Given a complex number $c$, define the divisor function $\sigma_c:\mathbb N\to\mathbb C$ by $\sigma_c(n)=\sum_{d\mid n}d^c$. In this paper, we look at $\overline{\sigma_{-r}(\mathbb N)}$, the topological closures of the image of…

For any complex number $c$, define the divisor function $\sigma_c\colon\mathbb N\to\mathbb C$ by $\displaystyle\sigma_c(n)=\sum_{d\mid n}d^c$. Let $\overline{\sigma_c(\mathbb N)}$ denote the topological closure of the range of $\sigma_c$.…

We investigate the divisibility properties of \sigma(C_n), the sum-of-divisors function applied to Catalan numbers, in relation to other number-theoretic functions. We establish conditions under which C_n has prime factors of the form 6k-1,…

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…

A unitary divisor $c$ of a positive integer $n$ is a positive divisor of $n$ that is relatively prime to $\displaystyle{\frac{n}{c}}$. For any integer $k$, the function $\sigma_k^*$ is a multiplicative arithmetic function defined so that…

We begin by defining functions $\sigma_{t,k}$, which are generalized divisor functions with restricted domains. For each positive integer $k$, we show that, for $r>1$, the range of $\sigma_{-r,k}$ is a subset of the interval…

Let $${\mathbb P}^c=(\lfloor p^c\rfloor)_{p\in{\mathbb P}} \qquad (c>1,\ c\not\in {\mathbb N}), $$ where ${\mathbb P}$ is the set of prime numbers, and $\lfloor\cdot\rfloor$ is the floor function. We show that for every such $c$ there are…

Let $d,n$ be positive integers and $S$ be an arbitrary set of positive integers. We say that $d$ is an $S$-divisor of $n$ if $d|n$ and gcd $(d,n/d)\in S$. Consider the $S$-convolution of arithmetical functions given by (1.1), where the sum…

Let $\{c_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of complex numbers. In this paper we answer when the range of $\sum_{n=1}^\infty\pm c_n$ is dense or equal to the complex plane. Some examples are given to explain our results. As its application, we…

For $r \in \mathbb{R}, r> 1$ and $n \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, the divisor function $\sigma_{-r}$ is defined by $\sigma_{-r}(n) := \sum_{d \vert n} d^{-r}$. In this paper we show the number $C_r$ of connected components of…

The range of the divisor function $\sigma_{-1}$ is dense in the interval $[1,\infty)$. However, the range of the function $\sigma_{-2}$ is not dense in the interval $\displaystyle{\left[1,\frac{\pi^2}{6}\right)}$. We begin by generalizing…

For an $n\times n$ complex matrix $C$, the $C$-numerical range of a bounded linear operator $T$ acting on a Hilbert space of dimension at least $n$ is the set of complex numbers ${\rm tr}(CX^*TX)$, where $X$ is a partial isometry satisfying…

An open (resp., closed) subset A of a topological space (X, T ) is called C-open (resp., C-closed) set if cl(A) \ A (resp., A \ int(A)) is a countable set. This paper aims to present the concept of C-open and C-closed sets. We first…

We call a function $f$ in $C(X)$ to be hard-bounded if $f$ is bounded on every hard subset, a special kind of closed subset, of $X$. We call a subset $T$ of $X$ to be $S$-embedded if every hard-bounded continuous function of $T$ can be…

We define covering and separation numbers for functions. We investigate their properties, and show that for some classes of functions there is exact equality of separation and covering. We provide analogues for various geometric…

Consider the ring $C_c(X)_F$ of real valued functions which are discontinuous on a finite set with countable range. We discuss $(\mathcal{Z}_c)_F$-filters on $X$ and $(\mathcal{Z}_c)_F$-ideals of $C_c(X)_F$. We establish an analogous…

We call a set of positive integers closed under taking unitary divisors a unitary ideal. It can be regarded as a simplicial complex. Moreover, a multiplicative arithmetical function on such a set corresponds to a function on the simplicial…
