Effective estimates for some functions defined over primes

Abstract

In this paper we give effective estimates for some classical arithmetic functions defined over prime numbers. First we find the smallest real number $x_0$ so that some inequality involving Chebyshev's $\vartheta$-function holds for every $x \geq x_0$. Then we give some new results concerning the existence of prime numbers in short intervals. Also we derive new upper and lower bounds for some functions defined over prime numbers, for instance the prime counting function $\pi(x)$, which improve current best estimates of similar shape.
