A Prime-Representing Constant

Number Theory 2020-11-02 v1

Abstract

We present a constant and a recursive relation to define a sequence fnf_n such that the floor of fnf_n is the nnth prime. Therefore, this constant generates the complete sequence of primes. We also show this constant is irrational and consider other sequences that can be generated using the same method.
