The improved bound conjecture for primes between consecutive squares

At least 16 years old · documented by

For a positive integer nn, let leg(n)leg(n) denote the number of primes between n2n^{2} and (n+1)2(n+1)^{2}. The improved bound conjecture for leg(n)leg(n).

n2+10n+53nln⁡(n)≤leg(n)≤n2+10n+53n.\frac{n^{2}+10n+5}{3n\ln(n)}\leq leg(n)\leq\frac{n^{2}+10n+5}{3n}.

The source proposes this as a tighter empirical bound than the previously derived upper bound for leg(n)leg(n); its validity remains open.
