Conjecture: 10^n(10^n+1)/2 - 1 -(10^n)^2/(2*log(10^n)-1) -> a(n) as n -> infinity. Here (10^n)^2/(2*log(10^n)-1) is also conjectured to -> sum of primes < 10^n and is a very good approximation for the sum of primes < 10^n. We know that k^2/(2log(k)-1) diverges as k -> infinity. So if we can prove this limit approaches the sum of the primes <= k, then this implies the sum of primes is infinite and therefore the number of primes is infinite.

Formula

10^n(10^n+1)/2 - 1 - A046731(n). Note: The b-file from Marc Deleglise was used for A046731(16) to A046731(20).

Example

The  sum of the composite numbers <= 10^1 is 4+6+8+9+10 = 37, the first entry in the sequence.
