We provide new sufficient conditions for Chebyshev estimates for Beurling generalized primes. It is shown that if the counting function $N$ of a generalized number system satisfies the $L^{1}$-condition $$…
We show that for Beurling generalized numbers the prime number theorem in remainder form $$\pi(x) = \operatorname*{Li}(x) + O\left(\frac{x}{\log^{n}x}\right) \quad \mbox{for all } n\in\mathbb{N}$$ is equivalent to (for some $a>0$) $$N(x) =…
We construct a Beurling generalized number system satisfying the Riemann hypothesis and whose integer counting function displays extremal oscillation in the following sense. The prime counting function of this number system satisfies…
In classical prime number theory there are several asymptotic formulas said to be "equivalent" to the PNT. One is the bound $M(x) = o(x)$ for the sum function of the Moebius function. For Beurling generalized numbers, this estimate is not…
We show that the sum function of the M\"{o}bius function of a Beurling number system must satisfy the asymptotic bound $M(x)=o(x)$ if it satisfies the prime number theorem and its prime distribution function arises from a monotone…
We establish the optimal order of Malliavin-type remainders in the asymptotic density approximation formula for Beurling generalized integers. Given $\alpha\in (0,1]$ and $c>0$ (with $c\leq 1$ if $\alpha=1$), a generalized number system is…
In this paper we first establish new explicit estimates for Chebyshev's $\vartheta$-function. Applying these new estimates, we derive new upper and lower bounds for some functions defined over the prime numbers, for instance the prime…
The function $\epsilon(x)=\mbox{li}(x)-\pi(x)$ is known to be positive up to the (very large) Skewes' number. Besides, according to Robin's work, the functions $\epsilon_{\theta}(x)=\mbox{li}[\theta(x)]-\pi(x)$ and…
We show that Hal\'{a}sz's theorem holds for Beurling numbers under the following two mild hypotheses on the generalized number system: existence of a positive density for the generalized integers and a Chebyshev upper bound for the…
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we provide uniform upper bounds with explicit main terms for moduli of $\left(\cL'/\cL\right)(s)$ and $\log{\cL(s)}$ for $1/2+\delta\leq\sigma<1$, fixed $\delta\in(0,1/2)$ and for functions in…
We provide a new version of the Wiener-Ikehara theorem where one deduces bounds $$ 0< \liminf_{x\to\infty} \frac{S(x)}{e^{x}}\leq \limsup_{x\to\infty} \frac{S(x)}{e^{x}} <\infty $$ for (in particular) a non-decreasing function $S$ from a…
Using some simple combinatorial arguments, we establish some new estimates for the prime counting function and its allied functions. In particular we show that \begin{align}\pi(x)=\Theta(x)+O\bigg(\frac{1}{\log x}\bigg), \nonumber…
Let $\{p_n\}_{n\ge 1}$ be the sequence of primes and $\vartheta(x) = \sum_{p \leq x} \log p$, where $p$ runs over the primes not exceeding $x$, be the Chebyshev $\vartheta$-function. In this note we derive lower and upper bounds for…
We show the following bounds on the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ using principles from analytic number theory, giving an estimate: $$2 \log 2 \geq \limsup_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\pi(x)}{x / \log x} \geq \liminf_{x \rightarrow…
We note an interesting and under-expressed fact from Chebyshev's initial bounding for the prime counting function, $\pi(x) := \# \{p \leq x : p \text{ prime}\},$ based upon a selection of fixed coefficients $d\in D$ to show $\psi(x) \asymp…
In this paper we discuss the generalizations of the concept of Chebyshev's bias from two perspectives. First we give a general framework for the study of prime number races and Chebyshev's bias attached to general $L$-functions satisfying…
Given $\beta\in(0,1)$, we show the existence of a Beurling generalized number system whose integer counting satisfies $N(x) = ax + O\bigl(x\exp(-c\log^{\beta} x)\bigr)$ for some $a>0$ and $c>0$, and whose prime counting function satisfies…
Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character mod $D$ with $L(s,\chi)$ its associated $L$-function, and let $\psi(x,q,a)$ be, as usual, Chebyshev's prime-counting function for the primes of the arithmetic progression $a$ (mod $q$) with $(a,q)=1$. For…
In this paper, we study the counting functions $\psi_\mathcal{P}(x)$, $N_\mathcal{P}(x)$ and $M_\mathcal{P}(x)$ of a generalized prime system $\mathcal{N}$. Here $M_\mathcal{P}(x)$ is the partial sum of the M\"{o}bius function over…
We improve the unconditional explicit bounds for the error term in the prime counting function $\psi(x)$. In particular, we prove that, for all $x>2$, we have \[ \left| \psi(x)-x \right| < 9.22106 \, x \, (\log x)^{3/2}…
