Abstract

The smart method of Gelfond–Shnirelman–Nair allows one to obtain a lower bound for the prime counting function \({\pi(x)}\) in an elementary way in terms of integrals of suitable integer polynomials. In this paper we carry on the study of the sets of integer polynomials relevant for the method.
