Let $X$ be a positive integer. Then $\pi{(X+\ln^2{X})}-\pi{(X-\ln^2{X})}>\ln{X}$?

  • The prime-counting function is the function counting the number of prime numbers less than or equal to some real number $x$. It is denoted by $\pi{(x)}$. Using my computer I found that for any positive integer $X\leq 10^{9}$, $$\pi{(X+\ln^2{X})}-\pi{(X-\ln^2{X})}>\ln{X}$$

  • Question: Does the result hold for all positive integers $X$?
