael numbers ets. Beside the well-known notions of number theory, we defined in these papers the following new concepts: “Smarandache-Coman divisors of order k of a composite integer n with m prime factors”, “Smarandache-Coman congruence on primes”, “Smarandache-Germain primes”, Coman-Smarandache criterion for primality”, “Smarandache-Korselt criterion”, “Smarandache-Coman constants”. Part Two of this book brings together several papers on few well known and less known types of primes.

Analytic combinatorics aims to enable precise quantitative predictions of the properties of large combinatorial structures. The theory has emerged over recent decades as essential both for the analysis of algorithms and for the study of scientific models in many disciplines, including probability theory, statistical physics, computational biology, and information theory. With a careful combination of symbolic enumeration methods and complex analysis, drawing heavily on generating functions, results of sweeping generality emerge that can be applied in particular to fundamental structures such as permutations, sequences, strings, walks, paths, trees, graphs and maps. This account is the definitive treatment of the topic. The authors give full coverage of the underlying mathematics and a thorough treatment of both classical and modern applications of the theory. The text is complemented with exercises, examples, appendices and notes to aid understanding. The book can be used for an advanced undergraduate or a graduate course, or for self-study.

Florentin Smarandache is an incredible source of ideas, only some of which are mathematical in nature. Amarnath Murthy has published a large number of papers in the broad area of Smarandache Notions, which are math problems whose origin can be traced to Smarandache. This book is an edited version of many of those papers, most of which appeared in Smarandache Notions Journal, and more information about SNJ is available at http://www.gallup.unm.edu/~smarandache/ . The topics covered are very broad, although there are two main themes under which most of the material can be classified. A Smarandache Partition Function is an operation where a set or number is split into pieces and together they make up the original object. For example, a Smarandache Repeatable Reciprocal partition of unity is a set of natural numbers where the sum of the reciprocals is one. The first chapter of the book deals with various types of partitions and their properties and partitions also appear in some of the later sections.The second main theme is a set of sequences defined using various properties. For example, the Smarandache n2n sequence is formed by concatenating a natural number and its double in that order. Once a sequence is defined, then some properties of the sequence are examined. A common exploration is to ask how many primes are in the sequence or a slight modification of the sequence. The final chapter is a collection of problems that did not seem to be a precise fit in either of the previous two categories. For example, for any number d, is it possible to find a perfect square that has digit sum d? While many results are proven, a large number of problems are left open, leaving a great deal of room for further exploration.

This book is a gentle introduction to the enumerative part of combinatorics suitable for study at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. In addition to covering all the standard techniques for counting combinatorial objects, the text contains material from the research literature which has never before appeared in print, such as the use of quotient posets to study the Möbius function and characteristic polynomial of a partially ordered set, or the connection between quasisymmetric functions and pattern avoidance. The book assumes minimal background, and a first course in abstract algebra should suffice. The exposition is very reader friendly: keeping a moderate pace, using lots of examples, emphasizing recurring themes, and frankly expressing the delight the author takes in mathematics in general and combinatorics in particular.
