Consider the equation q^x-p^x=1 where p,q are successive primes; solve for x; the smallest such x is 0.567148... which occurs when p=113, q=127. Sequence gives decimal expansion of this value of x.

COMMENTS
| Sometimes called the Smarandache constant.
Is this constant rational or irrational? I conjecture it is irrational. - Sukanto Bhattacharya (susant5au(AT)yahoo.com.au), Apr 28 2008
