An Abelian remainder estimate #
This file isolates the dominated-convergence argument used after the logarithmic change of variables in Mertens' theorem. A fixed positive cutoff avoids imposing artificial hypotheses at the origin.
A reusable Abelian remainder lemma on a half-line with positive cutoff.
The weighted integrability assumption is exactly what is supplied by local
integrability together with an eventual O(1/u) estimate: on compact pieces
division by u is harmless, while on the tail it gives an integrable
O(1/u^2) majorant.
Local weighted integrability plus an explicit C/u tail bound gives the
global weighted integrability needed by the Abelian remainder lemma.
The practical cutoff form: a compact initial piece and an eventual
C/u estimate imply that the exponentially damped remainder vanishes in the
Abelian limit ε → 0+.
