Let $p,p_1,\ldots,p_m$ be positive integers with $p_1\leq p_2\leq\cdots\leq p_m$ and $x\in [-1,1)$, define the so-called Euler type sums ${S_{{p_1}{p_2} \cdots {p_m},p}}\left( x \right)$, which are the infinite sums whose general term is a…

This article provides a proof that the Ramanujan's Inequality given by, $$\pi(x)^2 < \frac{e x}{\log x} \pi\Big(\frac{x}{e}\Big)$$ holds unconditionally for every $x\geq \exp(43.5102147)$. In case for an alternate proof of the result stated…

Given an integer $n \ge 2$, its prime factorization is expressed as $n= \prod_{i=1}^s p_i^{a_i}$. We define the function $f(n)$ as the smallest positive integer such that $f(n)!$ is divisible by $n$. The main objective of this paper is to…

Let $\psi:\mathbb R_+\to\mathbb R_+$ be a non-increasing function. A real number $x$ is said to be $\psi$-Dirichlet improvable if the system $$|qx-p|< \, \psi(t) \ \ {\text{and}} \ \ |q|<t$$ has a non-trivial integer solution for all large…

When restricted to some non-negative multiplicative function, say f, bounded on primes and that vanishes on non square-free integers, our result provides us with an asymptotic for $\sum_{n \le X}f(n)/n$ with error term $O((\log…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We prove that $$\sum_{X \leq x < 2X} \sup_{\alpha \in \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}} \bigg\lvert\!\sum_{x \leq n < x+H} \lambda(n) e(n\alpha)\bigg\rvert = o(HX)$$ as $X\to \infty$, in the regime $H =…

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…

In this paper, given a topological space $X$, an interval $I\subseteq {\bf R}$ and five continuous functions $\varphi, \psi, \omega :X\to {\bf R}$, $\alpha, \beta:I\to {\bf R}$, we are interested in the infimum of the function $\Phi:X\to…

We find asymptotic equalities for exact upper bounds of approximations by Fourier sums in uniform metric on classes of $2\pi$-periodic functions, representable in the form of convolutions of functions $\varphi$, which belong to unit balls…

An important unsolved question in number theory is the Lehmer's totient problem that asks whether there exists any composite number $n$ such that $\varphi(n)\mid n-1$, where $\varphi$ is the Euler's totient function. It is known that if any…

Given a number field $K$ of degree $n_K$ and with absolute discriminant $d_K$, we obtain an explicit bound for the number $N_K(T)$ of non-trivial zeros (counted with multiplicity), with height at most $T$, of the Dedekind zeta function…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we prove that $$\int_X^{2X}\Big|\sum_{x\leq n \leq x+h}\lambda(n) \Big|^2 dx \ll Xh(\log X)^6,$$ as $X\rightarrow \infty$, provided $h=h(X)\leq…

In this paper we establish a new formula for the arithmetic functions that verify $ f(n) = \sum_{d|n} g(d)$ where $g$ is also an arithmetic function. We prove the following identity, $$\forall n \in \mathbb{N}^*, \ \ \ f(n) = \sum_{k=1}^n…

Let $q$ be a large prime number, $a$ be any integer, $\epsilon$ be a fixed small positive quantity. Friedlander and Shparlinksi \cite{FSh} have shown that there exists a positive integer $n\ll q^{5/2+\epsilon}$ such that $\phi(n)$ falls…

Euler--Maclaurin and Poisson analogues of the summations $\sum_{a < n \leq b} \chi(n) f(n)$, $\sum_{a < n \leq b} d(n) f(n)$, $\sum_{a < n \leq b} d(n) \chi (n) f(n)$ have been obtained in a unified manner, where $(\chi (n))$ is a periodic…

We provide new upper bounds for sums of certain arithmetic functions in many variables at polynomial arguments and, exploiting recent progress on the mean-value of the Erd\H os-Hooley $\Delta$-function, we derive lower bounds for the…

By combining and improving recent techniques and results, we provide explicit estimates for the error terms $|\pi(x)-\text{li}(x)|$, $|\theta(x)-x|$ and $|\psi(x)-x|$ appearing in the prime number theorem. For example, we show for all…

We develop a new closed-form arithmetic and recursive formula for the partition function and a generalization of Andrews' smallest parts (spt) function. Using the inclusion-exclusion principle, we additionally develop a formula for the…

We improve on all the results of [13] by incorporating the finite range computations performed since then by several authors. Thus we have \begin{align*} \Bigg|\sum_{n\le X}\mu(n)\Bigg| &\le \frac{0.006688\,X}{\log X},&&\text{for } X\ge…

Menon's identity states that for every positive integer $n$ one has $\sum (a-1,n) = \varphi(n) \tau(n)$, where $a$ runs through a reduced residue system (mod $n$), $(a-1,n)$ stands for the greatest common divisor of $a-1$ and $n$,…
