%N A005597 Decimal expansion of the twin prime constant C_2 = Product_{ p prime
>= 3 } (1-1/(p-1)^2).
%C A005597 C_2 = Product_{ p prime > 2} (p * (p-2) / (p-1)^2) is the 2-tuple case
of the Hardy-Littlewood prime k-tuple constant (part of First H-L
Conjecture): C_k = Product_{ p prime > k} (p^(k-1) * (p-k) / (p-1)^k).
%C A005597 Although C_2 is commonly called the twin prime constant, it is actually
the prime 2-tuple constant (prime pair constant) which is relevant
to prime pairs (p, p+2m), m >= 1.
%C A005597 The Hardy-Littlewood Asymptotic Conjecture for Pi_2m(n), the number of
prime pairs (p, p+2m), m >= 1, with p <= n, claims that asymptotically
Pi_2m(n) ~ C_2(2m) * Li_2(n), where Li_2(n) = Integral_{2, n} (dx/
log^2(x)) and C_2(2m) = 2 * C_2 * Product_{p prime > 2, p | m} (p-1)/
(p-2), which gives: C_2(2) = 2 * C_2 as the prime pair (p, p+2) constant,
C_2(4) = 2 * C_2 as the prime pair (p, p+4) constant, C_2(6) = 2*
(2/1) * C_2 as the prime pair (p, p+6) constant, C_2(8) = 2 * C_2
as the prime pair (p, p+8) constant, C_2(10) = 2 * (4/3) * C_2 as
the prime pair (p, p+10) constant, C_2(12) = 2 * (2/1) * C_2 as the
prime pair (p, p+12) constant, C_2(14) = 2 * (6/5) * C_2 as the prime
pair (p, p+14) constant, C_2(16) = 2 * C_2 as the prime pair (p,
p+16) constant, ... And, for i >= 1, C_2(2^i) = 2 * C_2 as the prime
pair (p, p+2^i) constant.
%C A005597 C_2 also occurs as part of other Hardy-Littlewood conjectures related
to prime pairs, e.g. the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture concerning the
distribution of the Sophie Germain primes (A156874), which happens
to be primes p s.t. (p, 2p+1) is a prime pair.
%C A005597 Another constant related to the twin primes is Viggo Brun's constant
B (sometimes also called the twin primes Viggo Brun's constant B_2)
A065421, where B_2 = Sum (1/p + 1/q) as (p,q) runs through the twin
primes.
%C A005597 Reciprocal of the Selberg-Delange constant A167864. See A167864 for additional
comments and references. [From Jonathan Sondow (jsondow(AT)alumni.princeton.edu),

%C A005597 C_2 = Product_{prime p>2} (p-2)p/(p-1)^2 is an analog for primes of Wallis'
product 2/pi = Product_{n=1 to oo} (2n-1)(2n+1)/(2n)^2. [From Jonathan
