Comments

This is another interpretation of Conjecture 1 in the paper by Sondow, Nicholson, and Noe. The conjecture has been verified for i <= 20 and Ramanujan primes less than 10^9.

The conjecture has been proven for i > 38 and j > 9 by Christian Axler. Complete exception list can be found in remark of paper. - John W. Nicholson, Aug 04 2019
