On the Firoozbakht's conjecture
Abstract
This paper proves Firoozbakht's conjecture using Rosser and Schoenfelds' inequality on the distribution of primes. This inequality is valid for all natural numbers . Firoozbakht's conjecture states that if and are consecutive prime numbers, then for every . Rosser's inequality for the th and th roots, changes from strictly increasing to strictly decreasing for . The inequality is considered for , i.e., , but since the inequalities for , are also required, these inequalities are explicitly proven as well. Silva has already verified Firoozbakht's conjecture up to , and the additional theorem is proven here that there is the smallest natural number, and . It is also shown that there is a unique one to one function, which maps each element to each element for every and . Finally, it is proved that there is a strictly decreasing sequence and Firoozbakht's conjecture would be true for all .
