Pseudorandomness in 0's and 2's distribution in the iterated absolute differences of primes
Abstract
Be dm,n a generic element in the infinite matrix D, with d1, n defined as the n-th prime number and, for any m>1, dm, n = | dm-1, n - dm-1, n+1 | When n>1, after the first few terms the columns in the matrix appear to be constituted entirely by 0s and 2s. Here is reported a computation over about 4.55x108 elements of D, which suggests a pseudo-random distribution of these two values.
