Abstract
For , let denote the reciprocal sum up to of numbers with prime factors, counted with multiplicity. In prior work, the authors obtained estimates for , extending Mertens' second theorem, as well as a finer-scale estimate for up to error for any . In this article, we establish the limiting behavior of the higher Mertens constants from the estimate. We also extend these results to , and we remark on the general case .
