A multiplicative function $f$ is said to be resembling the M\"{o}bius function if $f$ is supported on the square-free integers, and $f(p)=\pm 1$ for each prime $p$. We prove $O$- and $\Omega$-results for the summatory function $\sum_{n\leq…

For $n \geq 3$, an asymptotic formula is derived for the number of representations of a sufficiently large natural number $N$ in the form $p_1+p_2+m^n=N$, where $p_1$, $p_2$ $-$ prime numbers, $m$ $-$ natural number satisfying the…

We exploit the properties of a sequence of functions that approximate the divisor functions and combine them with an analytical formula of a delta-like sequence to give a new proof of a theorem of Gronwall on the asymptotic of the divisor…

Let $g_0,\dots,g_k: {\bf N} \to {\bf D}$ be $1$-bounded multiplicative functions, and let $h_0,\dots,h_k \in {\bf Z}$ be shifts. We consider correlation sequences $f: {\bf N} \to {\bf Z}$ of the form $$ f(a):= \widetilde{\lim}_{m \to…

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.…

We introduce a new arithmetic function $a(n)$ defined to be the number of random multiplications by residues modulo $n$ before the running product is congruent to 0 modulo $n$. We give several formulas for computing the values of this…

Given a multiplicative function $f$, we let $S(x,f)=\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)$ be the associated partial sum. In this note, we show that lower bounds on partial sums of divisor-bounded functions result in lower bounds on the partial sums…

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 study the polynomial approximation of symmetric multivariate functions and of multi-set functions. Specifically, we consider $f(x_1, \dots, x_N)$, where $x_i \in \mathbb{R}^d$, and $f$ is invariant under permutations of its $N$…

We establish asymptotic formulas for sums of reciprocals of primes in arithmetic progressions, generalizing recent results on multiple Mertens evaluations by Tenenbaum, Qi, and Hu. Specifically, for any fixed constant $K>0$, we derive…

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.

When restricted to some non-negative multiplicative function, say f, bounded on primes and that vanishes on non square-free integers, our result provides us with an asymptotic for $\sum_{n \le X}f(n)/n$ with error term $O((\log…

Let f(m,n) denote the number of relatively prime subsets of {m+1,m+2,...,n}, and let Phi(m,n) denote the number of subsets A of {m+1,m+2,...,n} such that gcd(A) is relatively prime to n. Let f_k(m,n) and Phi_k(m,n) be the analogous counting…
