Abstract
The article deals with two problems of approximating a given positive number 𝑁 by the sum of two primes, and by the sum of a prime and two squares of primes.
In 2001, R. Baker, G. Harman, and J. Pintz proved for the number of solutions of the inequality |𝑝 − 𝑁| ⩽ 𝐻 in primes 𝑝 a lower bound for 𝐻 ⩾ 𝑁^(21/40+𝜀), where 𝜀 is an arbitrarily small positive number. Using this result and the density technique, in this paper we prove a lower bound for the number of solutions of the inequality |𝑝_1 + 𝑝_2 − 𝑁| ⩽ 𝐻 in prime numbers 𝑝_1, 𝑝_2 for 𝐻 ⩾ 𝑁^(7/80+𝜀.)
Also based on the density technique, we prove a lower bound for the number of solutions of the inequality |𝑝^2_1+ 𝑝^2_2+ 𝑝_3 − 𝑁|⩽ 𝐻 in prime numbers 𝑝_1, 𝑝_2 and 𝑝_3 for 𝐻 ⩾ 𝑁^(7/72+𝜀).
