Summary
| Description |
English: A log-log plot showing the absolute error of two estimates to the prime-counting function , given by and . The x axis is and is logarithmic (labelled in evenly spaced powers of 10), going up to 1024, the largest for which is currently known. The y axis is also logarithmic, going up to the absolute error of at 1024. The error of both functions appears to increase as a power of , with Li(x)'s power being smaller; both clearly diverge. The error of Li(x) appears to smooth out after 109 but this is an artifact due to less data availability for in the larger region. Source used to generate this chart is shown below. |

Mathematica source to generate graph (which was then saved as SVG from Mathematica):
These were converted to SVG with [1] and then the graph was embedded into the resulting document in Inkscape. Axis fonts were also converted to Liberation Serif in Inkscape.
