Vaughan's identity

Vaughan's identity

In mathematics, Vaughan's identity is an identity found by harvs|txt=yes|authorlink=Robert Charles Vaughan (mathematician)|last=Vaughan|first=R. C. |year=1977 that can be used to simplify Vinogradov's work on trigonometric sums. It can be used to estimate sums of the form:sum f(n)Lambda(n)where "f" is some function of positive integers "n", whose values in applications are often roots of unity, and Λ is the von Mangoldt function.

Vaughan's identity has been used to simplify the proof of the Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem and to study Kummer sums.

Vaughan's identity was generalized by harvtxt|Heath-Brown|1982.
