Arithmetic functions of higher-order primes

Kyle Czarnecki and Andrew Giddings

Vol. 13 (2020), No. 2, 181–191

Abstract

The sieve of Eratosthenes (SoE) is a well-known method of extracting the set of prime numbers $ℙ$ from the set positive integers $ℕ$ . Applying the SoE again to the index of the prime numbers will result in the set of prime-indexed primes $ℙ_{2} = {3, 5, 11, 17, 31, \dots}$ . More generally, the application of the SoE $k$ -times will yield the set $ℙ_{k}$ of $k$ -th order primes. In this paper, we give an upper bound for the $n$ -th $k$ -order prime as well as some results relating to number-theoretic functions over $ℙ_{k}$ .
