| Mar 1, 2011 at 11:59 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | Try a simple example - say, compute $\Omega(p+2)$ for all primes $p$ up to 1000. Then ask yourself what the chances are that there is some useful formula for the resulting sequence. | |
| Nov 30, 2010 at 5:30 | comment | added | J Hato | Thanks for the advice, but I have a followup question. I already assumed that if the function existed, that it couldn't be polynomial, let alone linear; what types of functions would this most likely fit under, given that it exists? | |
