The logarithmic Cunningham-chain bound beyond 5

Let P\mathbb{P} denote the primes, let i{1,2}i\in\{1,2\}, and let Ci[p]C_i[p] be the Cunningham chain associated with pp. The logarithmic Cunningham-chain bound. For every prime p>5p>5,

Ci[p]<log2(p+1).|C_i[p]|<\log_2(p+1).

The source presents this as a consequence anticipated from the rogue divisor conjecture; since that conjecture is unproved, this bound is also presented without a proof for general primes.
