Abstract

In this paper, I provided an approximation function Li*2,10(x) using logarithm integral for the counting function π*2,10(x) of consecutive deca primes. Several personal computers and Mathematica were used to validate the approximation function Li*2,10(x). I found the real value of π*2,10(x) and approximate value of Li*2,10(x) for various x ≤ 1011. By the result of theses calculations, most of the error rates are margins of error of 0.005%. Also, I proved that the sum C2,10(∞) of reciprocals of all primes with difference 10 between primes is finite. To find C2,10(∞), I computed the sum C2,10(x) of reciprocals of all consecutive deca primes for various x ≤ 1011 and I estimate that C2,10(∞) probably lies in the range C2,10(∞)=0.4176±2.1×10-3.

본 논문은 연속하는 두 소수의 차가 10인 소수의 쌍의 수에 대한 계산 함수 π*2,10(x)의 근사함수 Li*2,10(x)를 로그적분을 이용하여 유도하였다. Li*2,10(x)가 π*2,10(x)의 근사함수로 적절한지 알아보기 위하여 컴퓨터와 Mathematica 프로그램을 이용하여 π*2,10(x)와 Li*2,10(x)의 값을 x ≤ 1011까지 구한 후 두 값의 오차율을 계산하였다. 오차율을 계산한 결과 대부분의 구간에서 오차율이 0.005% 이하로 나타났다. 또한, 두 소수의 차가 10인 소수들의 역수들의 합 C2,10(∞)이 유한임을 보였다. C2,10(∞)의 수렴값을 구하기 위하여 C2,10(1011)을 구한 후, 이를 이용하여 C2,10(∞)의 대략적인 수렴값을 계산하였다. 그 결과 C2,10(∞)=0.4176±2.1×10-3로 수렴함을 알 수 있었다.
