COMMENTS

The expression (2n)!/n!^2 is taken from C(2n+1,n+1) - C(2n,n) =

(2n)!/(n!^2*(n/(n+1)) = sum(k=1,n,C(n,k)*C(n,k-1)). This was posed in the

Yahoo Group MathForFun. A recent thread is shown in the link.

FORMULA

Pi(x): number of primes <= n or the prime counting function.

omega(x): number of distinct prime divisors of x.

C(n,k): number of combinations of n things taken k at a time = n!/((n-k)!k!).

EXAMPLE

(2*10)!/10!^2 = 184756 = 2*2*11*13*17*19 which has 5 distinct divisors. Pi(2*10) = 8. 8-5=3 = a(10).

PROG

(PARI) g2(n) = for(x=1, n, ct=omega((2*x)!/x!^2); print1(primepi(2*x)-ct", "))
