Reciprocal sum of prime-prefix-free numbers shown to converge
Original: The reciprocal sum of the prime-prefix-free numbers converges [pdf]
A new paper proves that the sum of reciprocals of the prime-prefix-free numbers converges, settling a question about this set of integers in which no member is a prefix of another's prime-related representation. The result is being shared and discussed by mathematically minded readers, who are examining the proof's techniques and implications for related sequences.
Why now: A fresh mathematical proof with an accessible PDF is circulating among technically curious readers.
