Generalization of Erdős-Kac theorem

Abstract

Let ω(n) is the number of distinct prime factors of the natural number n,we consider two cases where \ell is even and odd natural numbers, and then we prove a more general form of the classical Erdős-Kac theorem.

Keywords

Erdős-Kac theorem / central limit theorem / value distribution
