An extension of smooth numbers: multiple dense divisibility
The $i$-tuply $y$-densely divisible numbers were introduced by a Polymath project, as a weaker condition on the moduli than $y$-smoothness, in distribution estimates for primes in arithmetic progressions. We obtain the order of magnitude of the count of these integers up to $x$, uniformly in $x$ and $y$, for every fixed natural number $i$.
