Taniguchi's Constant


Taniguchi's constant is defined as

C_(Taniguchi)=product_(p)[1-3/(p^3)+2/(p^4)+1/(p^5)-1/(p^6)]
(1)
=0.6782344...
(2)

(OEIS A175639), where the product is over the primes p. Taking the logarithm, expand the sum about infinity, and then summing the terms gives a "closed" form as

C_(Taniguchi)=exp[sum_(n=3)^(infty)c_nP(n)]
(3)
=exp[-3P(3)+2P(4)+P(5)-(11)/2P(6)+6P(7)+...],
(4)

where P(n) is the prime zeta function and the c_ns are rational numbers given as the coefficients of p^(-1) in the series

 ln(1-1/(p^6)+1/(p^5)+2/(p^4)-3/(p^3))=-3/(p^3)+2/(p^4)+1/(p^5)+....
(5)
