COMMENT

Isolated prime numbers have not adjacent primes in a lattice generated by writing consecutive integers starting from 1 in a spiral distribution. If n0 is the number of isolated primes and p the number of primes less than N, the ratio n0/p approaches 1 as N increases. If n1, n2, n3, n4 denote the number of primes with respectively 1, 2, 3, 4 adjacent primes in the lattice, the ratios n1/n0, n2/n1, n3/n2, n4/n3 approach 0 as N increases. The limits stand for any 2D lattice of integers generated by a priori criteria (i.e. not knowing distributions of primes) as Ulam ' s lattice.

EXAMPLE

83 is an isolated prime as the adjacent numbers in lattice 50, 51, 81,82, 84,

123, 124, 125 are not primes.

MAPLE

# A is Ulam ' s lattice if (isprime(A[x, y])and(not(isprime(A[x+1, y]) or isprime(A[x-1, y])or isprime(A[x, y+1])or isprime(A[x, y-1])or isprime(A[x-1, y-1])or isprime(A[x+1, y+1])or isprime(A[x+1, y-1])or isprime(A[x-1, y+1])))) then print (A[x, y]) ; fi;
