Inequalities for weighted sums of Mertens functions (Q2316819)

For a positive integer \(N\), let \(M(N)\) denote the sum \(\sum_{n=1}^N\mu(n)\), where the arithmetic function \(\mu\) is the Möbius function. In this article, the following sharp inequality is proved: \[ \sum_{j=0}^N \lambda^j-\sum_{k=1}^{N-1}M(\lfloor (N-1)/k)\rfloor)\sum_{j=0}^{N-k}\lambda^j\geq 0, \] for \(N>1\) and \(0\leq \lambda\leq 1\).
