    Abstract:

Let $ t_{s,n} $ be the $ n$-th positive integer number which can be written as a power $ p^t$, $ tgeq s$, of a prime $ p$ ($ sgeq 1$ is fixed). Let $ % pi _s(x)$ denote the number of prime powers $ p^t$, $ tgeq s$, not exceeding $ x$. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the sequence $ t_{s,n} $ and of the function $ pi _s(x)$. We prove that the sequence $ t_{s,n} $ has an asymptotic expansion comparable to that of $ p_n $ (the Cipolla's expansion).
