As early as the 1930s, P\'al Erd\H{o}s conjectured that: {\em for any multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\{-1,1\}$, the partial sums $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)$ are unbounded.} Considering this conjecture, in this paper we consider…
Let $G(g;x):=\sum_{n\leq x}g(n)$ be the summatory function of an arithmetical function $g(n)$. In this paper, we prove that we can write weighted averages of an arbitrary fixed number $N$ of arithmetical functions $g_{j}(n),\,j\in\left\{…
This work gives a general approach to the determination of the asymptotic behavior of the sums of functions of primes based on the distribution of primes. It refines the estimate of the remainder term of the asymptotic expansion of the sums…
We study the arithmetic (real) function f=g*1, with g "essentially bounded" and supported over the integers of [1,Q]. In particular, we obtain non-trivial bounds, through f "correlations", for the "Selberg integral" and the "symmetry…
We consider the asymptotics of sums of the form $$ \frac1{F_n^\sigma} \sum_{m = 1}^{F_n-1} \frac{f(m/F_n)}{\left|{\sin(\pi m/F_n)}\right|^\sigma} \frac{f(F_{n-1}m/F_n)}{\left|{\sin(\pi F_{n-1}m/F_n)}\right|^\sigma} $$ where $(F_n)_{n \in…
We investigate the problem of the distribution of sums of functions of prime numbers located on an arithmetic progression. This problem is closely related to the problem of the distribution of prime numbers on an arithmetic progression.…
An algorithm is proposed for the determination of the asymptotics of a sum of a perturbation series from the given values of its coefficients in the strong-coupling limit. When applied to the \Phi^4 theory, the algorithm yields the…
We produce nontrivial asymptotic estimates for shifted sums of the form $\sum a(h)b(m)c(2m-h)$, in which $a(n),b(n),c(n)$ are un-normalized Fourier coefficients of holomorphic cusp forms. These results are unconditional, but we demonstrate…
We determine the asymptotic distribution of the sum of correlated variables described by a matrix product ansatz with finite matrices, considering variables with finite variances. In cases when the correlation length is finite, the law of…
We obtain asymptotics for sums of the form $$ \sum_{n=1}^P e(\alpha_kn^k + \alpha_1n), $$ involving lower order main terms. As an application, we show that for almost all $\alpha_2 \in [0,1)$ one has $$ \sup_{\alpha_1 \in [0,1)} \Big|…
The double logarithmic terms $\alpha_{s} \ln^{2}x $ are important to predict precisely the small $x$ behavior of the spin structure function $g_{1}$. We numerically analyze the evolution of the flavor non-singlet $g_{1}$ including the…
In this paper we strongly improve asymptotics for $s_1(n)$ (respectively $s_2(n)$) which sums reciprocals (respectively squares of reciprocals) of parts throughout all the partitions of $n$ into distinct parts. The methods required are much…
A classical problem in number theory is showing that the mean value of an arithmetic function is asymptotic to its mean value over a short interval or over an arithmetic progression, with the interval as short as possible or the modulus as…
Let A be a finite subset of an abelian group (G, +). Let h $\ge$ 2 be an integer. If |A| $\ge$ 2 and the cardinality |hA| of the h-fold iterated sumset hA = A + $\times$ $\times$ $\times$ + A is known, what can one say about |(h -- 1)A| and…
In this paper we prove new bounds for sums of convex or concave functions. Specifically, we prove that for all $A,B \subseteq \mathbb R$ finite sets, and for all $f,g$ convex or concave functions, we have $$|A + B|^{38}|f(A) + g(B)|^{38}…
This article provides new asymptotic results for the summatory Mobius function $\sum_{p \leq x} \mu(p+a) =O \left (x(\log x)^{-c} \right )$ and the summatory Liouville function $\sum_{p \leq x} \lambda(p+a) =O \left (x(\log x)^{-c} \right…
We extend the Matom\"{a}ki-Radziwi\l\l{} theorem to a large collection of unbounded multiplicative functions that are uniformly bounded, but not necessarily bounded by 1, on the primes. Our result allows us to estimate averages of such a…
We prove upper and lower bounds for certain sums of products of fractional parts by using majoring and minorizing functions from Fourier analysis. In special cases the upper bounds are sharp if there exist counterexamples to the Littlewood…
A variation on the sum-product problem seeks to show that a set which is defined by additive and multiplicative operations will always be large. In this paper, we prove new results of this type. In particular, we show that for any finite…
Denote by $N(n)$ the number of integer solutions $(x_1,\,x_2,\ldots ,x_n)$ of the equation $x_1+x_2+\ldots+x_n=x_1x_2\cdot\ldots\cdot x_n$ such that $x_1\ge x_2\ge\ldots\ge x_n\ge 1$, $n \in \mathbb{Z}^+$. The aim of this paper are is…
