近年来,人们多次尝试对小于等于给定整数\(n\)的素数之积进行估计。用\(\pi(n)\)表示上述素数之积,并按通常方式定义。对二项式系数和多项式系数的分析得出了诸如\(A(n)<4^n\)这样的结果,这是由埃尔德什(Erdős)和卡尔马(Kalmár)得出的(见[2])。莫泽(Moser)的一篇笔记[3]给出了\(A(n)<(3.37)^n\)的一个归纳证明,塞尔弗里奇(Selfridge,未发表)证明了\(A(n)<(3.05)^n\)。人们还知道一些更精确的结果,特别是在罗瑟(Rosser)和舍恩菲尔德(Schoenfeld)的一篇论文[4]中,他们证明了\(\Theta(n)<1.01624^n\);然而,他们的方法要深奥得多,涉及复变函数理论以及大量的计算。我们仅用初等方法将证明以下定理,该定理在很大程度上改进了[2]和[3]中的结果。
In recent years several attempts have been made to obtain estimates for the product of the primes less than or equal to a given integer n. Denote by the above-mentioned product and define as usual Analysis of binomial and multinomial coefficients has led to results such as A(n)<4n, due to Erdôs and Kalmar (see [2]). A note by Moser [3] gave an inductive proof of A(n)<(3.37)n, and Selfridge (unpublished) proved A(n)<(3.05)n More accurate results are known, in particular those in a paper of Rosser and Schoenfeld [4] in which they prove Θ(n)< 1.01624n; however their methods are considerably deeper and involve the theory of a complex variable as well as heavy computations. Using only elementary methods we will prove the following theorem, which improves the results of [2] and [3] considerably.
