A238645 Number of odd primes p < 2*n such that the number of squarefree numbers among 1, ..., ((p-1)/2)*n is prime. 3

%I #26 Jul 10 2015 20:05:27

%S 0,1,2,1,2,2,1,2,2,5,2,3,3,1,6,5,3,3,1,4,2,4,4,3,4,2,4,3,1,4,3,3,7,5,

%T 4,5,5,4,3,2,5,2,2,4,5,4,9,7,4,3,2,4,3,4,3,2,4,6,5,6,4,4,2,2,7,5,6,6,

%U 8,3,7,3,5,6,10,6,6,6,4,5

%N Number of odd primes p < 2*n such that the number of squarefree numbers among 1, ..., ((p-1)/2)*n is prime.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 2, 4, 7, 14, 19, 29.

%C This is an analog of the conjecture in A237578 for squarefree numbers. We have verified it for n up to 20000.

%C See also A238646 for a similar conjecture involving squarefree numbers.

%e a(4) = 1 since 3 is prime and there are exactly 3 squarefree numbers among 1, ..., (3-1)/2*4 (namely, 1, 2, 3).

%e a(14) = 1 since 5 and 17 are both prime, and there are exactly 17 squarefree numbers among 1, ..., (5-1)/2*14.

%e a(19) = 1 since 3 and 13 are both prime, and there are exactly 13 squarefree numbers among 1, ..., (3-1)/2*19 (namely, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19).

%e a(29) = 1 since 41 and 353 are both prime, and there are exactly 353 squarefree numbers among 1, ..., (41-1)/2*29 = 580.
