The Erdős primitive set conjecture states that the sum f(A) = ∑ a∈A 1 a log a , ranging over any primitive set A of positive integers, is maximized by the set of prime numbers. Recently Laib, Derbal, and Mechik proved that the translated Erdős conjecture for the sum f(A, h) = ∑ a∈A 1 a(log a+h) is false starting at h = 81, by comparison with semiprimes. In this note we prove that such falsehood occurs already at h = 1.04 · · · , and show this translate is best possible for semiprimes. We also…

It is shown that if the sum of the reciprocals of the elements of P is small enough, then P is Erdős-best among primitive subsets of N(P).

In many contexts, it is necessary to compute slowly convergent Euler products or prime sums. Although it has been known for a long time that this can be done in non-trivial ways, it seems necessary
On a Problem of Erdos Concerning Primitive Sequences
A sequence A = {ai} of positive integers a, 1. a log a p og a<n, aEA p<n, p pnme This would then partially settle a question of Erdos who asked if this inequality holds for any primitive sequence A .
