We estimate the error term in the Ingham Tauberian theorem. This estimation of the error term is accomplished by considering an elementary proof of a weak form of Wiener's general Tauberian theorem and by using a zero-free region for the Riemann zeta function. 1. Introduction. As an important application of his general Tauberian theorem (GTT), in 1932, Wiener [6] gave a new proof of the prime n...
