Abstract

For all α1,α2(1,2)\alpha_1,\alpha_2\in(1,2) with 1/α1+1/α2>5/31/\alpha_1+1/\alpha_2>5/3, we show that the number of pairs (n1,n2)(n_1,n_2) of positive integers with N=n1α1+n2α2N=\lfloor{n_1^{\alpha_1}}\rfloor+\lfloor{n_2^{\alpha_2}}\rfloor is equal to Γ(1+1/α1)Γ(1+1/α2)Γ(1/α1+1/α2)1N1/α1+1/α21+o(N1/α1+1/α21)\Gamma(1+1/\alpha_1)\Gamma(1+1/\alpha_2)\Gamma(1/\alpha_1+1/\alpha_2)^{-1}N^{1/\alpha_1+1/\alpha_2-1} + o(N^{1/\alpha_1+1/\alpha_2-1}) as NN\to\infty, where Γ\Gamma denotes the gamma function. Moreover, we show a non-asymptotic result for the same counting problem when α1,α2(1,2)\alpha_1,\alpha_2\in(1,2) lie in a larger range than the above. Finally, we give some asymptotic formulas for similar counting problems in a heuristic way.
