COMMENTS
| Records are: 9,15,41,59,117,153,599,1663,8212,..., . Robert G. Wilson v: "It would appear superficially that this constant is normal." Sqrt(1 + Sqrt(2 + Sqrt(3 + Sqrt(4 + ... = ~ 1.75793275661800... "It was discovered by T. Vijayaraghavan that the infinite radical, sqrt( a_1 + sqrt( a_2 + sqrt ( a_3 + sqrt( a_4 + ... where a_n => 0, will converge to a limit if and only if the limit of (ln a_n)/2^n exists." [Clawson, 229; A072449] We know the asymptotic limit of primes and hence that the Prime Nested Radical converges.
