Type

We set up a sieve problem as follows. Take a finite set of natural numbers A, whose elements are weighted by a sequence a n. Also take a finite set of primes P, represented by a squarefree natural number. These are the primes that we will sift from our set A. Suppose we can approximate ∑ n ∈ A with d ∣ n, a n = ν d * X + R d, where X is an approximation to the total size of A and ν is a multiplicative arithmetic function such that 0 < ν p < 1 for all primes p ∣ P. Then a sieve-type theorem will give us an upper (or lower) bound on the size of the sifted sum ∑ n ∈ support with n.Coprime P, a n, obtained by removing any elements of A that are a multiple of a prime in P.
