A modified Dirichlet character $f$ is a completely multiplicative function such that for some Dirichlet character $\chi$, $f(p)=\chi(p)$ for all but a finite number of primes $p\in S$, and for those exceptional primes $p\in S$, $|f(p)|\leq…

We consider a certain class of multiplicative functions $f: \mathbb N \rightarrow \mathbb C$. Let $F(s)= \sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n)n^{-s}$ be the associated Dirichlet series and $F_N(s)= \sum_{n\le N} f(n)n^{-s}$ be the truncated Dirichlet…

Let $\mu(n)$ denote the M\"obius function, define $M(x)= \sum_{n\leq x}^{}\mu (n)$. The main result of this paper is to prove that \begin{equation*} \displaystyle\lim_{x \to +\infty}\frac{M(x)}{x}=0 \end{equation*} which is equivalent to…

We study the triple convolution sum of the generalised divisor functions $$\sum_{n\leq x} d_k(n+h)d_l(n)d_m(n-h),$$ where $h \le x^{1-\epsilon}$ for any $\epsilon>0$ and $d_k(n)$ denotes the generalised divisor function which counts the…

In this article, we study the summatory function \begin{equation*} W(x)=\sum_{n\leq x}(-2)^{\Omega(n)}, \end{equation*} where $\Omega(n)$ counts the number of prime factors of $n$, with multiplicity. We prove $W(x)=O(x)$, and in particular,…
