Remark on the irrationality of the Brun's constant

Original · EN

We have calculated numerically geometrical means of the denominators of the continued fraction approximations to the Brun constant B2. We get values close to the Khinchin constant. Next we calculated the n-th square roots of the denominators of the n-th convergents of these continued fractions obtaining values close to the Khinchin-Levy constant. These two results suggests that B2 is irrational, supporting the common believe that there is an infinity of twins.
