Coefficient in formulas for the distribution of integers with a fixed number of prime factors.

Reciprocal of the twin prime constant A005597. See A005597 for links and additional references and comments.

Numerators of partial products are A062271. Denominators are A062270.

An analog for primes of Wallis' product pi/2 = Product_{n >=1} (2n)^2/(2n-1)(2n+1), because A167864 = Product_{prime p>2} (p-1)^2/(p-2)p.

Grosswald (see links) proves that Sum_{k<=x} 2^Omega(k) ~ (1/(8*log(2))) * c * x * (log(x))^2 + O(x * log(x)) where c is this constant. - Amiram Eldar, Jun 06 2020

The asymptotic density of numbers m with A046660(m) = Omega(m) - omega(m) = k is asymptotically ~ c/2^(k+2) as k -> oo, where c is this constant (Rényi, 1955). - Amiram Eldar, Aug 08 2020

Named after the Norwegian mathematician Atle Selberg (1917-2007) and the French mathematician Hubert Delange (1914-2003). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 20 2021

Formula

Equals 1/A005597.

Equals Product_{prime p>2} (p-1)^2/(p-2)p = (2^2/1*3)(4^2/3*5)(6^2/5*7)(10^2/9*11) ....

Example

Product_{prime p > 2} (1 + 1/(p(p-2))) = 1.5147801281374912577185338123...
