COMMENT
|
The Brun series is the sum over reciprocals of the (odd) twin primes (see the mathworld link).
The denominators divided by 5 are given in A117508.
A001359 gives the lesser of the twin primes (offset 1).
A006512 gives the greater of the twin primes (offset 1).
A029707=[2,3,5,7,10,..] gives the indices for the lesser of the (odd) twin primes (offset 0).
The proof that the partial sums of the Brun series have numerators divisible by 4 and denominators divisible by 5 can be given by induction.
