We introduce a general class $F_0$ of additive functions $f$ such that $f(p) = 1$ and prove a tight bound for exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le x} f(n) e(\alpha n)$ where $f \in F_0$ and $e(\theta) = \exp(2\pi i \theta)$. Both…

We obtain asymptotics with a power saving error term for $\int_0^1|\sum_{n\le X} d(n)e(n\alpha)|^sd\alpha$ for $s < 2$, where $d(n) = \sum_{d | n} 1$ is the divisor function. We also obtain such asymptotics for $\int_0^1|\sum_{n\le…

We obtain asymptotic formulas for the sums $\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_k\le x} f((n_1,\ldots,n_k))$ and $ \sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_k\le x} f([n_1,\ldots,n_k])$ involving the gcd and lcm of the integers $n_1,\ldots,n_k$, where $f$ belongs to certain…

We examine the sum of modified Bessel functions with argument depending non-linearly on the summation index given by \[S_{\nu,p}(a)=\sum_{n\geq 1} (an^p/2)^{-\nu} K_\nu(an^p)\qquad (a>0,\ 0\leq\nu<1)\] as the parameter $a\to 0+$, where $p$…

We examine exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le X} w(n) e^{2\pi i\alpha n^k}$, for $k=1,2$, where $\alpha$ satisfies a generalized Diophantine approximation and where $w$ are different arithmetic functions that might be multiplicative,…

For "almost all" sufficiently large $N,$ satisfying necessary congruence conditions and $k\geq 2$, we show that there is an {\bf asymptotic formula} for the number of solutions of the equation \begin{align*} \begin{split}…

Asymptotic expansions of series $\sum_{k=0}^\infty \epsilon^k(k+a)^\gamma e^{-(k+a)^\alpha x}$ and $\sum_{k=0}^\infty \epsilon^k(k+a)^\gamma / (x(k+a)^\alpha+1)^\mu}$ in powers of $x$ as $x\to+0$ are found, where $\epsilon=1$ or…

In this paper we obtain a series of asymptotic formulae in the sum--product phenomena over the prime field $\mathbf{F}_p$. In the proofs we use usual incidence theorems in $\mathbf{F}_p$, as well as the growth result in ${\rm SL}_2…

We use elementary arguments to prove results on the order of magnitude of certain sums concerning the gcd's and lcm's of $k$ positive integers, where $k\ge 2$ is fixed. We refine and generalize an asymptotic formula of Bordell\`{e}s (2007),…

This paper is concerned with the diophantine system, $\sum_{i=1}^{s_1} x_i^r=\sum_{i=1}^{s_2} y_i^r,\, r=1,\,2,\,\ldots,\,k, $ where $s_1$ and $s_2$ are integers such that the total number of terms on both sides, that is, $s_1+s_2,$ is as…

For all $\alpha_1,\alpha_2\in(1,2)$ with $1/\alpha_1+1/\alpha_2>5/3$, we show that the number of pairs $(n_1,n_2)$ of positive integers with $N=\lfloor{n_1^{\alpha_1}}\rfloor+\lfloor{n_2^{\alpha_2}}\rfloor$ is equal to…

We apply the Euler--Maclaurin formula to find the asymptotic expansion of the sums $\sum_{k=1}^n (\log k)^p / k^q$, ~$\sum k^q (\log k)^p$, ~$\sum (\log k)^p /(n-k)^q$, ~$\sum 1/k^q (\log k)^p $ in closed form to arbitrary order ($p,q…

Let $K$ be a number field, $k\geq 2$ an integer, $(K^*)^k$ the $k$-fold direct product of $K^*$ with coordinatewise multiplication, and $\Gamma$ a finitely generated subgroup of rank $r$ of $(K^*)^k$. Further, let $H(\alpha )$ denote the…

We give an asymptotic formula for correlations \[ \sum_{n\le x}f_1(P_1(n))f_2(P_2(n))\cdot \dots \cdot f_m(P_m(n))\] where $f\dots,f_m$ are bounded "pretentious" multiplicative functions, under certain natural hypotheses. We then deduce…

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…

The Diophantine sums $\sum_{n=1}^N \| n \alpha \|^{-1}$ and $\sum_{n=1}^N n^{-1} \| n \alpha \|^{-1}$ appear in many different areas including the ergodic theory of circle rotations, lattice point counting and random walks, often in…

When k > 1 and s is sufficiently large in terms of k, we derive an explicit multi-term asymptotic expansion for the number of representations of a large natural number as the sum of s positive integral k-th powers.

In this paper we strongly improve asymptotics for $s_1(n)$ (respectively $s_2(n)$) which sums reciprocals (respectively squares of reciprocals) of parts throughout all the partitions of $n$ into distinct parts. The methods required are much…

Uniform asymptotic expansions are derived for the zeros of the reverse generalized Bessel polynomials of large degree $n$ and real parameter $a$. It is assumed that $-\Delta_{1} n+\frac{3}{2} \leq a \leq \Delta_{2} n$ for fixed arbitrary…

We obtain asymptotic for the quantity $\int_0^1 \bigg|\sum_{n\le X}\tau_k(n)e(n\alpha)\bigg|d\alpha$ where $\tau_k(n) = \sum_{d_1\dots d_k = n} 1$. This follows from a quick application of the circle method. Along the way, we find minor arc…
