COMMENT

Catalan's conjecture (now a theorem) is that 1 occurs just once as a difference, between 8 and 9.

Goldbach showed that Sum 1/(a(n)-1) = 1.

FORMULA

Formulae from postings to the Number Theory List by various authors, 2002:

Sum_{i=2}^{infty} sum_{j=2}^{infty} 1/i^j =1;

Sum_{k=1}^infty 1/(a_k-1)=1;

Sum_{k=1}^infty 1/(a_k+1)= pi^2 / 3 - 5/2;

Sum_{k=1}^infty 1/a_k = sum_{n=2}^infty mu(n)(1- zeta(n)) approx = .87446436840494...

For asymptotics see Newman.
