COMMENT

Central elements of odd-length rows of the triangle of primes 2; 3,5; 7,11,13; ...

The sum of the reciprocals of the terms converges by comparison with sum_{n>=1} 1/n^2, since 1/a(n) < 1/(2n(n+1)+1) < 1/n^2. The limit is about 0.6471.

PROGRAM

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