Gilbreath's conjecture
Quizzes for review
(mathematics) A conjecture in number theory regarding the sequences generated by applying the forward difference operator to consecutive prime numbers and leaving the results unsigned, and then repeating this process on consecutive terms in the resulting sequence, and so forth. The first term in every such sequence appears to be 1.
Gilbreath's conjecture
Gilbreath's conjecture suggests that if you repeatedly apply the forward difference operator to the sequence of prime numbers and take absolute values, the first term of every resulting sequence is 1.
