Firoozbakht's conjecture

References:

open Real namespace Firoozbakht

The sequence of $\sqrt[n]{p_n}$ where $p_n$ is the n:th prime number.

noncomputable def firoozbakhtSeq (n : ) : := (n.nth Prime)^(1/(n + 1) : )

Firoozbakht's conjecture The inequality $\sqrt[n+1]{p_{n+1}} < \sqrt[n]{p_n}$ holds for all prime numbers $p_n$.

The inequality $p_{n+1}-p_n < (\log p_n)^2-\log p_n$ holds for all $n>4$. A consequence of Firuzbakht's conjecture.
