%N A265810 Numerators of upper primes-only best approximates (POBAs) to Pi; see Comments.
%C A265810 Suppose that x > 0. A fraction p/q of primes is an upper primes-only best approximate, and we write "p/q is in U(x)", if p'/q < x < p/q < u/v for all primes u and v such that v < q, where p' is greatest prime < p in case p >= 3.
%C A265810 Let q(1) = 2 and let p(1) be the least prime >= x. The sequence U(x) follows inductively: for n >= 1, let q(n) is the least prime q such that x < p/q < p(n)/q(n) for some prime p. Let q(n+1) = q and let p(n+1) be the least prime p such that x < p/q < p(n)/q(n).
%C A265810 For a guide to POBAs, lower POBAs, and upper POBAs, see A265759.
%e A265810 The upper POBAs to Pi start with 7/2, 17/5, 23/7, 41/13, 167/53, 211/67, 431/137. For example, if p and q are primes and q > 67, and p/q > Pi, then 211/67 is closer to Pi than p/q is.
