%N A038458 Decimal expansion of the solution to 127^x - 113^x = 1. This is the smallest x such that q^x - p^x = 1 for two successive primes p, q.
%C A038458 Generalizes Andrica's conjecture prime(n+1)^(1/2) - prime(n)^(1/2) < 1 to prime(n+1)^c - prime(n)^c < 1 if c is less than this number.
%C A038458 Is this constant rational or irrational? I conjecture it is irrational. - Sukanto Bhattacharya (susant5au(AT)yahoo.com.au), Apr 28 2008
%C A038458 The first five digits are the same as the first five of A030178 = LambertW(1). - _John W. Nicholson_, Dec 11 2013
%C A038458 Although the description of the sequence defines it as "the smallest x" with a certain property, this is conjectured, not yet proven. Numerical evidence supports the conjecture. - _Hal M. Switkay_, Jun 02 2021
