We compute the variances of sums in arithmetic progressions of generalised k-divisor functions related to certain L-functions in $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$, in the limit as $q\to\infty$. This is achieved by making use of recently established…
We investigate a relationship between MacMahon's generalized sum-of-divisors functions and Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. This determines a recurrence relation to compute these functions, as well as proving a conjecture of…
Nguyen has shown that on averaging over $a=1,...,q$ the 3-fold divisor function has exponent of distribution 2/3, following \cite {banks}. We follow [2] which leads to stronger bounds.
Extending a method of D. Wolke, we establish a general result on the large sieve with sparse sets S of moduli which are in a sense well-distributed in arithmetic progressions. We then use this result together with Fourier techniques to…
In this article, we prove an asymptotic formula for the mean value of long smoothed Dirichlet polynomials with divisor coefficients. Our result has a main term that includes all lower order terms and a power saving error term. This is…
We establish asymptotic formulae for various correlations involving general divisor functions $d_k(n)$ and partial divisor functions $d_l(n,A)=\sum_{q|n:q\leq n^A}d_{l-1}(q)$, where $A\in[0,1]$ is a parameter and $k,l\in\mathbb{N}$ are…
We introduce an asymmetric operator of generalised translation, define the generalised modulus of smoothness by its means, and obtain the direct and inverse theorems in approximation theory for it.
In this paper, a $k$-th generalized modulus of smoothness is defined based on an asymmetric operator of generalized translation and a theorem is proved about the coincidence of class of functions defined by this modulus and a class of…
We provide uniform bounds on mean values of multiplicative functions under very general hypotheses, detecting certain power savings missed in known results in the literature. As an application, we study the distribution of the…
We study the average distribution of primes of size $x$ in arithmetic progressions to moduli larger than $x^{\frac{1}{2}}$. Using arithmetic information from the works of many authors together with different variants of the original…
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.
We show that both primes and smooth numbers are equidistributed in arithmetic progressions to moduli up to $x^{5/8 - o(1)}$, using triply-well-factorable weights for the primes (we also get improvements for the well-factorable linear sieve…
We prove that the primes below $x$ are, on average, equidistributed in arithmetic progressions to smooth moduli of size up to $x^{1/2+1/40-\epsilon}$. The exponent of distribution $\tfrac{1}{2} + \tfrac{1}{40}$ improves on a result of…
We translate Uchimura's identity for the divisor function and whose generalizations into combinatorics of partitions, and give a combinatorial proof of them. As a by-product of their proofs, we obtain some combinatorial results.
This short note provides a sharper upper bound of a well known inequality for the sum of divisors function. This is a problem in pure mathematics related to the distribution of prime numbers. Furthermore, the technique is completely…
We estimate the average of any arithmetic function $k$ over the values of any smooth polynomial in many variables provided only that $k$ has a distribution in arithmetic progressions of fixed modulus. We give several applications of this…
