A Successive Approximation Algorithm for Computing the Divisor Summatory Function

Number Theory 2012-06-18 v1

Abstract

An algorithm is presented to compute isolated values of the divisor summatory function in O(n^(1/3)) time and O (log n) space. The algorithm is elementary and uses a geometric approach of successive approximation combined with coordinate transformation.
