Abstract:

We prove explicit estimates of 1/ζ(s) of various orders, and use an improved version of the Perron formula to get explicit estimates for the Mertens function M(x) of order O(x), O(x/logkx), and O(xlogxexp(logx). These estimates are good for small, medium, and large ranges of x, respectively.
