%N Decimal expansion of a semiprime analog of a Ramanujan formula.
%C This is related to Ramanujan's surprising formula: Prod[from n = 1 to infinity] (prime(n)^2 - 1)/ (prime(n)^2 + 1) = 2/5 and we use it in finding A112407 as the semiprime analog. We also use: A090986 = Decimal expansion of Pi csch Pi = Prod[from n = 2 to infinity] (n^2 - 1)/(n^2 + 1).
%C Since every integer above 1 is a k-almost prime for some k, we factor the (n^2 - 1)/(n^2 + 1) infinite product and use Ramanujan's formula, to have: Prod[from n = 1 to infinity] (prime(n)^2-1)/(prime(n)^2+1) * Prod[from n = 1 to infinity] (semiprime(n)^2 - 1)/(semiprime(n)^2 + 1) * Prod[from n = 1 to infinity] (3-almostprime(n)^2 - 1)/ (3-almostprime(n)^2 + 1) * ... * Prod[from n = 1 to infinity] (k-almostprime(n)^2 - 1)/ (k-almostprime(n)^2 + 1) * ... = Prod[from n = 2 to infinity] (n^2 - 1)/(n^2 + 1) = pi csch pi as each integer appear once and only once in numerator and once and only once in denominator.
%C 2/5 is the first (Ramanujan, prime) term in this infinite product of infinite products. This here is the second (semiprime) term. A155799 is the third (3-almost prime) term. All of these have slow convergence.
