| Feb 9, 2018 at 17:52 | comment | added | GH from MO | @user1582006: Whether a result is interesting enough to publish or not, is an opinion. Mathematics is a social game, not just pure science. Interesting new proofs of classical results do appear from time to time, in journals like the Amer. Math. Monthly. If your proof is really simpler than that of Erdős, then it might be worthwhile to try such a journal. | |

| Feb 9, 2018 at 17:08 | comment | added | GH from MO | The problem with your (corrected) result is that it is too restrictive (in my opinion). The conclusion is only interesting if $\varepsilon$ is small, but this requires $p_k$ to be large. However, for $p_k$ large and $\varepsilon$ small, the initial condition fails. This is because the product in the condition is asymptotically $0.5614... p_k$. See my "Added" section. | |

| Feb 9, 2018 at 17:02 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | Do you have a value of k for which your product inequality holds? I am computing for small k and have found none. Gerhard "Truth Sometimes Comes From Emptiness" Paseman, 2018.02.09. | |
