Landau–Ramanujan constant

Landau–Ramanujan constant

In mathematics, the Landau–Ramanujan constant occurs in a number theory result that the proportion of positive integers less than x which are the sum of two square numbers is, for large x, varies as

x/{sqrt{ln(x)}}.

The constant of proportionality is the Landau–Ramanujan constant, which was discovered independently by Edmund Landau and Srinivasa Ramanujan.

More formally, if N(x) is the number of positive integers less than x which are the sum of two squares, then

lim_{xrightarrowinfty} frac{N(x)sqrt{ln(x)}}{x}approx 0.76422365358922066299069873125.
