Abstract

There exist cases when experiments with the computational part of the research could lead to new theoretical proofs. New hypotheses are suggested in concern with the Hardy–Littlewood conjecture that there exist infinitely many prime k-tuples. Although all the details on the presented investigation are given in another scope papers (applied mathematical logic), the formulation of the presented hypotheses has an independent role. Strong relations are revealed with the investigations from Number Theory period before the Hardy and Littlewood down to the Greek system. The introduced formulas help to establish upper and lower bounds for different constellations of prime k-tuples.
