Abstract
We establish the optimal order of Malliavin-type remainders in the asymptotic density approximation formula for Beurling generalized integers. Given $α\in (0,1]$ and $c>0$ (with $c\leq 1$ if $α=1$), a generalized number system is constructed with Riemann prime counting function $ Π(x)= \operatorname*{Li}(x)+ O(x\exp (-c \log^α x ) +\log_{2}x), $ and whose integer counting function satisfies the extremal oscillation estimate $N(x)=ρx + Ω_{\pm}(x\exp(- c'(\log x\log_{2} x)^{\fracα{α+1}})$ for any $c'>(c(α+1))^{\frac{1}{α+1}}$, where $ρ>0$ is its asymptotic density. In particular, this improves and extends upon the earlier work [Adv. Math. 370 (2020), Article 107240].
