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, $\Psi(n)$…
These notes are devoted to the theory of exponential sums over finite fields. The first chapter recalls some of the number-theoretic interest of such sums. The second chapter discusses the $L$-functions attached to such sums, the "Weil…
Let $D\in\mathbb{N}$, let $A>D+1$, and let $Q\geqslant3$. Consider the class of multiplicative functions $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$ such that $|\sum_{n\leqslant x}f(n)|\le x(\log Q)^{A-D-1}/(\log x)^A$ for all $x\geqslant Q$, and such that…
In this paper, we can show that \begin{align*} S_{\Lambda}(x)=\sum_{1\leq n\leq x}\Lambda \left(\left[\frac{x}{n}\right]\right)= \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\Lambda(n)}{n(n+1)}x +O\left(x^{7/15+1/195+\varepsilon}\right), \end{align*} where…
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…
Sign changes in sums of arithmetic functions and their inverses are a subtle topic with room to grow new results. Suppose that $S_f(x) := \sum_{n \leq x} f(n)$ is the summatory function of some arithmetic function $f$ such that $f(1) \neq…
We give a relatively simple proof that \[ \int _0^1\left |\sum _{n\leq x}d(n)e(n\alpha )\right |d\alpha \asymp \sqrt x.\]
The sums of three trigonometric series with logarithmic coefficients are derived by extending an approach first utilized by Lerch. By applying Frullani's theorem to two of these series, two non-trivial integrals involving hyperbolic…
For functions from the set of generalized Poisson integrals $C^{\alpha,r}_{\beta}L_{p}$, $1\leq p <\infty$, we obtain upper estimates for the deviations of Fourier sums in the uniform metric in terms of the best approximations of the…
We fix a gap in our proof of an upper bound for the number of positive integers $n\le x$ for which the Euler function $\varphi(n)$ has all prime factors at most $y$. While doing this we obtain a stronger, likely best-possible result.
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…
We study the distribution of solutions of equations $\sigma(n)=\sigma(n+k)$ and $\varphi(n)=\varphi(n+k)$. We give new upper bounds for these solutions.
Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $f(x)=\sum_{i=1}^ka_ix^{p^{\alpha_i}+1}\in\Bbb F_{p^n}[x]$, where $0\le \alpha_1<...<\alpha_k$. We consider the exponential sum $S(f,n)=\sum_{x\in\Bbb F_{p^n}}e_n(f(x))$, where $e_n(y)=e^{2\pi…
We define an S function as the sum of the asymptotic error terms of digamma function of an arithmetic series, $S(a) \equiv \sum_{n=1}^\infty \left[\ln\frac{n}{a} - \frac{a}{2n}-\psi\left(\frac{n}{a}\right)\right]$, and show a few properties…
We use Poisson summation formula to calculate integrals of producs of sinc functions (cf. [4]) and related integrals as in [5] and [3]. We also generalize the one in [5] and introduce other remarkable integrals. Finally we give a sum…
Harmonic sums and their generalizations are extremely useful in the evaluation of higher-order perturbative corrections in quantum field theory. Of particular interest have been the so-called nested sums,where the harmonic sums and their…
In this article, we consider the weighted partition function $p_f(n)$ given by the generating series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} p_f(n)z^n = \prod_{n\in\mathbb{N}^{*}}(1-z^n)^{-f(n)}$, where we restrict the class of weight functions to strongly…
We present a function that tests for primality, factorizes composites and builds a closed form expression of $\pi(n^2)$ in terms of $\sum_{3 \leq p \leq n} \frac{1}{p}$ and a weaker version of $\omega(n)$.
An overview of results and problems concerning the asymptotic behaviour for summatory functions of a certain class of additive functions is given. The class of functions in question involves Karamata's regular variation. Some new Abelian…
