Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Number Theory and Smarandache Problems.

The books are published by Smarandache Notions Journal. It is an electronic and hard-copy journal of research in mathematics. Besides this, occasionally It publishes papers of research in physics, philosophy, literary essays and creation, linguistics, and art work. Initially the journal was called "Smarandache Function Journal". Since 1996 to present the original journal was extended to the "Smarandache Notions Journal". It is annually published in the United States by the American Research Press in 1000 copies and on the internet.

Papers on the mean value of the Smarandache LCM function, Pseudo-Smarandache-Squarefree function, the irrational root sieve sequence, assessment method for weight of experts at interval judgment, miscellaneous remark on problems involving Mersenne primes, a successive linear programming algorithm for SDP relaxation of binary quadratic programming, and other similar topics. Contributors: X. Pan, B. Liu, H. Liu, A. R. Gilani, B. N. Waphare, N. T. Quang, P. D. Tuan, S. Hussain, B. Ahmad, A. Jing , F. Liang, J. Wang, and many others.

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.

Papers concerning any of the Smarandache type functions, sequences, numbers, algorithms, inferior/superior f-parts, magic squares, palindromes, functional iterations, semantic paradoxes, Non-Euclidean geometries, manifolds, conjectures, open problems, algebraic structures, neutrosophy, neutrosophic logic/set/probability, hypothesis that there is no speed barrier in the universe, quantum paradoxes, etc. have been selected for this volume. Contributors are from Australia, China, England, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Morocco, Portugal, Romania, Spain, USA. Most of the papers are in English, a few of them are in Spanish, Portuguese, or German.
