A172168 Decimal expansion of Sum 1/q, where q is any prime of the form m^2 + 1. 2

%I #20 Apr 03 2023 10:36:11

%S 8,1,4,5,9,6,5,7,1,7,0,2,9,7,2,8,4,5,2

%N Decimal expansion of Sum 1/q, where q is any prime of the form m^2 + 1.

%C The sum is trivially convergent because each term is less than the corresponding term of Sum_{j>=1} 1/(j^2) = (Pi^2)/6.

%C Eight significant digits of this constant are mentioned in A083844, which gives the number of primes of the form m^2 + 1 < 10^n.

%F Sum_{q in {primes of form m^2 + 1}} 1/q = Sum_{j>=1} 1/A002496(j) = 1/2 + 1/5 + 1/17 + 1/37 + 1/101 + ...
