On sums over the Möbius function and discrepancy of fractions (Q2444490): Difference between revisions

The authors study upper bounds of partial sums like \(\displaystyle\sum_{\substack{ n\leq x\\ n\equiv b \bmod k}} \mu_p(n)\), where \(\mu_p\) is the Möbius function supported on a semigroup \(\langle P\rangle\) of integers. They deduce upper bounds for the discrepancy of fractions in the unit interval, whose denominators satisfy similar restrictions. In particular the uniform distribution and approximation of discrete weighted averages over such fractions are established.
