Abstract: E. D. F. Meissel, a German astronomer, found in the 1870's a method for computing individual values of p(x), the counting function for the number of primes x. His method was based on recurrences for partial sieving functions, and he used it to compute p(10 9 ). D. H. Lehmer simplified and extended Meissel's method. We present further refinements of the Meissel-Lehmer method which incorporate some new sieving techniques. We give an asymptotic running time analysis of the resulting ... (Update)
