Zusammenfassung: | Let
and
be the set of natural numbers and prime numbers, respectively. For a positive integer n, define the following two representation functions
and
An old result of Erdős showed that
is unbounded. As an elementary application of the Maynard-Tao theorem, we prove that
is also unbounded, which confirms a conjecture of Chen in 2010. |
