Let $f$ be a Steinhaus random multiplicative function, and for $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$, let $d_\alpha$ denote the $\alpha$-divisor function. For $\alpha \in (1,2)$ we establish that $$ \mathbb{E}\bigg\{\Big|\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\sum_{n\leq x}…

We propose a generic algorithm for computing the inverses of a multiplicative function under the assumption that the set of inverses is finite. More generally, our algorithm can compute certain functions of the inverses, such as their power…

We study sums of the shape $\sum_{n \leqslant x} f \left( \lfloor x/n \rfloor \right)$ where $f$ is either the von Mangoldt function or the Dirichlet-Piltz divisor functions. We improve previous estimates when $f = \Lambda$ and $f = \tau$,…

Motivated by Euler-Goldbach and Shallit-Zikan theorems, we introduce zeta-one functions with infinite sums of $n^{s}\pm1$ as an analogy of the Riemann zeta function. Then we compute values of these functions at positive even integers by the…

We show, conditional on a uniform version of the prime k-tuples conjecture, that there are x(log x)^{-1+o(1)} numbers not exceeding x common to the ranges of Euler's function phi(n) and the sum-of-divisors function sigma(m).

We prove that $$ \int_1^X\Delta(x)\Delta_3(x)\,dx \ll X^{13/9}\log^{10/3}X, \quad \int_1^X\Delta(x)\Delta_4(x)\,dx \ll_\varepsilon X^{25/16+\varepsilon}, $$ where $\Delta_k(x)$ is the error term in the asymptotic formula for the summatory…

The Euler phi function on a given integer $n$ yields the number of positive integers less than $n$ that are relatively prime to $n$. Equivalently, it gives the order of the group of units in the quotient ring $\mathbb{Z}/(n)$. We generalize…

For a nonzero integer $a$ let ${E_n^{(a)}}$ be given by $\sum_{k=0}^{[n/2]}\binom n{2k}a^{2k}E_{n-2k}^{(a)}=(1-a)^n$ $(n=0,1,2,...)$, where $[x]$ is the greatest integer not exceeding $x$. As $E_n^{(1)}=E_n$ is the Euler number, $E_n^{(a)}$…

Let $0<r<1/4$, and $f$ be a non-vanishing continuous function in $|z|\leq r$, that is analytic in the interior. Voronin's universality theorem asserts that translates of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(3/4 + z + it)$ can approximate $f$…

Given a sequence $\mathscr{A}=\{a_0<a_1<a_2\ldots\}\subseteq \mathbb{N}$, let $r_{\mathscr{A},h}(n)$ denote the number of ways $n$ can be written as the sum of $h$ elements of $\mathscr{A}$. Fixing $h\geq 2$, we show that if $f$ is a…

We present an algorithm to invert the Euler function $\phi(m)$. The algorithm, for a given $n \geq 1$, in polynomial time ``on average'', finds the set $\Psi(n)$ of all solutions $m$ to $\phi(m) = n$. In fact, in the worst case, $\Psi(n)$…

The Dirichlet lambda function $\lambda(s)$ is defined for $\mathrm{Re}(s) > 1$ by \[ \lambda(s) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(2n+1)^s}. \] This function was initially studied by Euler on the real line, where he denoted it by $N(s)$. In…
