%N Decimal expansion of Sum_{n >= 1} 1/4^prime(n).

%C Equivalently, the real number in (0,1) having the characteristic function of the primes, A010051, as its base-4 expansion. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jul 04 2017

%F Equals 3 * Sum_{k>=1} pi(k)/4^(k+1), where pi(k) = A000720(k). - _Amiram Eldar_, Aug 11 2020

%o (PARI) /* Sum of 1/m^p for primes p */ sumnp(n,m) = { local(s=0,a,j); for(x=1,n, s+=1./m^prime(x); ); a=Vec(Str(s)); for(j=3,n, print1(eval(a[j])",") ) }

%o (PARI) suminf(n=1, 1/4^prime(n)) \\ Then: digits(%\.1^default(realprecision))[1..-3] to remove the last 2 digits. N.B.: Functions sumpos() and sumnum() yield much less accurate results. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jul 04 2017

%Y Cf. A000720, A051006 (analog for base 2), A132800 (analog for base 3), A132797 (analog for base 5), A010051 (characteristic function of the primes), A000040 (the primes).
