A079636 Smallest number whose reciprocal fits in the square-root gap of consecutive primes. 0

%I #3 Mar 31 2012 10:33:15

%S 4,2,3,2,4,2,5,3,2,6,2,4,7,4,3,3,8,3,5,9,3,5,4,3,5,11

%N Smallest number whose reciprocal fits in the square-root gap of consecutive primes.

%C Is the limit of sqrt(P_(n+1)) - sqrt(P_n) 0?

%D Jim Ferry, sci.math, Jan 30 2003

%F a(n) = ceiling(1/(w'-w)) where w=sqrt(p(n)) and w'=sqrt(p(n+1))

%e a(3) = 3 because p(3)=5, p(4)=7, w=sqrt(5) w'=sqrt(7) and 1/(w'-w)=2.44.

%Y Cf. A000040.

%K easy,nonn

%O 1,1
