Asymptotic formulae are established for the number of natural numbers $m$ with largest square-free divisor not exceeding $m^{\vartheta}$, for any fixed positive parameter $\vartheta$. Related counting functions are also considered.

Let $\Delta(x)$ denote the error term in the classical Dirichlet divisor problem, and let the modified error term in the divisor problem be $\Delta^*(x) = -\Delta(x) + 2\Delta(2x) - \frac{1}{2}\Delta(4x)$. We show that $$…

The number of tuples with positive integers pairwise relatively prime to each other with product at most $n$ is considered. A generalization of $\mu^{2}$ where $\mu$ is the M\"{o}bius function is used to formulate this divisor sum and…

Let $\Delta(x)$ denote the error term in the Dirichlet divisor problem, and $E(T)$ the error term in the asymptotic formula for the mean square of $|\zeta(1/2 + it)|$. If $E^*(t) = E(t) - 2\pi\Delta^*(t/(2\pi))$ with $\Delta^*(x) = -…

We provide upper bounds for the mean square integral $$ \int_X^{2X}(\Delta_k(x+h) - \Delta_k(x))^2 dx \qquad(h = h(X)\gg1, h = o(x) {\roman{as}} X\to\infty) $$ where $h$ lies in a suitable range. For $k\ge2$ a fixed integer, $\Delta_k(x)$…

A weighted automaton is functional if any two accepting runs on the same finite word have the same value. In this paper, we investigate functional weighted automata for four different measures: the sum, the mean, the discounted sum of…

Via the new weight $A_{\vec p}^{\theta }(\varphi )$, the authors introduce a new class of multilinear square operators. The boundedness on the weighted Lebesgue space and the weighted Morrey space is obtained, respectively. Our results…

In this paper we included some basic properties for weighted greatest common divisors, and discuss how to speed up computing the weighted greatest common divisor. By ordering the 'weights' we are able to significantly shorten the operations…

Given an arithmetic function $g(n)$ write $M_g(x) := \sum_{n \leq x} g(n)$. We extend and strengthen the results of a fundamental paper of Hal\'{a}sz in several ways by proving upper bounds for the ratio of $\frac{|M_g(x)|}{M_{|g|}(x)}$,…

We solve an interpolation problem in $A^p_\alpha$ involving specifying a set of (possibly not distinct) $n$ points, where the $k^{\textrm{th}}$ derivative at the $k^{\textrm{th}}$ point is up to a constant as large as possible for functions…

We obtain an upper bound for the sum $\sum_{n\leq N} (a_{n}/\varphi (a_{n}))^{s}$, where $\varphi$ is Euler's totient function, $s\in \mathbb{N}$, and $a_{1},\ldots, a_{N}$ are positive integers (not necessarily distinct) with some…

We extend a lower bound of Munshi on sums over divisors of a number $n$ which are less than a fixed power of $n$ from the squarefree case to the general case. In the process we prove a lower bound on the entropy of a geometric distribution…

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 $k$.…
