Abstract

In this paper, we study sums of shifted products nxF(n)G(nh)\sum\limits_{n \leq x} F(n) G(n-h) for any hx/2|h| \leq x/2 and arithmetic functions F=f1F=f*1 and G=g1G=g*1, with ff and gg small. We obtain asymptotic formula for different orders of magnitude of ff and gg. We also provide asymptotic formula for sums of the type nxμ2(n)G(nh)\sum\limits_{n \leq x} \mu^2(n) G(n-h), where G=g1G=g*1 and gg is small. For small order of magnitudes of ff and gg, we improve the error terms and make them independent of hh.
