Résumé

We present several inequalities involving the prime-counting function $π (x)$ . Here, we give two examples of our results. We show that

\frac{16}{9} π (x) π (y) \leq π^{2} (x + y)

is valid for all integers $x, y \geq 2$ . The constant factor $16 / 9$ is the best possible. The special case $x = y$ leads to

\frac{4}{3} \leq \frac{π (2 x)}{π (x)} (x = 2, 3, ...),

where the lower bound $4 / 3$ is sharp. This complements Landau’s well-known inequality

\frac{π (2 x)}{π (x)} \leq 2 (x = 2, 3, ...) .

Moreover, we prove that the inequality

{(2 \frac{π (x + y)}{x + y})}^{s} \leq {(\frac{π (x)}{x})}^{s} + {(\frac{π (y)}{y})}^{s} (0 < s \in ℝ)

holds for all integers $x, y \geq 2$ if and only if $s \leq s_{0} = 0.94745 ... .$ Here, $s_{0}$ is the only positive solution of

{(\frac{16}{7})}^{t} - {(\frac{6}{5})}^{t} = 1 .
