Abstract
In previous joint work with Tenenbaum, the truncation step in the conditional effective Erdos-Wintner theorem on the fibre yields, in the continuous case for real strongly additive , a remainder of size , where is the truncation level and . We prove an effective linear truncation lemma showing that, in the central window , this bound improves to the natural linear scale under an effective Sathe-Selberg-type ratio estimate for the fibre. This yields a direct effective sharpening of the truncation step in the previous joint work. The same truncation upgrade also applies to prime-set restrictions, -fibres, and weighted fibres whenever the corresponding ratio estimate is available.
