Romanov's theorem

Romanov initially stated that he had proven the statements "In jedem Intervall (0, x) liegen mehr als ax Zahlen, welche als Summe von einer Primzahl und einer k-ten Potenz einer ganzen Zahl darstellbar sind, wo a eine gewisse positive, nur von k abhängige Konstante bedeutet" and "In jedem Intervall
69: 406: 116:(0, x) liegen mehr als bx Zahlen, weiche als Summe von einer Primzahl und einer Potenz von a darstellbar sind. Hier ist a eine gegebene ganze Zahl und b eine positive Konstante, welche nur von a abhängt". These statements translate to "In every interval 1094: 464: 522: 1524:

wrote in 1849 that every odd number larger than 3 can be written as the sum of an odd prime and a power of 2. (He soon noticed a counterexample, namely 959.) This corresponds to the case of
