%N A331950 Addends k > 0 such that the polynomial x^3 + x^2 + k produces a record of its Hardy-Littlewood Constant.
%C A331950 The method for calculating the Hardy-Littlewood constant for quadratic polynomials can be generalized to cubic polynomials (see the preprint by H. Cohen for the exact definition). In this case too, the constant is an estimate of which fraction (e.g. in relation to a random placement) of prime numbers the polynomial hits within its range of values. The following table shows that the ratio of the actual prime number hits for 1 <= x <= 10^8 for different addend values corresponds almost exactly to the ratio of the Hardy-Littlewood constants. The Hardy-Littlewood constant C and the number of prime hits np at offset = 1 are chosen as reference values.
