COMMENT

Let c(m) be the m-th composite and p(n) be the n-th prime. The prime-composite array, B, is defined such that each element B(m,n) is the highest power of p(n) that is contained within c(m). Diagonals can also be specified, where the m-th diagonal consists of the infinite number of elements B(m,1), B(m+1,2), B(m+2,3),...

Diagonals can also be specified, where the m-th diagonal consists of the infinite number of elements B(m,1), B(m+1,2), B(m+2,3),...

The Second Borve Conjecture states that there is an infinite number of zero-only diagonals.

The prime-composite array begins:

...... .1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....(n)

...... (2)...(3)..(5)..(7).(11).(13).(17).(19).(p_n)

1 .(4) .2....0....0....0....0....0....0....0.......

2 .(6) .1....1....0....0....0....0....0....0.......

3 .(8) .3....0....0....0....0....0....0....0.......

4 .(9) .0....2....0....0....0....0....0....0.......

5 (10) .1....0....1....0....0....0....0....0.......

6 (12) .2....1....0....0....0....0....0....0.......

7 (14) .1....0....0....1....0....0....0....0.......

8 (15) .0....1....1....0....0....0....0....0.......

9 (16) .4....0....0....0....0....0....0....0.......

EXAMPLE

Thus each composite has its own row, consisting of the indices of its prime factors. For example, the 10th composite is 18, and 18 = 2^1 * 3^2 * 5^0 * 7^0 * 11^0 * ..., so the 10th row reads: 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, ..., . Similarly, B(6,2) = 1 because c(6) = 12, p(2) = 3, and the highest power of 3 contained within 12 is 3^1 = 3. And B(34,3) = 2 because c(34) = 50, p(3) = 5, and the highest power of 5 contained within 50 is 5^2 = 25.

MATHEMATICA

Composite[n_Integer] := FixedPoint[n + PrimePi[ # ] + 1 &, n + PrimePi[n] + 1]; m = 750; a = Table[0, {m}, {m}]; Do[b = Transpose[ FactorInteger[ Composite[n]]]; a[[n, PrimePi[First[b]]]] = Last[b], {n, 1, m}]; Do[ If[ Union[ Table[ a[[n + i - 1, i]], {i, 1, m - n + 1} ]] == {0}, Print[n]], {n, 1, m}]
