Distribution of gaps and variations

Distribution of gaps

 It is possible to say only that

Gaps which are multiples of 6 are more common than other gaps

and

as 'm' increases frequencies of occurence of gap values decreases. 

Andrew Odlyzko, Michael Rubinstein, and Marek Wolf provide a persuative argument that the gap of 6 is the most commonly occurring, "a jumping champion", until ~1.7´1036, where it changes as a jumping champion to 30, and suggest that it changes to 210 next to ~5.81´10428 , etc.

 

Distribution of variations

 

  Variations |V| ~0 constitute major series
Variations  V 0  constitute minor series

Distribution  of  proportions of variations'  absolute values
(ratios of frequencies of occurence to the number of primes in a range)

 

  In this chart the proportion of frequency of occurrence of V=0 has been doubled

See regressions of these distributions

 

 Range of primes until

100,000,000

200,000,000

 |V|~0 constitute series 

0.196e - 0.071| V |

0.172e - 0.067| V |

 |V| 0 constitute series 

0.079e - 0.071| V |

0.069e - 0.067| V |

 M/m

2.474

2.498

|K | = 1 for V ~0   and   |K| = 0 for V 0

so

Y ≈ M(M/m) |K|-1 e - b|V|

In the infinite general set of primes  
 what consecutive primes of any class appear independently in

M/m 3/2

The rule of the distribution of variations' absolute values is much stricter (and more beautiful) than one of gaps values, and the significance of key number 6 is much more obvious!

What is the reson of six period oscillations in these histograms?

It is the probabilities of groups of two and three consecutive primes of the same class 
constituting gaps and variations multiple of 6.

For the infinite general primes' set, 
The probability of being the next prime of the class of the previous one is equal ½.

So, probability of being gaps multiple of 6 is ½.
The ratio of the number of P+ to the number of P
- in the range until 100,000,000 is equal p+/ p-= 1.00015 ≈1,  
therefore G+(Pn+
-Pn -1-)and G-(Pn- - Pn -1+) have almost equal probabities of occurrence, too, i.e. ¼ per each a class. 
So,
G0 are more common than G+ or G-.
 

Accordingly, the probability of being the three consecutive primes of the same class is equal (½)2.
Therefore, probability of being variations multiple is
¼, and probability of being V+ or V- is 3/8.
So, V0 are less common than V+ or V-.

As the range of primes increases, 'm' and 'b' decrease

See Variations Distribution

Because of that, a suspicion of the possibility of turning the slope horizontal and even going upward arises.

It means to be similar to the change of "jumping champion".
