In this note, we provide refined estimates of the following sums involving the Euler totient function: n≤x φ x n and n≤x φ([x/n]) [x/n] where [x] denotes the integral part of real x. The above summations were recently considered by Bordellès et al. and Wu.

“…Very recently, Wu [2] improved (2) and Zhai [3] resolved conjecture (3) by showing S φ (x) � 6 π 2 x log x + O x(log x) (2/3) log 2 x (1/3) , (4) and also proved that the error term in (4) is Ω(x), where log 2 denotes the iterated logarithm. Some related works can be found in [4,5].…”

“…(ε, 1 2 + ε) is an exponent pair, see [7]), Bordellès' (1.3) only gives the exponent 28 59 ≈ 0.4745, which is larger than our constant 9 19 ≈ 0.4736. Some related works on the quantity (1.1) can be found in [10,15].…”
Let Λ(n) be the von Mangoldt function, and let [t] be the integral part of real number t. In this note, we prove that for any ε > 0 the asymptotic formulaholds. This improves a recent result of Bordellès, which requires 97 203 in place of 9 19 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
