With these formulae, $M(n)$ can be calculated directly and simply, which can be easily implemented by computer. $M (1) \\sim M (2 \\times 10^7) $ are calculated one by one. Based on these $2\\times 10^7$ samples, some of the complicated properties for Mertens function $M(n)$, its 18144 zeros, the 11040 local maximum/minimum between two neighbor zeros, and the relation with the cumulative sum of the squarefree integers, are understood numerically and empirically.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-12-05T15:30:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "mertens function", "elementary formulae", "complicated properties", "local maximum/minimum", "neighbor zeros" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
