Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Simple and Accurate Relation Between the Logarithm Integral Li(x) and the Primes Counting Function π(x) is Derived Making use of the O.E.I.S. Prime Numbers “Sequences”Paolo AscarelliToday the prime numbers π(x) contained under the number x appears to be somewhat overestimated by the logarithm integral function Li(x) and underestimated by the function x/ln(x), both originally proposed by Gauss around 1792-1796. However, a simple and accurate expression, relating Li(x) and π(x), may be derived using the data reported on the O.E.I.S. “Sequences”. This relation can also suggest … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 30 Sep 2021 · 7,742 accessesView PDFCite
