A BSTRACT . We discuss the VC-dimension of a class of multiples of integers and primes (equivalently indicator functions) and demonstrate connections to prime counting functions. Additionally, we prove limit theorems for the behavior of an empirical risk minimization rule as well as the weights assigned to the output hypothesis in AdaBoost for these “prime-identifying” indicator functions, when we sample m n i.i.d. points uniformly from the integers { 2, . . . , n } .

An efficient learning algorithm with an absolute mistake bound of $k + \lfloor k\log (n\sqrt k ) \rfloor$ is given, where n is the maximum component of any tuple seen, and it is shown that this bound is approximately a $\log \log n$ factor larger than the lower bound on the worst case number of mistakes given by the VC dimension of lattices.
