Towards Proving the Twin Prime Conjecture using a Novel Method For Finding the Next Prime Number ${P_{N+1}}$ after a Given Prime Number ${P_{N}}$ and a Refinement on the Maximal Bounded Prime Gap ${G_{i}}$

Published 28 Apr 2020 in math.GM | (2004.14819v2)

Abstract: This paper introduces a new method to find the next prime number after a given prime ${P}$. The proposed method is used to derive a system of inequalities, that serve as constraints which should be satisfied by all primes whose successor is a twin prime. Twin primes are primes having a prime gap of ${2}$. The pairs ${(5,7),(11,13),(41,43)}$, etcetera are all twin primes. This paper envisions that if the proposed system of inequalities can be proven to have infinite solutions, the Twin Prime Conjecture will evidently be proven true. The paper also derives a novel upper bound on the prime gap, ${G_{i}}$ between ${P_{i} \; and \; P_{i+1}}$, as a function of ${P_{i}}$.
