Does lim q(n)/a(n+1) converge?

The Prime Number Theorem implies that the limit is 1. [Charles R Greathouse IV, Dec 08 2011]

LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..12.

FORMULA

a(n) = pi( 3*q(n)/2 -1 ) - pi( q(n)/2 -1 ).

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 3 primes in [3,9], 9-3 = 6 = q(2) = 3*2. a(3) = 8 primes in [15,45], 45-15 = 30 = q(3) = 5*6. a(4) = 38 primes in [105,315], 315-105 = 210 = q(4) = 7*30.

PROG

(PARI) pi(x)=c=0; forprime(p=2, x, c++); c q(n) = prod(k=1, n, prime(k)) a(n) = pi(3*q(n)/2-1)-pi(q(n)/2-1) for(n=1, 11, print1(a(n), ", "))

CROSSREFS

q(n) = A002110(n), pi(n) = A000720(n).
