Application of the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle to Prime Number Subsequences

General Mathematics 2024-02-21 v1

Abstract

We apply the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle to a unique pair of prime number subsequences to determine whether these subsequences form a small set or a large set and thus whether the infinite sum of the inverse of their terms converges or diverges. In this paper, we analyze the complementary prime number subsequences P(prime) and P(double-prime) as well as revisit the twin prime subsequence P2.
