Landau–Ramanujan comparison conjecture for gcd parameter 3

From papers

Let kk be a positive integer and qq a prime with (k,q1)=3(k,q-1)=3. Let Sk,q(x)S_{k,q}(x) and Sk,q(x)S'_{k,q}(x) denote the two sums considered in the paper, and compare their Landau and Ramanujan approximations. Landau–Ramanujan comparison conjecture for r=3r=3. The Landau approximation for Sk,q(x)S_{k,q}(x) is better than the Ramanujan approximation for every prime qq except

q{7,13,19,31,37,61,67,79,97,103,109,127,181},q \in \{7,13,19,31,37,61,67,79,97,103,109,127,181\},

for which the Ramanujan approximation is better. The Landau approximation for Sk,q(x)S'_{k,q}(x) is better than the Ramanujan approximation for every prime qq except

q{7,13,19,31,61,67,97,109}.q\in\{7,13,19,31,61,67,97,109\}.

These assertions are based on numerical experiments because the authors could not test all remaining primes for the case r=3r=3; the relevant comparisons are expected to require extensive computation.
