Buchstab function


The Buchstab function (or Buchstab's function) is the unique continuous function defined by the delay differential equation

In the second equation, the derivative at u = 2 should be taken as u approaches 2 from the right. It is named after Alexander Buchstab, who wrote about it in 1937.

The Buchstab function approaches rapidly as where is the Euler–Mascheroni constant. In fact,
