Method 1: 1 < 1 / 2 + 1 / 3 + 1 / 5 + 1 / 7 = A ( 7 ) < A ( e e 3 ) .
Method 2: I'll prove a stronger result, A ( n ) > 2 . 5 for sufficiently large n .
Assume all sums and product over p are over the set of prime numbers.
In this case, x = e e 3 . Thus, A ( e e 3 ) > ln ( ln ( e e 3 ) ) − 2 1 = 2 . 5 > 1 .
The answer is Yes, it is true .

Note that n → ∞ lim ( p ≤ n ∑ p 1 − ln ( ln n ) ) = M ≈ 0 . 2 6 1 , where M denotes the Meissel–Mertens constant .
