We compare the orders of magnitude of some invariants of $S$ with each other, e. g., the biggest atom $u$ of $S$ with $p$ itself: By Harald Helfgott (arXiv:1312.7748 [math.NT]), every odd integer $N$ greater than five can be written as the sum of three prime numbers. There is numerical evidence suggesting that the summands of $N$ always can be chosen between $\\frac N6$ and $\\frac N2$. This would imply that $u$ is less than $6p$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-04-23T06:02:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11D07", "20M14" ], "keywords": [ "integer sequences", "prime number", "biggest atom", "harald helfgott", "odd integer" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
