From: Ludovicus on
I ask if someone knows an approximate formula for calculating
the expected maximum gap between consecutive pairs of
twin primes in the neighborhood of a given number N.
For the primes I developed the formula : [log(N) - loglog(N)]^2
This curve match satisfactorily the data of known large gaps.

Does your formula hold for the record of known
twins?

Or are there gaps in these that contain twins?


Also the largest composite that would contain
the record twins would be --
(65516468355·2^333333)^2 -1 ;-)
