The Buenos Aires constant is the real number defined by the series
where
is the
th
prime number and the empty
product for
equals 1. Its value is 2.920050977316... (OEIS A249270),
and it is irrational (Fridman et al. 2019,
Varona 2021).
with ,
satisfies
for every positive integer
, where
is the floor function
(Fridman et al. 2019). Thus it recovers all primes
in increasing order. The prime numbers are already
encoded in the value of
through its defining series.
