The elementary Selberg symmetry formula can be written
ψ(x)+logx1​∑n≤x​Λ(n)ψ(x/n)=2x+O(logxx​).
(1)
Use the weights λd​=μ(d)log(x/d)/logx. Their divisor sum is 1n=1​+Λ(n)/logx. Apply them to the integrated Chebyshev sum, then use the Möbius harmonic logarithmic moments. The Chebyshev estimate shows this is equivalent, with an O(x) error, to ∑n≤x​Λ(n)logn+∑mn≤x​Λ(m)Λ(n)=2xlogx+O(x).
