Introduction
My main research interest is to find simpler proofs in different areas of mathematics. I have a lot of experience in teaching. I have published textbooks. From writing textbooks, I have acquired a lot of training in finding simpler proofs, and I became interested in exploring several areas of mathematics and in research work in finding simpler proofs.

Here we analyze three well-known conjectures: (i) the existence of infinitely many twin primes, (ii) Goldbach's strong conjecture, and (iii) Polignac's conjecture. We show that the three conjectures are related to each other. In particular, we see that in analysing the validity of Goldbach's strong conjecture, one must consider also the existence o...
In this paper we analyze the premise that Fermat numbers Fn = 2^(2^n) + 1 are not prime numbers for n ≥ 5. In particular, using Édouard Lucas' result, we initially show for n = 5 how one can write 2^(2^5) + 1 as something similar to a linear combination of certain powers of 2, such that one can write F5 as a product of two prime factors, written as...

Philosophical conclusions derived of the validity of this three conjectures, not included in the main article proving the three conjectures, because I think that it is not appropriated to mix a pure Mathematical proof with philosophical derived conclusions.
In this paper we perform a detailed analysis of Riemann’s hypothesis, dealing with the zeros of the analytically-extended zeta function. We use the functional equation ζ(s) = 2^s π^(s−1) sin(πs/2)Γ(1 − s)ζ(1 − s) for complex numbers s such that 0 < Re(s) < 1 and the reduction to the absurd method where we use an analytical study based on a complex...

In this paper we perform a detailed analysis of Riemann's hypothesis, dealing with the zeros of the analytically-extended zeta function. We use the functional equation ζ(s) = 2^s π^(s−1)sin(πs/2)Γ(1 − s)ζ(1 − s) for complex numbers s such that 0 < Re(s) < 1, as well as reduction to the absurd in combination with a deep numerical analysis, to show t...
This document discusses the ergonomic problems with currently available software products, and what in general is necessary to make an application pleasant to work with. The application of these principles to a new open-architecture user interface system, Views, is then described.
In this paper, we demonstrate the Collatz conjecture using the mathematical complete induction method. We show that this conjecture is satisfied for the first values of natural numbers, and in analyzing the sequence generated by odd numbers, we can deduce a formula for the general term of the Collatz sequence for any odd natural number n after seve...

This paper explains how to obtain the number Φ, using a square with side length equal to a, the right triangle with sides a/2 and a, and a circle with radius equal to the hypotenuse of this right triangle. In particular, from a square whose side length is equal to a, we will show how to obtain a segment b in such a way that the value of a/b is the...
In this article, we will analyze how to obtain pertinent Information in the form of Qualitative
Data graphically represented from unstructured Big Textual data. Unstructured data refers to
information that either does not have a pre-defined data model or is not organized in a
pre-defined manner (80-90% of all information). Obviously, it is not usef...

This document aims to show a medicinal herb, which began to be used in April (2020) in Africa, against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This herb is called Artemisia Annua or also Sweet Wormwood.
We talk about:
- What is this medicinal herb?. We will show some references and its main
properties.
- Which africans countries began to use it?. We will show the fi...
In this paper we analyze the possibility of the existence of infinite twin primes numbers, or on the contrary, if we can guarantee that there is a finite number of them. Using the formula 4((n − 1)! + 1) ≡ −n (mod n(n + 2)), satisfied if and only if (n, n + 2) are twin primes, and Wilson Theorem, we analyze what conditions the twin primes meet, and...

In this paper we show a demonstration which allow us to prove how the Fermat numbers 2^2^n + 1 are not prime numbers for n ≥ 5. In particular, usingÉdouardusing´usingÉdouard Lucas result, we show that for n ≥ 5, 2^2^n + 1 can be written as (k1 · 2^(n+2) + 1) · k2 for k1 and k2 positive integer numbers.
In structured indexes, classification systems, thesauri, conceptual structures or semantic networks, relationships are too often vague. For instance, in terminology, the relationships between concepts are often reduced to the distinction established by standard between hierarchical relationships (genus-species relationships and part/whole relations...
