The $n$th+1 Prime Number Limit Formulas

General Mathematics 2016-08-09 v2

Abstract

A new derivation of Golomb's limit formula for generating the nnth+1+1 prime number is presented. The limit formula is derived by extracting pn+1p_{n+1} from Euler's prime product representation of the Riemann zeta function ζ(s)\zeta(s) in the limit as ss approaches infinity. Also, new variations of these limit formulas are explored, such as the logarithm and a half-prime formulas for the pn+1p_{n+1}.
