Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Decimal expansion of the constant S_1* + S_2* = Sum_{j>=1} prime((j + 1) - 1)!/prime((j + 2) - 1)!.

%C The constant S_1* + S_2* is related to the prime gaps, since twin primes produce the largest terms of the sum compared with neighboring terms.

%C On Apr 06 2019, the first 4200000000 prime numbers were used in order to calculate S_1* and S_2* and using Rosser's theorem we get: 0.13045626983537 < S_1* + S_2* < 0.13045626983578.

%F S_1* + S_2* = Sum_{j>=1} prime((j + 1) - 1)!/prime((j + 2) - 1)! = Sum_{j>=1} 1/(Product{k=prime(j + 1), prime((j + 2) - 1)} k) = 1/(3*4) + 1/(5*6) + 1/(7*8*9*10) + 1/(11*12) + ...

%e S_1* + S_2* = 0.130456269835...
