Abstract:
An analysis of the local variations of the prime counting function due to the impact of the non-trivial, complex zeros of is provided for using up to 200 billion complex zeros. A new bound for is proposed consistent with the error growth rate in Littlewood's proof that changes sign infinitely often. This bound is also consistent with all presently known cases where including many new examples listed. This implies that Littlewood's constant , the lower bound for Skewes' number is and the positive constant in the Riemann Hypothesis equivalent is less than .
