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…

In this note, we provide refined estimates of the following sums involving the Euler totient function: $$\sum_{n\le x} \phi\left(\left[\frac{x}{n}\right]\right) \qquad \text{and} \qquad \sum_{n\le x} \frac{\phi([x/n])}{[x/n]}$$ where $[x]$…

A sharper estimate for the summatory Euler phi function $\sum_{n \leq x} \varphi(n)$ is presented in this work. It improves the established estimate in the current mathematical literature. In addition, an estimate for its reciprocal…

In this short, we study sums of the shape $\sum_{n\leqslant x}{f([x/n])}/{[x/n]},$ where $f$ is Euler totient function $\varphi$, Dedekind function $\Psi$, sum-of-divisors function $\sigma$ or the alternating sum-of-divisors function…

Let us denote by $\tau(n)$ and $\si(n)$ the number and the sum of the divisors of $n$ and by $\vfi$ Euler's function. We give effective upper bounds for $\frac{n}{\vfi(n)}$ in terms of $\vfi(n)$, and for $\frac{\si(n)}{n}$ in terms of…

The aim of this note is to provide an upper bound of the number of positive integers $\le x$ which can be written as $\varphi(n)$ for some positive integer $n$, where $\varphi$ stands for the Euler's function. The order of magnitude of this…

We fix a gap in our proof of an upper bound for the number of positive integers $n\le x$ for which the Euler function $\varphi(n)$ has all prime factors at most $y$. While doing this we obtain a stronger, likely best-possible result.

We prove that $$ \sum_{n \leq x} \varphi([x/n])\leq\bigg(\frac{1380}{4009}+\frac{2629}{4009}\cdot\frac1{\zeta(2)}+o(1)\bigg)x\log x $$ as $x\to\infty$, where $\varphi$ denotes the Euler totient function and $[x]$ denotes the integer part of…

Let $ x\geq 1 $ be a large number, let $ [x]=x-\{x\} $ be the largest integer function, and let $ \varphi(n)$ be the Euler totient function. The result $ \sum_{n\leq x}\varphi([x/n])=(6/\pi^2)x\log x+O\left ( x(\log x)^{2/3}(\log\log…

Let $\varphi(n)$ denote the Euler totient function. In this paper, we first establish a new upper bound for $n/\varphi(n)$ involving $K(n)$, the function that counts the number of primorials not exceeding $n$. In particular, this leads to…

Let $\phi(n)$ be the Euler totient function and $\phi_k(n)$ its $k$-fold iterate. In this note, we improve the upper bound for the number of positive $n\leqslant x$ such that $\phi_{k+1}(n)\geqslant cn$. Comparing with the upper bound which…

We study Birkhoff sums over rotations (series of the form $\sum_{r=1}^{N}\phi(r\alpha)$), in which the summed function $\phi$ may be unbounded at the origin. Estimates of these sums have been of significant interest and application in pure…

We prove that if $f(n)$ is a Steinhaus or Rademacher random multiplicative function, there almost surely exist arbitrarily large values of $x$ for which $|\sum_{n \leq x} f(n)| \geq \sqrt{x} (\log\log x)^{1/4+o(1)}$. This is the first such…
