What is the asymptotic behavior of the number of primes of the form $2^n+1$ lower than a given N?

71 Views Asked by At

I known that it is not known whether there are infinitely many prime numbers of the form $2^n+1$ or not, but is there any heuristic approach to its asymptotic behavior?

Thank you.

Once I read this beatiful article of Caldwell, explaining basic heuristic related to this kind of open problems. I think it is what you are searching (in particular, see Conjecture 1.2).
