On a sequence involving sums of primes

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

For n=1,2,3,…n=1,2,3,\ldots let SnS_n be the sum of the first nn primes. We mainly show that the sequence $a_n=\root n\of{S_n/n}\ (n=1,2,3,\ldots)$ is strictly decreasing, and moreover the sequence an+1/an (n=10,11,…)a_{n+1}/a_n\ (n=10,11,\ldots) is strictly increasing. We also formulate similar conjectures involving twin primes or partitions of integers.
