Further we prove a series of results concerning Mandl's inequality on the sum of the first $n$ prime numbers. We use these results to find new explicit estimates for the sum of the first $n$ prime numbers, which improve the currently best known estimates.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-06-22T10:06:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11L20", "11N37", "11A41" ], "keywords": [ "prime numbers", "accurate asymptotic formula", "results concerning mandls inequality", "general asymptotic formula", "explicit estimates" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
