lim x (   p x   log p x ) does not exist. We can prove it by contradiction.
If lim x (   p x   log p x ) exists, then
0 = lim x (   p ( x + 1 ) log p ( x + 1 ) ) lim x (   p x log p x ) = lim x   x < p ( x + 1 ) log p 1
It means that lim x   x < p ( x + 1 ) log p = 1
If there is a prime in ( x , x + 1 ], then x < p ( x + 1 ) log p > log x, if there is no prime in ( x , x + 1 ], then x < p ( x + 1 ) log p = 0, so lim x   x < p ( x + 1 ) log p cannot exist, it contradicts with the previous, so lim x (   p x   log p x ) cannot exist.
