(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A111943 Prime p with prime gap q-p of n-th record Cramer-Shanks-Granville ratio, where q is smallest prime larger than p and C-S-G ratio is (q-p)/(log(p))^2. 3
13, 23, 113, 1327, 31397, 370261, 2010733, 20831323, 25056082087, 2614941710599, 19581334192423, 218209405436543, 1693182318746371 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

1,1

COMMENTS

The sequence ends with Bertil Nyman's 1999 discovery.

Shanks conjecture is that the ratio will never reach 1.
