Abstract:

Let h(n) denote the largest product of primes whose sum is ≤ n, and g(n) denote the Landau function, which is the largest product of powers of primes whose sum is ≤ n. In this article, several properties of h(n) are given and compared to similar properties of g(n). Special attention is paid to the behavior of the largest prime factor of h(n).
