Elementary Primes Counting Methods

Abstract

This work proposes elementary proofs of several related primes counting problems, based on an elementary weighted sieve. The subsets of primes considered here are the followings: the subset of twin primes PT = p and p + 2 are primes, the subset of Germain primes PG = p and 2p + 1 are primes, and the subset of quadratic primes Pf = p = n2 + 1 primes. These subsets of primes are widely believed to be infinite subsets of prime numbers.
