    A nondivisor contributes exactly Liu's universal base factor.

    Away from 2, Liu's local factor is the legacy local factor.

    Liu's source-normalized finite truncation: only odd primes p ≤ z.

      For even N, the legacy truncation differs from Liu's finite truncation by exactly the local factor 2.

      At the legacy cutoff N, the proxy is exactly twice Liu's finite source-normalized truncation.

            Every finite universal product dominates the full product. This is the monotone Euler-tail inequality; unlike pointwise convergence, it is uniform in the source integer.

                  Truncating the divisor correction can only decrease it. Unlike the exact identity above, this comparison applies at cutoffs below N.

                  Liu's genuine source singular series: its finite divisor correction times the convergent universal odd-prime product.

                  Instances For

                    Liu's singular series is uniformly bounded below by its positive universal Euler product; every divisor correction factor is at least one.

                    The universal Euler truncations approach the full product from above, uniformly enough for the varying source integer used in Chen's sieve.

                    Uniform upper comparison of every source truncation with Liu's genuine singular series. Missing divisor factors only decrease the correction, while the universal Euler tail is independent of N.

                    For even source integers, the legacy sieve proxy is exactly twice the true Liu series divided by its positive finite-cutoff tail. Since that tail tends to 1, the proxy has the wrong asymptotic normalization by a factor 2.

                    The finite sieve-normalized proxy dominates twice Liu's genuine series. The proof uses only the sign of the universal Euler tail, not fixed-N convergence.
