The asymptotic behavior of the mean values of multiple zeta functions is of significant interest due to its close connection with the Riemann zeta function. In this paper, we establish asymptotic behavior of the mean square values of Barnes…

An algorithm is presented to compute isolated values of the divisor summatory function in O(n^(1/3)) time and O (log n) space. The algorithm is elementary and uses a geometric approach of successive approximation combined with coordinate…

By using the $q$-analogue of van der Corput's method we study the divisor function in an arithmetic progression to modulus $q$. We show that the expected asymptotic formula holds for a larger range of $q$ than was previously known, provided…

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…

We prove that for a large class of multiplicative functions, referred to as generalized divisor functions, it is possible to find a lower bound for the corresponding variance in arithmetic progressions. As a main corollary, we deduce such a…

We evaluate friable averages of arithmetic functions whose Dirichlet series is analytically close to some negative power of the Riemann zeta function. We obtain asymptotic expansions resembling those provided by the Selberg-Delange method…

Let $N$ be any fixed positive integer and define \begin{align*} S_N(x)=\sum_{m, n \leq x}d(n^2+Nm^2), \end{align*} where $d(n)$ is the divisor function. We evaluate asymptotically $S_N(x)$ for several $N$, extending earlier works of Gafurov…
