Abstract

We continue our study of convolution sums of two arithmetical functions ff and gg, of the form nNf(n)g(n+h)\sum_{n \le N} f(n) g(n+h), in the context of heuristic asymptotic formul\ae. Here, the integer h0h\ge 0 is called, as usual, the {\it shift} of the convolution sum. We deepen the study of finite Ramanujan expansions of general f,gf,g for the purpose of studying their convolution sum. Also, we introduce another kind of Ramanujan expansion for the convolution sum of ff and gg, namely in terms of its shift hh and we compare this \lq \lq shifted Ramanujan expansion\rq \rq, with our previous finite expansions in terms of the ff and gg arguments. Last but not least, we give examples of such shift expansions, in classical literature, for the heuristic formul\ae.
