In this article, we obtain effective estimates for the error term $\Delta_{k}(x)$ for all integers $k \geq2$, and completely explicit estimates for integers $k \in [3,9]$. The explicit results improve the powers of $x$ appearing in the…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the shifted convolution of the divisor functions $d_k(n)$ and $d(n)$ with $k \geq 4$, which is uniform in the shift parameter and which has a power-saving error term, improving results obtained previously…

For a fixed integer $k$, we define the multiplicative function \[D_{k,\omega}(n) := \frac{d(n)}{k^{\omega(n)}}, \]where $d(n)$ is the divisor function and $\omega (n)$ is the number of distinct prime divisors of $n$. The main purpose of…

The divisor function $\sigma(n)$ denotes the sum of the divisors of the positive integer $n$. For a prime $p$ and $m \in \mathbb{N}$, the $p$-adic valuation of $m$ is the highest power of $p$ which divides $m$. Formulas for…
