Screened residual comparison at arbitrary depth #
The full screened residual comparison and continuous outer-mass estimates yield integral majorants for fixed-depth boundary contributions.
All declarations retain the MathlibNt.SieveTheory.SwitchingPrinciple namespace.
Fixed-depth residual comparisons for every positive screen. Internally a smaller screen below one is used when necessary; strengthening the screen then gives the stated predicate.
Uniform fixed-depth comparison on a positive bounded level range. The
strict inherited face and its bound by one already force every prime in the
carrier below the ambient cutoff z.
Fixed-depth comparison at the lower screen forced by a nonzero outer
depth-k contribution.
The depth-dependent pointwise comparison at upper face 1 remains valid
when the carrier is only known to lie in the closed cutoff p ≤ z. The proof
approaches z from above, where the inherited face is strict, and uses
positive-depth continuity; depth zero is exact.
At every positive fixed depth, the continuous outer boundary mass admits a
uniform Stieltjes transfer on 3 / 2 ≤ s ≤ 4. Joint continuity on the compact
level/cutoff box supplies the common mesh modulus.
Every positive fixed-depth complete outer Rosser contribution converges uniformly on the upper-sieve range to its continuous boundary integral.
The outer prime sum weighted by the complete continuous depth-two mass is, uniformly on the upper-sieve range, bounded by the depth-two boundary integral. This is the final one-dimensional Stieltjes step in the depth-two comparison.
The screened depth-two residual prime sum is uniformly bounded by its continuous boundary integral.
Uniform depth-two comparison between the explicit finite Rosser boundary sum and its continuous Buchstab integral.
Fixed-mesh inner depth-two estimate with its closed-face hypothesis discharged uniformly. A common positive lower bound for the mesh supplies the atom cutoff; no additional analytic hypothesis is required.
