Sur la répartition des valeurs de la fonction d'Euler

Abstract

Let Φ(x) denote the number of those integers n with ϕ(n)≤ x, where ϕ denotes the Euler function. Improving on a well-known estimate of Bateman (1972), we show that Φ(x)-Ax ≪ R(x), where A=ζ(2)ζ(3)/ζ(6) and R(x) is essentially of the size of the best available estimate for the remainder term in the prime number theorem.
