A remark on product partition (Q858075)

The authors investigate the function \(e^*\) defined by the Dirichlet product \(\prod _{n=2}^\infty (1-n^{-s})= \sum e^*(n) n^{-s}\). They give an asymptotic expansion for the sum \(E(x)=\sum _{n\leq x} e^*(n)\) with error term \(O(x ( \log x)^{-k}\) for arbitrary large \(k\). The terms involve Bessel functions of \(\sqrt { \log x}\), so they show a somewhat unusual oscillatory behaviour. The first term yields the asymptotic \[ E(x) \sim cx ( \log x) ^{-3/4} \cos ( 2 \sqrt { \log x} + \pi /4) . \]
