The majority nonnegativity conjecture for Legendre-symbol sums
The majority nonnegativity conjecture for Legendre-symbol sums
Let be an odd prime, let , and define
where is the Legendre symbol. Majority nonnegativity conjecture. For every ,
Thus, for each such , at least half of the primes asymptotically should satisfy . Numerical computations for several values of suggest an even larger proportion, but no proof of the stated lower-density bound is given.
