Using a recent verification of the Riemann hypothesis up to height $3\cdot 10^{12}$, we provide strong estimates on $\pi(x)$ and other prime counting functions for finite ranges of $x$. In particular, we get that…
We show the following bounds on the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ using principles from analytic number theory, giving an estimate: $$2 \log 2 \geq \limsup_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\pi(x)}{x / \log x} \geq \liminf_{x \rightarrow…
The prime counting function inequality $\pi(x+y) < \pi(x)+\pi(y)$, which is known as Hardy-Littlewood conjecture, has been established for a variety of cases such as $ \delta x \leq y \leq x$, where $0< \delta \leq 1$, and $x \leq y\leq x…
Using some simple combinatorial arguments, we establish some new estimates for the prime counting function and its allied functions. In particular we show that \begin{align}\pi(x)=\Theta(x)+O\bigg(\frac{1}{\log x}\bigg), \nonumber…
The recent technique for estimating lower bounds of the prime counting function $\pi(x)=#\{p \leq x: p\text{ prime}\}$ by means of the irrationality measures $\mu(\zeta(s)) \geq 2$ of special values of the zeta function claims that $\pi(x)…
In this paper we establish a number of new estimates concerning the prime counting function \pi(x), which improve the estimates proved in the literature. As an application, we deduce a new result concerning the existence of prime numbers in…
In this note, we show that there are many infinity positive integer values of $n$ in which, the following inequality holds $$ \left\lfloor{1/2}(\frac{(n+1)^2}{\log(n+1)}-\frac{n^2}{\log n})-\frac{\log^2 n}{\log\log…
This article provides a proof that the Ramanujan's Inequality given by, $$\pi(x)^2 < \frac{e x}{\log x} \pi\Big(\frac{x}{e}\Big)$$ holds unconditionally for every $x\geq \exp(43.5102147)$. In case for an alternate proof of the result stated…
Prime number theorem asserts that (at large $x$) the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ is approximately the logarithmic integral $\mbox{li}(x)$. In the intermediate range, Riemann prime counting function $\mbox{Ri}^{(N)}(x)=\sum_{n=1}^N…
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…
By combining and improving recent techniques and results, we provide explicit estimates for the error terms $|\pi(x)-\text{li}(x)|$, $|\theta(x)-x|$ and $|\psi(x)-x|$ appearing in the prime number theorem. For example, we show for all…
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…
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…
We present an improved version of the analytic method for calculating $\pi(x)$, the number of prime numbers not exceeding $x$. We implemented this method in cooperation with J. Franke, T. Kleinjung and A. Jost and calculated the value…
We provide very effective methods to convert both asymptotic and explicit numeric bounds on the prime counting function $\psi(x)$ to bounds of the same type on both $\theta(x)$ and $\pi(x)$. This follows up our previous work on $\psi(x)$ in…
In this paper a new integral for the remainder of $\pi(x)$ is obtained. It is proved that there is an infinite set of the formulae containing miscellaneous parts of this integral.
We prove some results concerning the distribution of primes on the Riemann hypothesis. First, we prove the explicit result that there exists a prime in the interval $(x-\frac{4}{\pi} \sqrt{x} \log x,x]$ for all $x \geq 2$; this improves a…
The second Hardy-Littlewood conjecture asserts that the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ satisfies the subadditive inequality \begin{align*} \pi(x+y)\leqslant \pi(x)+\pi (y) \end{align*} for all integers $x,y\geqslant 2$. By linking the…
This paper describes recent advances in the combinatorial method for computing $\pi(x)$, the number of primes $\leq x$. In particular, the memory usage has been reduced by a factor of $\log x$, and modifications for shared- and…
Ramanujan proved that the inequality $\pi(x)^2 < \frac{e x}{\log x} \pi\Big(\frac{x}{e}\Big)$ holds for all sufficiently large values of $x$. Using an explicit estimate for the error in the prime number theorem, we show unconditionally that…
