| Abstract: | Inspired by Durfee Conjecture in singularity theory, Yau formulated the Yau number theoretic conjecture (see Conjecture 1.3) which gives a sharp polynomial upper bound of the number of positive integral points in an n-dimensional (n ≥ 3) polyhedron. It is well known that getting the estimate of integral points in the polyhedron is equivalent to getting the estimate of the de Bruijn function ψ(x, y), which is important and has a number of applications to analytic number theory and cryptography. We prove the Yau Number Theoretic Conjecture for n = 6. As an application, we give a sharper estimate of function ψ(x, y) for 5 ≤ y < 17, compared with the result obtained by Ennola. |
