An asymptotic formula for the number of prime solutions for multivariate linear equations

Abstract

In this paper, we study the multivariate linear equations with arbitrary positive integral coefficients. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we obtained the asymptotic formula for the linear equations with more than five prime variables. This asymptotic formula is composed of three parts, that is, the first main term, the explicit second main term and the error term. Among them, the first main term is similar with the former one, the explicit second main term is relative to the non-trivial zeros of Dirichlet L-functions, and our error term improves the former one.
