patent val

A term formerly known as "standard val". See definition below.

For any positive integer n and prime limit p, the patent val for n and p is defined to be the following:

< n round(n log₂(3)) round(n log₂(5)) ... round(n log₂(p) |

Here "round" means the function rounding to the nearest integer, also called the nint function, and written round(x), nint(x), [x] or ||x|| for a real number x.
