COMMENTS

10^n/Li(10^n) - 1) is the ratio of estimated composite numbers less than 10^n to the estimated prime numbers less than 10^n. Conjecture: 2 and 3 are the only numbers in this sequence.

FORMULA

Li(n) is the logarithmic integral which approximates the number of primes less than n. n Li(n) = Int dt/log(t) 2

PROG

(PARI) LiRatioDiff(m, n) = { local(x, p1, p2, a, b); forstep(x=m, n, 2, p1=10.^x; p2=10^(x+1); a=floor(p1/Li(p1)-1); b=floor(p2/Li(p2)-1); print1(b-a, ", ") ) } Li(x) = \ Logarithmic integral { -eint1(log(1/x)) }
