We prove that $d_k(n)=d_k(n+B)$ infinitely often for any positive integers $k$ and $B$, where $d_k(n)$ denotes the number of divisors of $n$ coprime to $k$.

In this paper we prove the mean values of some multiplicative functions connected with the divisor function on the short interval of summation.

Let $s(n):= \sum_{d\mid n,~d<n} d$ denote the sum of the proper divisors of $n$. It is natural to conjecture that for each integer $k\ge 2$, the equivalence \[ \text{$n$ is $k$th powerfree} \Longleftrightarrow \text{$s(n)$ is $k$th…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the smoothed shifted convolution of the generalised divisor function $d_k(n)$ and the divisor function $d(n)$, with a power-saving error term independent of $k$. In particular, when $k$ is large, this is…

In this paper we study the mean values of some multiplicative functions connected with the divisor function on the short interval of summation. The asymptocic values for such mean values are proved.

Let $3\leqslant k\leqslant9$ be a fixed integer, $p$ be a prime and $d(n)$ denote the Dirichlet divisor function. We use $\Delta(x)$ to denote the error term in the asymptotic formula of the summatory function of $d(n)$. The aim of this…

We study the problem of obtaining asymptotic formulas for the sums $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} d_k(n) d_l(n+h)$ and $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) d_k(n+h)$, where $\Lambda$ is the von Mangoldt function, $d_k$ is the $k^{\operatorname{th}}$…

Let $d_k(n)$ denote the $k$-fold divisor function. For a wide range of large $q$ the expected bound $$\sum_{n\leq x\atop {n\equiv a(q)}}d_k(n)-\text { main term }\approx \sqrt {x/q}$$ is shown to be true in an average sense -- for all $k$.…

Let $\Delta_{k}(x)$ be the error term in the classical asymptotic formula for the sum $\sum_{n\leq x}d_{k}(n)$, where $d_{k}(n)$ is the number of ways $n$ can be written as a product of $k$ factors. We study the analytic properties of the…

Consider the real numbers $$ \ell_{n,k} = \ln\left( \tfrac{3}{2}\,k+\sqrt{\left(\tfrac{3}{2}\,k \right)^2 + 3\,n} \right) $$ and the intervals $\mathcal{L}_{n,k} = \left]\ell_{n,k}-\ln 3,\ell_{n,k}\right]$. For all $n \geq 1$, define $$…

We obtain several asymptotic estimates for the sums of the restricted divisor function $$ \tau_{M,N}(k) = #\{1 \le m \le M, \ 1\le n \le N: mn = k\} $$ over short arithmetic progressions, which improve some results of J. Truelsen. Such…

The sum of proper divisors function $s(n)$ has been studied for more than 2000 years. In this paper we study statistical properties of the related function $S_s(n) := \sum_{d \mid n} s(d)$. This function arises from a generalization of the…

N. Minculete has introduced a concept of divisors of order $r$: integer $d=p_1^{b_1}\cdots p_k^{b_k} $ is called a divisor of order $r$ of $n=p_1^{a_1}\cdots p_k^{a_k}$ if $d \mid n$ and $b_j\in\{r, a_j\}$ for $j=1,\ldots,k$. One can…

We study divisibility properties of certain sums and alternating sums involving binomial coefficients and powers of integers. For example, we prove that for all positive integers $n_1,..., n_m$, $n_{m+1}=n_1$, and any nonnegative integer…

We deduce asymptotic formulas for the sums $\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_r\le x} f(n_1\cdots n_r)$ and $\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_r\le x} f([n_1\cdots n_r])$, where $r\ge 2$ is a fixed integer, $[n_1,\ldots,n_r]$ stands for the least common multiple of the…

We study the triple convolution sum of the generalised divisor functions $$\sum_{n\leq x} d_k(n+h)d_l(n)d_m(n-h),$$ where $h \le x^{1-\epsilon}$ for any $\epsilon>0$ and $d_k(n)$ denotes the generalised divisor function which counts the…

We show that the expected asymptotic for the sums $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) \Lambda(n+h)$, $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} d_k(n) d_l(n+h)$, and $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) d_k(n+h)$ hold for almost all $h \in [-H,H]$, provided that…

In [arXiv:1504.07804], Keating, Rodgers, Roditty-Gershon and Rudnick established relationships of the mean-square of sums of the divisor function $d_k(f)$ over short intervals and over arithmetic progressions for the function field $\mathbb…

We calculate the triple correlations for the truncated divisor sum $\lambda_{R}(n)$. The $\lambda_{R}(n)$'s behave over certain averages just as the prime counting von Mangoldt function $\Lambda(n)$ does or is conjectured to do. We also…

We obtain asymptotics with a power saving error term for $\int_0^1|\sum_{n\le X} d(n)e(n\alpha)|^sd\alpha$ for $s < 2$, where $d(n) = \sum_{d | n} 1$ is the divisor function. We also obtain such asymptotics for $\int_0^1|\sum_{n\le…
