Let $f(n)$ be an arithmetic function with $f(1)\neq0$ and let $f^{-1}(n)$ be its reciprocal with respect to the Dirichlet convolution. We study the asymptotic behaviour of $|f^{-1}(n)|$ with regard to the asymptotic behaviour of $|f(n)|$…

We study the triple convolution sum of the divisor function given by $$\sum_{n\leq x} d(n)d(n-h)d(n+h)$$ for $h\neq 0$ and $d(n)$ denotes the number of positive divisors of $n$. Based on algebraic and geometric considerations, Browning…

A class of increasing sequences of natural numbers $(n_k)$ is found for which there exists a function $f\in L[0,1)$ such that the subsequence of partial Walsh-Fourier sums $(S_{n_k}(f))$ diverge everywhere. A condition for the growth order…

We establish asymptotic normality of weighted sums of periodograms of a stationary linear process where weights depend on the sample size. Such sums appear in numerous statistical applications and can be regarded as a discretized versions…

In this paper, we study the number of additional zeros of Dirichlet $L$-function caused by multiplicity by using Asymptotic Large Sieve. Then in asymptotic terms we prove that there are more than 80.124% of zeros of the family of Dirichlet…

We derive a combinatorial multisum expression for the number $D(n,k)$ of partitions of $n$ with Durfee square of order $k$. An immediate corollary is therefore a combinatorial formula for $p(n)$, the number of partitions of $n$. We then…

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 study large deviation asymptotics for processes defined in terms of continued fraction digits. We use the continued fraction digit sum process to define a stopping time and derive a joint large deviation asymptotic for the upper and…

In this paper, we investigate the combinatorial structure and asymptotic distribution of the solution set of the equation $\sigma(n+1) = k\sigma(n)$ for a given integer $k>1$. From a combinatorial perspective, the solutions to this equation…

Let $\{a_{1}, a_{2},\ldots, a_{n},\ldots\}$ be a sequence of complex numbers which has at most polynomial growth and satisfies an extra assumption. In this paper, inspired by a recent work of Sasane, we give an explanation of the sum…

We prove new exact formulas for the generalized sum-of-divisors functions, $\sigma_{\alpha}(x) := \sum_{d|x} d^{\alpha}$. The formulas for $\sigma_{\alpha}(x)$ when $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$ is fixed and $x \geq 1$ involves a finite sum over…

Given a periodic function $f$, we study the convergence almost everywhere and in norm of the series $\sum_{k} c_k f(kx)$. Let $f(x)= \sum_{m=1}^\infty a_m \sin {2\pi m x}$ where $\sum_{m=1}^\infty a_{m }^2d(m) <\infty$ and $d(m)=\sum_{d|m}…

The class of Lambert series generating functions (LGFs) denoted by $L_{\alpha}(q)$ formally enumerate the generalized sum-of-divisors functions, $\sigma_{\alpha}(n) = \sum_{d|n} d^{\alpha}$, for all integers $n \geq 1$ and fixed real-valued…

Dirichlet's $L$-functions are natural extensions of the Riemann zeta function. In this paper we first give a brief survey of Ap\'ery-like series for some special values of the zeta function and certain $L$-functions. Then, we establish two…

We give asymptotics for correlation sums linked with the distribution of squarefree numbers in arithmetic progressions over a fixed modulus. As a particular case we improve a result of Blomer concerning the variance.

Let $d(n)$ be the number of divisors of $n$, let $\gamma$ denote Euler's constant and $$ \Delta(x) := \sum_{n\le x}d(n) - x(\log x + 2\gamma -1) $$ denote the error term in the classical Dirichlet divisor problem, and let $\zeta(s)$ denote…

We prove an averaged version of a claim suspected to be true by Alladi, Erd\"os, and Vaaler. Qualitatively, the result states that a divisor sum of a multiplicative function, which obeys certain size constraints, derives most of its value…

The Poisson distribution of order $k$ is a special case of a compound Poisson distribution. Its mean and variance are known, but results for its median and mode are difficult to obtain, although a few cases have been solved and upper/lower…
