We derive explicit upper bounds for various functions counting primes in arithmetic progressions. By way of example, if $q$ and $a$ are integers with $\gcd(a,q)=1$ and $3 \leq q \leq 10^5$, and $\theta(x;q,a)$ denotes the sum of the…

In this paper we give new estimates for integrals involving some arithmetic functions defined over prime numbers. The main focus here is on the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ and the Chebyshev $\vartheta$-function. Some of these estimates…

We provide for a wide class of zero-free regions an upper bound for the error term in the Prime Number Theorem, refining works of Pintz (1980), Johnston (2024), and R\'ev\'esz (2024). Our method does not only apply to the Riemann zeta…

The primary purpose of this article is to study the asymptotic and numerical estimates in detail for higher degree polynomials in $\pi(x)$ having a general expression of the form, \begin{align*} P(\pi(x)) - \frac{e x}{\log x} Q(\pi(x/e)) +…

The aim of this paper is to give a direct interpretation of the validity of the Riemann hypothesis up to a certain height $T$ in terms of the prime-counting function $\pi(x)$. This is done by proving the well-known explicit Schoenfeld bound…

In this paper we first establish new explicit estimates for Chebyshev's $\vartheta$-function. Applying these new estimates, we derive new upper and lower bounds for some functions defined over the prime numbers, for instance the prime…

We note that the inequalities $0.92 \frac{x}{\log(x)} <\pi(x)< 1.11 \frac{x}{\log(x)}$ do not hold for all $x\ge 30$, contrary to some references. These estimates on $\pi(x)$ came up recently in papers on algebraic number theory.

It is well known that the distribution of the prime numbers plays a central role in number theory. It has been known, since Riemann's memoir in 1860, that the distribution of prime numbers can be described by the zero-free region of the…

Using a smoothing function and recent knowledge on the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function, we compute pairs of $(\Delta,x_0)$ such that for all $x \geq x_0$ there exists at least one prime in the interval $(x(1 - \Delta^{-1}), x]$.

In this paper we establish a number of new estimates concerning the prime counting function \pi(x), which improve the estimates proved in the literature. As an application, we deduce a new result concerning the existence of prime numbers in…

We will provide a new type of zero-density estimate for $\zeta(s)$ when $\sigma$ is sufficiently close to $1$. In particular, we will show that $N(\sigma,T)$ can be bounded by an absolute constant when $\sigma$ is sufficiently close to the…

The function $\epsilon(x)=\mbox{li}(x)-\pi(x)$ is known to be positive up to the (very large) Skewes' number. Besides, according to Robin's work, the functions $\epsilon_{\theta}(x)=\mbox{li}[\theta(x)]-\pi(x)$ and…

Let $\sigma+i\gamma$ be a zero of the Riemann zeta function to the right of the line $\frac{1}{2}+it$. We show that this zero causes large oscillations of the error term of the prime number theorem. Our result is close to optimal both in…

We provide explicit upper bounds of the order $\log t/\log\log t$ for $|\zeta'(s)/\zeta(s)|$ and $|1/\zeta(s)|$ when $\sigma$ is close to $1$. These improve existing bounds for $\zeta(s)$ on the $1$-line.

This article provides a proof of the famous \textit{Prime Number Theorem} by establishing an analogous statement of the same in terms of the second \textit{Chebyshev Function} $\psi(x)$. We shall be extensively using complex analytic…

We denote by $\pi\left( x\right) $ the usual prime counting function and let $li\left( x\right) $ the logarithmic integral of $x$. In 1966, R.S. Lehman came up with a new approach and an effective method for finding an upper bound where it…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we derive explicit bounds for the error terms in short interval analogues of the prime number theorem and Mertens' theorems using a smoothing argument. Our results improve upon previous bounds in both…

In this article we provide new explicit Chebyshev's bounds for the prime counting function $\psi(x)$. The proof relies on two new arguments: smoothing the prime counting function which allows to generalize the previous approaches, and a new…

The prime-counting function $\pi(x)$ which computes the number of primes smaller or equal to a given real number has a long-standing interest in number theory. The present manuscript proposes a method to compute $\pi(x)$ with time…

We establish why li(x) outperforms x/log x as an estimate for the prime counting function pi(x). The result follows from subdividing the natural numbers into the intervals s_k :={p_k^2,..., p_{k+1}^2-1}, k>=1, each being fully sieved by the…
