The Buchstab function (or Buchstab's function) is the unique continuous function defined by the delay differential equation : : In the second equation, the derivative at ''u'' = 2 should be taken as ''u'' approaches 2 from the right. It is named after Alexander Buchstab, who wrote about it in 1937. ==Asymptotics== The Buchstab function approaches rapidly as where is the Euler–Mascheroni constant. In fact, : where ''ρ'' is the Dickman function.〔(5.13), Jurkat and Richert 1965. In this paper the argument of ''ρ'' has been shifted by 1 from the usual definition.〕 Also, oscillates in a regular way, alternating between extrema and zeroes; the extrema alternate between positive maxima and negative minima. The interval between consecutive extrema approaches 1 as ''u'' approaches infinity, as does the interval between consecutive zeroes.〔p. 131, Cheer and Goldston 1990.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buchstab function」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
