Consider the linear congruence equation $${a_1^{s}x_1+\ldots+a_k^{s} x_k \equiv b\,(\text{mod } n^s)}\text { where } a_i,b\in\mathbb{Z},s\in\mathbb{N}$$ Denote by $(a,b)_s$ the largest $l^s\in\mathbb{N}$ which divides $a$ and $b$…

Let $b,n\in \mathbb{Z}$, $n\geq 1$, and ${\cal D}_1, \ldots, {\cal D}_{\tau(n)}$ be all positive divisors of $n$. For $1\leq l \leq \tau(n)$, define ${\cal C}_l:=\lbrace 1 \leqslant x\leqslant n \; : \; (x,n)={\cal D}_l\rbrace$. In this…

We address three questions posed by Bibak \cite{KB20}, and generalize some results of Bibak, Lehmer and K G Ramanathan on solutions of linear congruences $\sum_{i=1}^k a_i x_i \equiv b \Mod{n}$. In particular, we obtain explicit expressions…

Given a polynomial $Q(x_1,\cdots, x_t)=\lambda_1 x_1^{k_1}+\cdots +\lambda_t x_t^{k_t}$, for every $c\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $n\geq 2$, we study the number of solutions $N_J(Q;c,n)$ of the congruence equation $Q(x_1,\cdots, x_t)\equiv…

The Ramanujan sum $c_n(k)$ is defined as the sum of $k$-th powers of the primitive $n$-th roots of unity. We investigate arithmetic functions of $r$ variables defined as certain sums of the products $c_{m_1}(g_1(k))...c_{m_r}(g_r(k))$,…

For integers $b$ and $c$ the generalized central trinomial coefficient $T_n(b,c)$ denotes the coefficient of $x^n$ in the expansion of $(x^2+bx+c)^n$. Those $T_n=T_n(1,1)\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$ are the usual central trinomial coefficients, and…

Let $c_q(n)$ denote the Ramanujan sum modulo $q$, and let $x$ and $y$ be large reals, with $x = o(y)$. We obtain asymptotic formulas for the sums $$\sum_{n \le y}(\sum_{q \le x} c_q(n))^k \qquad (k = 1, 2).$$

A cubic partition consists of partition pairs $(\lambda,\mu)$ such that $\vert\lambda\vert+\vert\mu\vert=n$ where $\mu$ involves only even integers but no restriction is placed on $\lambda$. This paper initiates the notion of generalized…

The near orthgonality of certain $k$-vectors involving the Ramanujan sums were studied by E. Alkan in [J. Number Theory, 140:147--168 (2014)]. Here we undertake the study of similar vectors involving a generalization of the Ramanujan sums…

An integer $a$ is said to be regular (mod $r$) if there exists an integer $x$ such that $a^2x\equiv a\pmod{r}$. In this paper we introduce an analogue of Ramanujan's sum with respect to regular integers (mod $r$) and show that this analogue…

For a fixed positive integer $k$, let $C(k,n)$ denote the number of two-color partitions of $n$ with odd smallest part and restrictions on even parts, and let $C_k(q)$ be its generating function. We show that $C(1,n)\equiv d(2n-1)\pmod{4}$…
