Theorem 4 When $m \geqslant 1$, equation (23) must hold, i.e., there must be a prime $p$ satisfying $$m<p \leqslant 2 m$$
Let us first calculate $\alpha(p, 2 m)-2 \alpha(p, m)$ more precisely. When $m \geqslant 5$, we have $$p^{2}>4 m^{2} / 9>2 m \text {, when } 2 m / 3<p \leqslant m \text {, }$$ Therefore, when $2 m / 3<p \leqslant m$, we have $$\alpha(p, 2 m)-2 \alpha(p, m)=[2 m / p]-2[m / p]=0$$ Furthermore, from equation (6), we kno...

Theorem 6 Let $x \geqslant 2$, then there exists a positive constant $c_{7}$, such that $$\left(\ln x-c_{7}\right) \pi(x)<\theta(x)<(\ln x) \pi(x)$$ and $$\theta(x) \leqslant \psi(x) \leqslant \theta(x)+x^{1 / 2} \ln x .$$

We have $$\begin{aligned} \theta(x) & =\sum_{p \leq x} \ln p=\sum_{k \leq x} \ln k(\pi(k)-\pi(k-1)) \\ & =-\sum_{k=2}^{[x]-1} \pi(k)(\ln (k+1)-\ln k)+\pi([x]) \ln [x] . \end{aligned}$$ Using formula (14), we get $$\frac{1}{y+1}\ln (x-1)=\ln x+\ln (1-1 / x)>\ln x-1 /(x-1),$$ the last step uses f...

Example 6 Find the Möbius inverse transform $f(n)$ of $F(n)=\Lambda(n)$.
$\Lambda(n)$ is not multiplicative, so we cannot use equation (27). However, using equation (19) to obtain a good expression for $f(n)$ is quite difficult. Noting equation (24), we have $$\Lambda(n)=\left(\sum_{d \mid n} \mu(d)\right) \ln n-\sum_{d \mid n} \mu(d) \ln d$$ Using equation (18), we get $$\Lambda(n)=-\sum_...

Example 8 Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients, and let $S(n ; P(x))$ denote the number of integers $d$ satisfying the following conditions: $$(P(d), n)=1, \quad 1 \leqslant d \leqslant n$$
Prove: $S(n)=S(n ; P(x))$ is a multiplicative function of $n$. Proof Using property (18), we have $$S(n)=\sum_{\substack{d=1 \\(P(d), n)=1}}^{n} 1=\sum_{d=1}^{n} \sum_{k \mid(P(d), n)} \mu(k)=\sum_{k \mid n} \mu(k) \sum_{\substack{d=1 \\ k \mid P(d)}}^{n} 1$$ Let $T(k)=T(k ; P(x))$ denote the number of solutions to th...
