## On the almost Goldbach problem of Linnik.(English)Zbl 0979.11051

In 1953 Yu. V. Linnik [Mat. Sb., Nov. Ser. 32 (74), 3-60 (1953; Zbl 0051.03402)] showed that every large even integer can be written as a sum of two odd primes and a bounded number of powers of 2. Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, the authors show that, for $$k\geq 200$$, every even $$N\geq N_k$$ can be written as a sum of two odd primes and at most $$k$$ powers of 2. They follow the original argument of Linnik, combined with a careful treatment of the numerical constant.
