Abstract:
We discuss a variation of Euclid's Proof so as to turns the proof into a combinatorial algorithm for sifting primes. We further modify our construction to sieve out totally odd numbers and describe our ongoing efforts to estimates their density among the integers. This is joint work with Patrick Devlin.
