Almost a prime number recurrence relation

For the number of partitions of n into prime parts $a(n)$ it holds $$a(n)=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n q(k)a(n-k)\tag 1$$ where $q(n)$ the sum of all different prime factors of $n$. Due to https://oeis....

Relationship between Riemann Zeta function and Prime zeta function

In his paper, Daniel Grunberg shows a relationship between the Stirling Numbers of the first kind and the Harmonic numbers via series of partitions (see Equation 3.1 on Page 5 in the link above). If ...

Express number of partitions into prime numbers using partitions into natural numbers.

Let $P(n)$ is number of partitions of $n$ into natural numbers. $R(n)$ is number of partitions of $n$ into prime numbers. Is there any expression that relates $P(n)$ , and $R(n)$? I look for ...

Is every integer $\geq5$ the sum of two primes and a power of a prime?

Is every integer $\geq5$ the sum of two primes and a power of a prime (where $1$ is included in the prime powers)? I don't really expect someone to prove this here, but I wonder if the question has ...

Summation of a prime and a prime power

Is there an even number $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and two different primes $p,q<n$ which are not divisors of $n$, as well as $a,b \in \mathbb{N}$ with $a,b>1$, such that $$ n=q+p^{a}=p+q^{b} $$ ? I ...

The number of $n\in\mathbb{N}$ with $p(n)$ is prime

Let $p(n)$ denote the number of integer partitions of $n$ for $n\in\mathbb{N}$. Is it possible to list the cases where $p(n)$ is prime? Are such natural numbers finite (if so how to compute a bound) ...
