The Twin Prime Conjecture - An Analytical Approach

Authors: Patrick DiCarlo

This paper offers a proof of the twin prime conjecture. The basic strategy is to first establish that there is no highest prime number by calculating the rates at which the multiples of each successive prime preclude higher numbers from being prime, and then proving that this rate (in the aggregate) can never reach 100%. The same basic methodology is then used to show that there can also be no highest twin prime.
