Counting primes, twin primes, cousin primes: unusual approach, connection to some conjectures

I am investigating the following sieve-like algorithm. Let $S_N=\{1,\dots,N\}$. For all primes $p$ with $p_0\leq p \leq M$, we remove from $S_N$ the following elements: all numbers $n\in S_N$ such ...

A conjectured upper bound for the mean value of prime divisors inside prime gaps

In 1969 C.A. Grimm stated this interesting conjecture: the prime gap $\,G_n=\{x\in N:p_n\lt x\lt p_{n+1}\}\,$ contains at least $\,\#G_n=(p_{n+1}-p_n)-1=g_n-1\,$ distinct prime divisors, that is if $\,...

Variants of Nicholson's inequalities for prime numbers, involving the Lambert $W$ function

The purpose of this post is ask about two closely related/inspired conjectures from inequalities due to Nicholson (see [1]) and Visser [2]. If my reasonings are right should be stronger versions of ...
