COMMENTS

From Husnain Raza, Aug 30 2023: (Start)

Note that since p_n > n*log(n), we can place a bound on the tail of the sum:

Sum_{n >= N} (prime(2n))^(-2) <= Sum_{n >= N} (2*n*log(2n))^(-2) <= Integral_{x=N..oo} (2*x*log(2x))^(-2) dx.

Taking the sum over all primes < 10^12, we see that the constant lies between 0.14471558668870 and 0.14471558668873. (End)
