COMMENT

Primes on the left side of the of the triangle formed by listing successively the prime numbers in a triangular grid:

........ 2

....... 3 5

..... 7 11 13

... 17 19 23 29

.. 31 37 41 43 47

. 53 59 61 67 71 73

The sum of the reciprocals appears to converge. The PARI program is limited to n <= 6000.

PROGRAM

(PARI) triprimes(n) = { sr = 0; for(j=0, n, x = j*(j+1)/2+1; z = prime(x); sr+=1.0/z; print1(z" "); ); print(); print(sr); }
