A161622 Denominators of the ratios (in lowest terms) of numbers of primes in one square interval to that of the interval and its successor. The numerators are derived from sequence A014085. The expression is: R(n)=(PrimePi[(n+1)^2] - PrimePi[n^2])/(PrimePi[(n+2)^2] - PrimePi[n^2]); The first few ratios are: 1/2, 2/5, 3/5, 1/3, 4/7,... +0

COMMENT

Conjecture: Lim R(n) as n->oo = 1/2. See also more extensive comment entered with sequence of numerators. This conjecture implies Legendre's conjecture.

EXAMPLE

R(3) = (PrimePi(4^2)-PrimePi(3^2)) / (PrimePi(5^2)-PrimePi(3^2)) = (PrimePi(16)-PrimePi(9)) / (PrimePi(25)-PrimePi(9)) = (6-4)/(9-4) = 2/5. Hence a(3) = 5. [From Klaus Brockhaus (klaus-brockhaus(AT)t-online.de), Jun 15 2009]

PROGRAM
