Abstract

For integer nn and real uu, define Δ(n,u):={d:dn,eu<deu+1}\Delta(n,u):= |\{d : d \mid n,\,{\rm e}^u <d\leqslant {\rm e}^{u+1} \}|. Then, put Δ(n):=maxuRΔ(n,u). \Delta(n):=\max_{u\in{\mathbb R}} \Delta(n,u). We provide uniform upper and lower bounds for the mean-value of Δ(n)\Delta(n) over friable integers, i.e. integers free of large prime factors.
