Let $\sigma(n)$ be the sum of the positive divisors of $n$, and let $A(t)$ be the natural density of the set of positive integers $n$ satisfying $\sigma(n)/n \ge t$. We give an improved asymptotic result for $\log A(t)$ as $t$ grows…
Recently, Bordell\'{e}s, Dai, Heyman, Pan and Shparlinski in \cite{Igor} considered a partial sum involving the Euler totient function and the integer parts $\lfloor x/n\rfloor$ function. Among other things, they obtained reasonably tight…
Of what use are the zeros of the Riemann zeta function? We can use sums involving zeta zeros to count the primes up to $x$. Perron's formula leads to sums over zeta zeros that can count the squarefree integers up to $x$, or tally Euler's…
In this paper we study the variance of the Euler totient function (normalized to $\varphi(n)/n$) in the integers $\mathbb{Z}$ and in the polynomial ring $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. It turns out that in…
Let $r\ge k\ge 2$ be fixed positive integers. Let $\varrho_{r,k}$ denote the characteristic function of the set of $r$-tuples of positive integers with $k$-wise relatively prime components, that is any $k$ of them are relatively prime. We…
We generalize Romanoff's theorem. Also, we obtain a result on sums related to Euler's totient function.
Recently, Merca and Schmidt found some decompositions for the partition function $p(n)$ in terms of the classical M\"{o}bius function as well as Euler's totient. In this paper, we define a counting function $T_k^r(m)$ on the set of…
The primorial $p\#$ of a prime $p$ is the product of all primes $q\le p$. Let pr$(n)$ denote the largest prime $p$ with $p\# \mid \phi(n)$, where $\phi$ is Euler's totient function. We show that the normal order of pr$(n)$ is $\log\log…
The discrete Fourier transform of the greatest common divisor is a multiplicative function, if taken with respect to the same order of the primitive root of unity, which is a well known fact. As such, the transform can be expressed in the…
This note highlights an interesting connection between Euler sums of even weight and prime numbers.
We deal with various Diophantine equations involving the Euler totient function and various sequences of numbers, including factorials, powers, and Fibonacci sequences.
We consider the distribution in residue classes modulo primes $p$ of Euler's totient function $\phi(n)$ and the sum-of-proper-divisors function $s(n):=\sigma(n)-n$. We prove that the values $\phi(n)$, for $n\le x$, that are coprime to $p$…
A work by Nicolas has shown that if it can be proven that a certain inequality holds for all $n$, the Riemann hypothesis is true. This inequality is associated with the Mertens theorem, and hence the Euler totient at $\prod_{k=1}^n p_k$,…
We prove an upper bound for the exponential sum associated to a localized $k-$divisor function, i.e., the counting function of the number of ways to write a positive integer $n$ as a product of $k\ge 2$ positive integers, each of them…
Recently, there has been some interest in values of arithmetical functions on members of special sequences, such as Euler's totient function $\phi$ on factorials, linear recurrences, etc. In this article, we investigate, for given positive…
The purpose of this paper is to give the explicit formulae of p-adic l-functions and sums of powers which are related to Euler numbers.

For a positive integer $n$, let $p(n)$ be the number of ways to express $n$ as a sum of positive integers. In this note, we revisit the derivation of the Rademacher's convergent series for $p(n)$ in a pedagogical way, with all the details…
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 $\Sopfr(n)$ function is defined as the sum of prime factors of $n$ each of which is taken with its multiplicity. This function is studied numerically. The analogy between $\Sopfr(n)$ and the primes distribution function is drawn and…
