What's all this about Bunyakovsky's property? Charles Matthews 18:56, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right, it is covered by the discussion of fixed prime divisors at Schinzel's hypothesis H. Since that comes up on both pages, perhaps it could be wiith advantage moved to integer-valued polynomial. Charles Matthews 19:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a formulation for Subsets?

[edit]

I'd like an approximate number of simultaneous solutions of 7 out of the first 8,9,10,11,12 of a sequence of polynomials being prime. Is there a formulation in the literature of an expansion of the Bateman-Horn conjecture to cover this question and should it be included in the article if it does exist? For me, the question is apropos of the sequence {x2n+xn-1} applied to n=1,2,..., where the situation is that 10 is the only known x such that seven of the first nine n are prime, nine in fact being (right now) replaceable by up to twelve.Julzes (talk) 01:17, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An example is now known for 7 out of 10, the polynomial given being prime for n=1 through 6 for the first time with the value x=610357585, where n=10 also gives a prime.Julzes (talk) 05:11, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You could use inclusion-exclusion on Bateman-Horn to count the number of (conjectured, asymptotic) solutions. CRGreathouse (t | c) 14:35, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Error

[edit]

There is an error in the final forumula: on the LHS, the argument is "x", on the right it is "n". I suppose, some one mixed them up? 131.130.16.17 (talk) 13:30, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Results

[edit]

What are the known results when prime values are replaced with almost-prime values? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barylior (talkcontribs) 21:53, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
