A185007

Ramanujan primes R_(4,3)(n): a(n) is the smallest number such that if x >= a(n), then pi_(4,3)(x) - pi_(4,3)(x/2) >= n, where pi_(4,3)(x) is the number of primes==3 (mod 4) <= x.

COMMENTS

All terms are primes==3 (mod 4).

A general conception of generalized Ramanujan numbers, see in Section 6 of the Shevelev, Greathouse IV, & Moses link.

We conjecture that for all n >= 1, a(n) <= A104272(3*n). This conjecture is based on observation that, if interval (x/2, x] contains >= 3*n primes, then at least n of them are of the form 4*k+3.

FORMULA

lim(a(n)/prime(4*n)) = 1 as n tends to infinity.
