Deduction of some mathematical consequence from an inequality involving Ramanujan primes

88 Views Asked by At

Adapting the solution in page 81 of [1] of Problem 1.69 (Amer. Math. Monthly) for the sequence of Ramanujan primes $\{R_k\}_{k\geq 1}$ one deduces the following claim. Wikipedia has an article for Ramanujan primes.

Claim. For any integer $m\geq 1$ there exists an integer $N(m)$ such that $$\prod_{n=m}^{N(m)}(R_n+1)>2\prod_{n=m}^{N(m)}R_n\tag{1}$$ holds.

Sketch of proof. Just some companion details are that I've invoked the Theorem B-1 from Appendix B_1 of George Andrews, Number Theory, Dover Publications (1971), together the nature of the series $\sum_{k=1}^\infty 1/R_k$ that is a consequence of a theorem due to Sondow (see [2]).$\square$

Question. I wondered if one can to deduce some application (to get a more elaborated statement) from previous claim, that is from the inequality $(1)$. Can you get any consequence (with a good mathematical content) from previous inequality? Many thanks.

I tried to think some consequence for aliquot sequences, but without results.
