The truncated asymptotic bounds conjecture for the prime-counting function

About 2 years old · traced to

Let π(x)\pi(x) denote the number of primes at most xx. Let li‾(x)\underline{li}(x) and li‾(x)\overline{li}(x) denote the lower and upper truncated asymptotic approximation functions defined in the paper.

Truncated asymptotic bounds conjecture. For every real x≥ex\ge e,

li‾(x)≤π(x)≤li‾(x).\underline{li}(x)\le \pi(x)\le \overline{li}(x).

The source proves related finite-range inequalities and presents this global inequality as a conjecture. It further states that if either this conjecture or the li0li_0-li1li_1 bounds conjecture holds, then the Riemann Hypothesis follows.
