In this note, we take another look at some arithmetic identities of N.J. Fine associated with divisor functions. We connect these functions with indefinite quadratic forms using a result due to Andrews. As a consequence, arithmetic theorems…
We estimate asymptotically the fourth moment of the Riemann zeta-function twisted by a Dirichlet polynomial of length $T^{\frac14 - \varepsilon}$. Our work relies crucially on Watt's theorem on averages of Kloosterman fractions. In the…
We generalize McDiarmid's inequality for functions with bounded differences on a high probability set, using an extension argument. Those functions concentrate around their conditional expectations. We further extend the results to…
The Riemann Hypothesis has been of central interest to mathematicians for a long time and many unsuccessful attempts have been made to either prove or disprove it. Since the Riemann zeta function is defined as a sum of the infinite number…
Inequalities play an important role in pure and applied mathematics. In particular, Opial inequality plays a main role in the study of the existence and uniqueness of initial and boundary value problems for differential equations. It has…
The main aim of the paper is to present a general version of the Fourier Tauberian theorem for monotone functions. This result, together with Berezin's inequality, allows us to obtain a refined version the Li-Yau estimate for the counting…
In this paper, the author establishes some Hadamard-type and Bullen-type inequalities for Lipschitzian functions via Riemann Liouville fractional integral. These results have some relationships with [K.-L. Tseng, S.-R. Hwang and K.-C. Hsu,…
Conditionally on the Riemann hypothesis we prove asymptotic formulae for mean values of various long Dirichlet polynomials involving the von Mangoldt function. Our results avoid the use of correlation sum estimates although in addition to…
By simple elementary method,we obtain with ease,a highly simple expression for the remainder term of the divisor problem and use it to obtain an Euler-Maclaurin analogue of summation involving divisor function.We also obtain a relation…
Some assertions in harmonic analysis on the infinite dimensional torus are stated and their equivalence to Riemann hypothesis is proved.
The divisor function $\sigma(n)$ sums the divisors of $n$. We call $n$ abundant when $\sigma(n) - n > n$ and perfect when $\sigma(n) - n = n$. I recently introduced the recursive divisor function $a(n)$, the recursive analog of the divisor…
The Riemann hypothesis (RH) is well known. In this paper we would show some sufficient conditions for the RH. The first condition is related with the sum of divisors function and another one is related with the Chebyshev's function.
We deduce asymptotic formulas for the alternating sums $\sum_{n\le x} (-1)^{n-1} f(n)$ and $\sum_{n\le x} (-1)^{n-1} \frac1{f(n)}$, where $f$ is one of the following classical multiplicative arithmetic functions: Euler's totient function,…
Let $\phi(n)$ be the Euler totient function and $\sigma(n)$ denote the sum of divisors of $n$. In this note, we obtain explicit upper bounds on the number of positive integers $n\leq x$ such that $\phi(\sigma(n)) > cn$ for any $c>0$. This…
We prove an averaged version of a claim suspected to be true by Alladi, Erd\"os, and Vaaler. Qualitatively, the result states that a divisor sum of a multiplicative function, which obeys certain size constraints, derives most of its value…
For a function $f\colon \mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$, let $$ N^+_f(x)=\{n\leq x: n=k+f(k) \mbox{ for some } k\}. $$ Let $\tau(n)=\sum_{d|n}1$ be the divisor function, $\omega(n)=\sum_{p|n}1$ be the prime divisor function, and…
Let $\tau(n)$ stand for the number of divisors of the positive integer $n$. We obtain upper bounds for $\tau(n)$ in terms of $\log n$ and the number of distinct prime factors of $n$.
The image of Euler's totient function is composed of the number 1 and even numbers. However, many even numbers are not in the image. We consider the problem of finding those even numbers which are in the image and those which are not. If an…
Approximation in measure is employed to solve an asymptotic Dirichlet problem on arbitrary open sets and to show that many functions, including the Riemann zeta-function, are universal in measure. Connections with the Riemann Hypothesis are…
We show that the equation phi(a)=\sigma(b) has infinitely many solutions, where phi is Euler's totient function and sigma is the sum-of-divisors function. This proves a 50-year old conjecture of Erdos. Moreover, we show that there are…
