Distribution of integers with specified multiplicative constraints (11N25)

Abstract: For $xgey>1$ and $u:=logx/logy$, let $Phi(x,y)$ denote the number of positive integers up to $x$ free of prime divisors less than or equal to $y$. In 1950 de Bruijn [1] studied the approximation of $Phi(x,y)$ by the quantity [mu_y(u)e^{gamma}xlog yprod_{pleq y}left(1-frac{1}{p} ight),] where $gamma=\mathrm{0.5772156...}$ is Euler's constant and [mu_y(u):=int_{1}^{u}y^{t-u}omega(t),dt.] He showed that the asymptotic formula [Phi(x,y)=mu_y(u)e^{gamma}xlog yprod_{pleq y}left(1-frac{1}{p} ight)+Oleft(frac{xR(y)}{log y} ight)] holds uniformly for all $xgeyge2$, where $R(y)$ is a positive decreasing function related to the error estimates in the Prime Number Theorem. In this paper we obtain numerically explicit versions of de Bruijn's result.
