In this paper, we completely determine the slopes and weights of the L-functions of an important class of exponential sums arising from analytic number theory. Our main tools include Adolphson-Sperber's work on toric exponential sums and…
We study the signs of the Fourier coefficients of a newform. Let $f$ be a normalized newform of weight $k$ for $\Gamma_0(N)$. Let $a_f(n)$ be the $n$th Fourier coefficient of $f$. For any fixed positive integer $m$, we study the…
We generalize recent matrix-based factorization theorems for Lambert series generating functions generating the coefficients $(f \ast 1)(n)$ for some arithmetic function $f$. Our new factorization theorems provide analogs to these…
We show that for some $k\le 3570$ and all $k$ with $442720643463713815200|k$, the equation $\phi(n)=\phi(n+k)$ has infinitely many solutions $n$, where $\phi$ is Euler's totient function. We also show that for a positive proportion of all…
Let $\gamma$ denote imaginary parts of complex zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$. Certain sums over the $\gamma$'s are evaluated, by using the function $G(s) = \sum_{\gamma>0}\gamma^{-s}$ and other techniques. Some integrals…
The manuscript reviews Dirichlet Series of important multiplicative arithmetic functions. The aim is to represent these as products and ratios of Riemann zeta-functions, or, if that concise format is not found, to provide the leading…
To date, the best methods for estimating the growth of mean values of arithmetic functions rely on the Vorono\"{\i} summation formula. By noticing a general pattern in the proof of his summation formula, Vorono\"{\i} postulated that…
We deduce asymptotic formulas for the sums $\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_r\le x} f(n_1\cdots n_r)$ and $\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_r\le x} f([n_1\cdots n_r])$, where $r\ge 2$ is a fixed integer, $[n_1,\ldots,n_r]$ stands for the least common multiple of the…
In this sequence of work we investigate polynomial equations of additive functions. We consider the solutions of equation \[ \sum_{i=1}^{n}f_{i}(x^{p_{i}})g_{i}(x)^{q_{i}}= 0 \qquad \left(x\in \mathbb{F}\right), \] where $n$ is a positive…
Orders and types of entire and meromorphic functions have been actively investigated by many authors. In the present paper, we aim at investigating some basic properties in connection with sum and product of relative $(p,q)$-$\varphi$…
In modern usage the Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials follow Euler's approach and are defined using generating functions. We consider the functional equation $f(x)+x^k=f(x+1)$ and show that a solution can be derived from…
Theta sums are finite exponential sums with a quadratic form in the oscillatory phase. This paper establishes new upper bounds for theta sums in the case of smooth and box truncations. This generalises a classic 1977 result of Fiedler,…
N. Minculete has introduced a concept of divisors of order $r$: integer $d=p_1^{b_1}\cdots p_k^{b_k} $ is called a divisor of order $r$ of $n=p_1^{a_1}\cdots p_k^{a_k}$ if $d \mid n$ and $b_j\in\{r, a_j\}$ for $j=1,\ldots,k$. One can…
In this paper, we study sums of shifted products $\sum\limits_{n \leq x} F(n) G(n-h)$ for any $|h| \leq x/2$ and arithmetic functions $F=f*1$ and $G=g*1$, with $f$ and $g$ small. We obtain asymptotic formula for different orders of…
Let $\mu(n)$ be the M\"{o}bius function and $e(\alpha)=e^{2\pi i\alpha}$. In this paper, we study upper bounds of the classical sum $$S(x,\alpha):=\sum_{1\leq n\leq x}\mu(n)e(\alpha n).$$ We can improve some classical results of Baker and…
In [arXiv:1504.07804], Keating, Rodgers, Roditty-Gershon and Rudnick established relationships of the mean-square of sums of the divisor function $d_k(f)$ over short intervals and over arithmetic progressions for the function field $\mathbb…
We prove that the divisor function $d(n)$ counting the number of divisors of the integer $n$, is a good weighting function for the pointwise ergodic theorem. For any measurable dynamical system $(X, {\mathcal A},\nu,\tau)$ and any $f\in…
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 connect Dedekind sums and some formulas for numerical semigroups.
Let $I(n) = \frac{\psi(\phi(n))}{\phi(\psi(n))}$ and $K(n) = \frac{\psi(\phi(n))}{\phi(\phi(n))}$, where $\phi(n)$ is Euler's function and $\psi(n)$ is Dedekind's arithmetic function. We obtain the maximal order of $I(n)$, as well as the…
