For every integer nnn with log⁡n≥300\log n \ge 300logn≥300, at least n/25n/25n/25 of the integers 0≤s≤n0 \le s \le n0≤s≤n are a sum s=p+qs = p + qs=p+q of two odd primes:

#{0≤s≤n:r(s)>0} ≥ n25,\#\{0 \le s \le n : r(s) > 0\} \ \ge\ \frac{n}{25},#{0≤s≤n:r(s)>0} ≥ 25n​,

where r(s)r(s)r(s) (Schnir.r) counts ordered pairs of odd primes (p,q)(p, q)(p,q) with p+q=sp + q = sp+q=s.

This is the large-range part of the explicit Schnirelmann-density argument for K=27K = 27K=27 (every integer >1> 1>1 is a sum of at most 27 primes). It follows Riesel and Vaughan (1983), §§7–8: split (h,1002h](h, 1002h](h,1002h], h=⌊n/2004⌋h = \lfloor n/2004 \rfloorh=⌊n/2004⌋, into 100010001000 overlapping intervals (kh,kh+2h](kh, kh + 2h](kh,kh+2h], weight each pair of primes from one interval by the truncated singular-series weight w(m)=∏p∣m, 3≤p≤E(p−2)/(p−1)w(m) = \prod_{p \mid m,\ 3 \le p \le E}(p-2)/(p-1)w(m)=∏p∣m, 3≤p≤E​(p−2)/(p−1), bound the weighted pair count from below with the Montgomery–Vaughan large sieve for primitive characters, and from above by #{s≤n:r(s)>0}\#\{s \le n : r(s) > 0\}#{s≤n:r(s)>0} times the Siebert-type bound for one sum. Chebyshev's elementary bound ψ(x)≥0.9212x−5log⁡x\psi(x) \ge 0.9212x - 5\log xψ(x)≥0.9212x−5logx replaces the Rosser–Schoenfeld prime number estimates, so no information on zeta zeros is used.
