Abstract
By combining the sieve machinery used in the author's previous paper on this topic and some new arithmetic information in Harman's monograph, the author proves that the interval $[n-n^{\frac{1}{22}+\varepsilon}, n]$ contains prime numbers for almost all $n$, improving the previous exponent $\frac{1}{21.5}$ by the author. The use of the variable role-reversal plays a crucial role in the proof.
