# Bertrand's Postulate

This file contains a proof of Bertrand's postulate: That between any positive number and its
double there is a prime.

The proof follows the outline of the ErdΕ‘s proof presented in "Proofs from THE BOOK": One considers
the prime factorization of `(2 * n).choose n`, and splits the constituent primes up into various
groups, then upper bounds the contribution of each group. This upper bounds the central binomial
coefficient, and if the postulate does not hold, this upper bound conflicts with a simple lower
bound for large enough `n`. This proves the result holds for large enough `n`, and for smaller `n`
an explicit list of primes is provided which covers the remaining cases.

As in the [Metamath implementation](carneiro2015arithmetic), we rely on some optimizations from
[Shigenori Tochiori](tochiori_bertrand). In particular we use the cleaner bound on the central
binomial coefficient given in `nat.four_pow_lt_mul_central_binom`.

An upper bound on the central binomial coefficient used in the proof of Bertrand's postulate.
The bound splits the prime factors of `central_binom n` into those
1. At most `sqrt (2 * n)`, which contribute at most `2 * n` for each such prime.
2. Between `sqrt (2 * n)` and `2 * n / 3`, which contribute at most `4^(2 * n / 3)` in total.
3. Between `2 * n / 3` and `n`, which do not exist.
4. Between `n` and `2 * n`, which would not exist in the case where Bertrand's postulate is false.
5. Above `2 * n`, which do not exist.
