%N Greatest k for which the Andrica-like conjectural inequalities, prime(k+1)-prime(k)-(1/n)*sqrt(prime(k)) < 0, appear to fail, based on empirical evidence.

%C This is a family of increasingly restrictive Andrica-like conjectures that all imply Legendre's conjecture.

%e For n = 1, one needs k > 30 for the inequality to hold, and it is conjectured that it holds for all k > 30. In words, the first such inequality says that we expect to see a new prime prime(k+1) between prime(k) and prime(k)+sqrt(prime(k)) for k>30.
