In this paper, we establish new explicit bounds for the Mertens function $M(x)$. In particular, we compare $M(x)$ against a short-sum over the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$, whose difference we can bound using…

Purpose of writing this paper is to solve a transcendental function containing a product of a variable and its double exponential by a unique method of approximation. If the value of the said product is given, then its inverse function is…

Metric estimates are quantities that approximate the word metric of a finitely presented group up to multiplicative constants. In this paper, they are computed for some nilpotent groups and used to compute the distortion functions of…

In this paper we give new estimates for integrals involving some arithmetic functions defined over prime numbers. The main focus here is on the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ and the Chebyshev $\vartheta$-function. Some of these estimates…

We describe Monte Carlo methods for estimating lower envelopes of expectations of real random variables. We prove that the estimation bias is negative and that its absolute value shrinks with increasing sample size. We discuss fairly…

We propose a lower estimation for computing quantity of the inverses of Euler's function. We answer the question about the multiplicity of $m$ in the equation $\varphi(x) = m$ \cite{Ford}. An analytic expression for exact multiplicity of $m…

Let $\theta >2$ be real and non-integral with integer part $n = \lfloor \theta \rfloor$ and let $ \phi (x)$ be a generalised polynomial with leading term $x^\theta.$ We establish a mean value estimate for the exponential sum…

For real $\xi$ we consider the irrationality measure function $\psi_\xi(t) = \min_{1\leqslant q \leqslant t, q\in\mathbb{Z}} || q\xi ||$, where $||\cdot||$ - distance to the nearest integer. We prove that in the case…

We give explicit numerical values with 100 decimal digits for the Mertens constant involved in the asymptotic formula for $\sum\limits_{\substack{p\leq x p\equiv a \bmod{q}}}1/p$ and, as a by-product, for the Meissel-Mertens constant…

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…
