Counting primes by sums of frequencies

Abstract

We introduce the sequence (an)(0,1](a_n) \subset (0,1] and prove that the asymptotic behaviour of k=1nak\sum_{k=1}^n a_k is the same than π(n)\pi(n), the prime-counting function. We also obtain that π(n)nan\pi(n) \sim n a_n and we estimate 1annπ(n)\frac{1}{a_n}-\frac{n}{\pi(n)} showing that limn1annπ(n)\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{a_n}-\frac{n}{\pi(n)} is convergent.
