Goldbach's conjecture for prime-like distributions
Goldbach's conjecture for prime-like distributions
Let be a subset of the natural numbers, and let denote the number of elements of less than or equal to . Let denote the number of primes less than or equal to . The distribution of is similar to the distribution of primes if there exists such that
for every integer .
Generalization of Goldbach's conjecture. Let be a subset of natural numbers whose distribution is similar to primes. There exists such that, for any even integer , there exist satisfying
This proposes that the Goldbach representation property depends on having a prime-like counting distribution rather than on primality itself. The source gives computational evidence for particular shifted-prime constructions, but does not establish the assertion for every subset with the stated distribution property.
