On Erdős sums of almost primes

In 1935, Erdős proved that the sums $f_k=\sum _n 1/(n\log n)$, over integers $n$ with exactly $k$ prime factors, are bounded by an absolute constant, and in 1993 Zhang proved that $f_k$ is maximized by the prime sum $f_1=\sum _p 1/(p\log p)$. According to a 2013 conjecture of Banks and Martin, the s...
