COMMENT

Number of primes in (n*(n*log(n))..(n+1)*((n+1)*log(n+1))] semi-open intervals, n >= 1.

The semi-open intervals form a partition of the real line for x > 0, thus each prime appears in a unique interval.

The n_th interval length is:

~ (n+1/2)*[2*log(n+1/2)+1]

~ 2*n*log(n) as n goes to infinity

The n_th interval prime density is:

~ 1/[2*log(n+1/2)+log(log(n+1/2))]

~ 1/(2*log(n)) as n goes to infinity

The expected number of primes for n_th interval is:

~ (n+1/2)*[2*log(n+1/2)+1]/[2*log(n+1/2)+log(log(n+1/2))]

~ n as n goes to infinity

The actual number of primes for n_th interval seems to be (from graph): a(n) = n + O(n^(1/2))

The partial sums of this sequence give:

pi((n+1)^2*log(n+1)) = Sum_{i=1}^n {a(i)} ~ Sum_{i=1}^n {i} = t_n = n*(n+1)/2

FORMULA

a(n) = pi((n+1)^2*log(n+1)) - pi(n^2*log(n)) since the intervals are semi-open properly.
