中文版:素数间隙在线计算器
原理:相邻素数之差称为素数间隙。平均间隙随位置增长:在 x 附近约为 ln x(素数定理的直接推论),但局部起伏巨大——1 到 100 的平均间隙 ≈ 3.958333333333,最大间隙 8(89 → 97);到 10¹⁸ 附近已发现超过 1500 的间隙。孪生素数猜想断言间隙 = 2 出现无穷多次,而波利尼亚克猜想把它推广到任意偶间隙;张益唐 2013 年证明存在无穷多个小于 7000 万的间隙,目前界已压到 246。
步骤:输入区间 [a, b],工具用埃拉托斯特尼筛生成 ≤ b 的素数表,过滤出区间内素数,统计个数、首末位置、最大间隙及其全部出现位置、平均间隙与孪生对数。
示例:[2, 50] 内 15 个素数,最大间隙 6(23→29、31→37),平均 3.214285714286;[1, 100] 内 25 个素数,最大间隙 8(89→97),平均 3.958333333333;1 到 100 有 8 对孪生素数,1 到 500 有 24 对。
注意事项:区间跨度上限 200000(筛法内存与耗时控制);a ≥ 1 时区间从 2 开始筛,单个素数(区间内不足 2 个)无法定义间隙;最大间隙可能并列出现,工具列出全部位置;「孪生素数」按相邻素数差 = 2 计数,(3,5) 与 (5,7) 共享 5 各算一对。
