A note on variants of Buchstab's identity

Number Theory 2025-04-14 v1

Abstract

The author proves variants of Buchstab's identity on sieve functions, refining the previous work on new iteration rules of Brady. The main tool used in the proof is a special form of combinatorial identities related to the binomial coefficients. As a by--product, the author obtains better inequalities of Fκ(s)F_{\kappa}(s) and fκ(s)f_{\kappa}(s) for dimensions κ>1\kappa > 1.
