%N Denominators of the ratios (in lowest terms) of numbers of primes in one square interval to that of the interval and its successor.

%C The numerators are derived from sequence A014085.

%C The expression is: R(n) = (PrimePi((n+1)^2) - PrimePi(n^2))/(PrimePi((n+2)^2) - PrimePi(n^2)).

%C The first few ratios are 1/2, 2/5, 3/5, 1/3, 4/7, ...

%C Conjecture: lim_{n->infinity} R(n) = 1/2. See also more extensive comment entered with sequence of numerators. This conjecture implies Legendre's conjecture.

%e R(3) = (PrimePi(4^2)-PrimePi(3^2)) / (PrimePi(5^2)-PrimePi(3^2)) = (PrimePi(16)-PrimePi(9)) / (PrimePi(25)-PrimePi(9)) = (6-4)/(9-4) = 2/5. Hence a(3) = 5. - _Klaus Brockhaus_, Jun 15 2009
