The number of lattice points below a logarithmic curve (Q1383593)

The author considers the number of lattice points \(R(b,t)\) between a logarithmic curve and the \(x\)-axis, where the points on the \(x\)-axis are counted with factor \(1/2\), that is \[ R(b,t)= \sum_{1\leq n\leq t} \bigl( [\log_b n]+ \textstyle{\frac 12} \bigr). \] Here, \(b>1\) and \(t\) is a large parameter. For the lattice rest, \(R(b,t)-\text{area}\), he gives \(O\)- and \(\Omega_\pm\)-estimations of the same order \(t\) which hold uniformly in all \(b\geq \beta>1\). Further, an estimation for \(b\to 1\) is given which holds uniformly for all \(t\geq 1\). For the proofs, some results from the theory of uniform distribution of sequences are used.
