Abstract
Let denote the largest prime factor of . One of Erd\H{o}s and Tur\'an's conjectures asserts that the asymptotic density of integers satisfying is 1/2. In this paper, we prove that this density is larger than 0.280, which improves the previous result 0.2017 by L\"u and Wang (2025). We also prove that there exists a positive density of such that . Define . For , we also show that \begin{align*} \mathop{\lim \sup}_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{T_c(x)}{\pi(x)}\leq \min\left(-\frac{7}{2}\log c,\frac{1-\delta}{2c}\right), \end{align*} where .
