%N Values k for successive maximal records of the function A defined as A(prime(k)) = log(prime(k)) - prime(k)/Pi(prime(k)) where Pi(prime(k)) is number of primes <= prime(k).

%C This sequence is finite and complete.

%C Chebyshev 1852, goes on to conclude that if we put Pi(x) = x/(log(x) - A(x)) has a limit as x -> +infinity, then a limit must be 1, not 1.08366 (A228211), as Legendre incorrectly conjectured in 1808.

%C R. Farhadian & R. Jakimczuk 2018 prove again that the function A tends to 1 when n tends to infinity.

%C A(prime(2688)) = A(24137) = -24137/2688 + log(24137) = 1.11196252139...

%C A(n) <= -(24137/2688) + log(24137) for all positive integers n.
