For an integer n≯1 letP(n) be the largest prime factor of n. We prove that there are infinitely many triplets of consecutive integers with descending largest prime factors, that is P(n - 1) ≯P(n)≯P(n+1) occurs for infinitely many integers n.

AbstractWe investigate conditions which ensure that systems of binomial polynomials with integer coefficients are simultaneously free of large prime factors. In particular, for each positive number ε, we show that there are infinitely many strings of consecutive integers of size about n, free of prime factors exceeding nε, with the length of the strings tending to infinity with speed log log log log n.

Let λ(n) denote the Liouville function, i.e. λ(n) = 1 if n has an even number of prime factors, and λ(n) = − 1 otherwise. It is natural to expect that the sequence λ(n) (n ≥ 1) behaves like a random sequence of ± signs. In particular, it seems highly plausible that for any choice of εi = ± 1 (i = 0,…, k) we have

Denote by [Formula: see text] (respectively, [Formula: see text]) the largest (respectively, the smallest) prime factor of the integer [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we prove a lower bound of almost-primes [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. As an application, we study two patterns on the largest prime factors of consecutive integers with one of which without small prime factor.

For fixed integers k and m, with k ≥m ≥ 2, there are only finitely many runs of m consecutive integers with no prime factor exceeding k. We obatin lower bounds for the last such run. Let g(k, m) be its smallest member. For 2 ≤ m ≤ 5 it is shown that g(k, m) > kc logloglogk holds for all sufficiently large k, where c is a constant depending only on m. We also obtain a number of lower bounds with explict ranges of validity. A typical result of this type g(k, 3) > k3 holds just if k ≥ 41.
