On a weighted sum over multiplicative functions and its applications to the GPY sieve

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotics of a class of weighted sums over multiplicative functions and apply our results to deduce a stronger asymptotic form of Yitang Zhang's smoothened GPY sieve with coefficient expressions that are friendly to numerical computations.
