Inequalities For The Primes Counting Function

General Mathematics 2018-08-08 v1

Abstract

The prime counting function inequality π(x+y)<π(x)+π(y)\pi(x+y) < \pi(x)+\pi(y), which is known as Hardy-Littlewood conjecture, has been established for a variety of cases such as δxyx \delta x \leq y \leq x, where 0<δ10< \delta \leq 1, and xyxlogxloglogxx \leq y\leq x \log x \log \log x as x x \to \infty. The goal in note is to extend the inequality to the new larger ranges xlogcxyx\geq x \log^{-c}x\leq y \leq x, where c0c\geq 0 is a constant, unconditionally; and for x1/2log3xyx\geq x^{1/2} \log^3x\leq y \leq x, conditional on a standard conjecture.
