ardy and littlewood conjectured that every large integer $n$ that is not a square is the sum of a prime and a square. they believed that the number $mathcal{r}(n)$ of such representations for $n = p+m^2$ is asymptotically given by begin{equation*} mathcal{r}(n) sim frac{sqrt{n}}{log n}prod_{p=3}^{infty}left(1-frac{1}{p-1}left(frac{n}{p}right)right), end{equation*} where $p$ is a prime, $m$ is a...
