Arithmetic is like numbers spinning in your head faster and faster until you blow up with the answer. KABOOM!! Then you sit back down and begin the next problem. (Alexander Nathanson) Number theory is an ancient subject, but we still cannot answer many simplest and most natural questions about the integers. Some old problems have been solved, but more arise. All the research for these ancient or new problems implicated and are still promoting the development of number theory and mathematics. American-Romanian number theorist Florentin Smarandache introduced hundreds of interest sequences and arithmetical functions, and presented many problems and conjectures in his life. In 1991, he published a book named Only problems, Not solutions!. He presented 105 unsolved arithmetical problems and conjectures about these functions and sequences in it. Already many researchers studied these sequences and functions from his book, and obtained important results. This book, Research on Smarandache Problems in Number Theory (Collected papers), contains 41 research papers involving the Smarandache sequences, functions, or problems and conjectures on them. All these papers are original. Some of them treat the mean value or hybrid mean value of Smarandache type functions, like the famous Smarandache function, Smarandache ceil function, or Smarandache primitive function. Others treat the mean value of some famous number theoretic functions acting on the Smarandache sequences, like k-th root sequence, k-th complement sequence, or factorial part sequence, etc. There are papers that study the convergent property of some infinite series involving the Smarandache type sequences. Some of these sequences have been first investigated too. In addition, new sequences as additive complement sequences are first studied in several papers of this book. Most authors of these papers are my students. After this chance, I hope they will be more interested in the mysterious integer and number theory! All the papers are supported by the N. S. F. of P. R. China (10271093). So I would like to thank the Department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences of N. S. F. C. I would also like to thank my students Xu Zhefeng and Zhang Xiaobeng for their careful typeset and design works. My special gratitude is due to all contributors of this book for their great help to the publication of their papers and their detailed comments and corrections. More future papers by my students will focus on the Smarandache notions, such as sequences, functions, constants, numbers, continued fractions, infinite products, series, etc. in number theory!
