Die Reihe: \[ \psi(x) = \tfrac 1 2 + \tfrac 1 3 + \tfrac 1 5 + \tfrac 1 7 + \cdots + \tfrac 1 x \] ist gleich \[ g+\log\log x - \tfrac 1 2 \text{\,li\,} x^{-\frac 1 2} - \tfrac 1 3 \text{\,li\,} x^{-\frac 2 3} - \tfrac 1 5 \text{\,li\,} x^{-\frac 4 5} + \tfrac 1 6 \text{\,li\,} x^{-\frac 5 6} - \tfrac 1 7 \text{\,li\,} x^{-\frac 6 7}+ \tfrac 1 {10} \text{\,li\,} x^{-\frac 9 {10}} \cdots, \] wo \(g\) eine Constante ist. Für ein hinreichend grosses \(x\) kann man sich auf die beiden ersten Glieder beschränken. Ebenso ist \[ \begin{multlined} \frac 1 {2^n} + \frac 1 {3^n} + \frac 1 {5^n} + \cdots + \frac 1 {x^n} = g_n + \text{li\,} x^{-n+1} - \tfrac 1 2 \text{\,li\,} x^{-n+\frac 1 2} - \frac 1 3 \text{\,li\,} x^{-n+\frac 1 3} \\ - \tfrac 1 5 \text{\,li\,} x^{-n+\frac 1 5}+ \tfrac 1 6 \text{\,li\,} x^{-n+\frac 1 6} - \tfrac 1 7 \text{\,li\,} x^{-n+\frac 1 7} + \cdots, \end{multlined} \] wo \[ g_n = \varSigma_n = \frac 1 {2^n} + \frac 1 {3^n} + \frac 1 {5^n} + \frac 1 {7^n} + \frac 1 {11^n} + \cdots \] ist. Ferner \[ \tfrac 2 1.\tfrac 3 2.\tfrac 5 4.\tfrac 7 6 \cdots \tfrac x {x-1} = a \log x (1 - \tfrac 1 2 \text{\,li\,} x^{-\tfrac 1 2} - \tfrac 1 3 \text{\,li\,} x^{-\frac 2 3} - \cdots); \] nach Legendre ist dies Product für einen grossen Wert von \(x\) angenähert gleich \[ \frac A {\log x - \text{0,08366}} \,. \] Setzt man für \(A\) den Wert 1,104, so ergiebt sich \[ a=\tfrac 2 A = 1,812. \]
