A proof of the oscillation estimate \(E(n)=\Omega_{ \pm}\left(n^{\phi-1-c}\right)\) is given, where \(E(n):=\) \(F(n)-\phi^{2-\phi} n^{\phi-1}\) and \(F\) is the nondecreasing "self describing" sequence \(1,2,2,3,3\), 4. 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9... defined by \(F(1)=1\) a
Kummer conjectured the asymptotic behavior of the first factor of the class number of a cyclotomic field. If we only ask for upper and lower bounds of the order of growth predicted by Kummer, then this modified Kummer conjecture is true for almost all primes.
This paper gives an improved lower bound on the degrees d such that for general points p 1 p n β P 2 and m > 0 there is a plane curve of degree d vanishing at each p i with multiplicity at least m.
