Abstract

Sifting limits for the Λ2Λ\Lambda^{2}\Lambda^{-} sieve, Selberg's lower bound sieve, are computed for integral dimensions 1<κ101<\kappa\le10. The evidence strongly suggests that for all κ3\kappa\ge3 the Λ2Λ\Lambda^{2}\Lambda^{-} sieve is superior to the competing combinatorial sieves of Diamond, Halberstam, and Richert. A method initiated by Grupp and Richert for computing sieve functions for integral κ\kappa is also outlined.
