Strange and pseudo-differentiable functions with applications to prime partitions (2412.20102v2)

Abstract: Let $\mathfrak{p}{\mathbb{P}_r}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ into $r$-full primes. We use the Hardy-Littlewood circle method to find the asymptotic of $\mathfrak{p}{\mathbb{P}_r}(n)$ as $n \to \infty$. This extends previous results in the literature of partitions into primes. We also show an analogue result involving convolutions of von Mangoldt functions and the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. To handle the resulting non-principal major arcs we introduce the definition of strange functions and pseudo-differentiability.
