Shanks (1967) conjectured that the number of primes of the form (m + 1)^4 + 1 such that (m - 1)^4 + 1 is also a prime (A217795 plus 1), with m <= x, is asymptotic to c * li_2(x), where li_2(x) = Integral_{t=2..n} (1/log(t)^2) dt, and c is this constant. He defined c as in the formula section, evaluated it by 0.79220 and named it after the mathematician Mohan Lal, who conjectured the asymptotic formula without evaluating this constant.

The first 100 digits of this constant were calculated by Ettahri et al. (2019).
