The approximate uniform sampling conjecture for gaps in survival intervals
The approximate uniform sampling conjecture for gaps in survival intervals
Let be a prime, let be the corresponding Eratosthenes-sieve cycle, and let be its interval of survival. The population of a gap is its number of occurrences in the relevant interval or cycle. Approximate uniform sampling conjecture. For large enough primes, the populations of the gaps within are approximately uniformly sampled from their populations in . This narrower conjecture is presented as sufficient for the paper's estimates of surviving sieve gaps; no resolution is given in the source.
