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,…

We examine oscillations in a number of sums of arithmetic functions involving $\Omega(n)$, the total number of prime factors of $n$, and $\omega(n)$, the number of distinct prime factors of $n$. In particular, we examine oscillations in…

Let the summatory function of the M\"{o}bius function be denoted $M(x)$. We deduce in this article conditional results concerning $M(x)$ assuming the Riemann Hypothesis and a conjecture of Gonek and Hejhal on the negative moments of the…

A sharper estimate for the summatory Euler phi function $\sum_{n \leq x} \varphi(n)$ is presented in this work. It improves the established estimate in the current mathematical literature. In addition, an estimate for its reciprocal…

We show that $$ \sum_{n\neq m}\frac{\mu(n)\mu(m)}{nm}E_{X}\left(\{nx\}\{mx\}\right)=-\frac{9}{2\pi^{2}}+O\left(\frac{1}{X}\right), $$ where $x$ is uniformly distributed in $[0,X]$ with $X\in \mathbb{N}$, $E_{X}(.)$ denotes the expected…

We obtain new bounds of exponential sums modulo a prime $p$ with sparse polynomials $a_0x^{n_0} + \cdots + a_{\nu}x^{n_\nu}$. The bounds depend on various greatest common divisors of exponents $n_0, \ldots, n_\nu$ and their differences. In…

We prove that $|\sum_{n \leq x} \mu(n) | \leq x/160\,383$ for all $x\geq 8.4 \times 10^9$ thus improving the record for this type of estimates which was $|\sum_{n \leq x} \mu(n) | \leq x/4345$ for all $x\geq 2\,160\,535$ and was due to…

Let $\tau$ denote the divisor function, and $f$ be any multiplicative function that satisfies some mild hypotheses. We establish the asymptotic formula or non-trivial upper bound for the shifted convolution sum $\sum_{n \leq…

We study the values of the M\"obius function $\mu$ of intervals in the containment poset of permutations. We construct a sequence of permutations $\pi_n$ of size $2n-2$ for which $\mu(1,\pi_n)$ is given by a polynomial in $n$ of degree 7.…

In this paper, we study the sum of additive characters over finite fields, with a focus on those of specified \(\mathbb{F}_q\)-Order. We establish a general formula for these character sums, providing an additive analogue to classical…

Let $\Lambda(n)$ be the von Mangoldt function, $x$ real and $2\leq y \leq x$. This paper improves the estimate on the exponential sum over primes in short intervals \[ S_k(x,y;\alpha) = \sum_{x< n \leq x+y} \Lambda(n) e\left( n^k \alpha…

We show, conditional on a uniform version of the prime k-tuples conjecture, that there are x(log x)^{-1+o(1)} numbers not exceeding x common to the ranges of Euler's function phi(n) and the sum-of-divisors function sigma(m).

We consider a problem posed by Shparlinski, of giving nontrivial bounds for rational exponential sums over the arithmetic function $\tau(n)$, counting the number of divisors of $n$. This is done using some ideas of Sathe concerning the…

In this paper we prove new upper bounds for the sum $\sum_{n=a+1}^{a+N}f(n)$, for a certain class of arithmetic functions $f$. Our results improve the previous results of G. Bachman and L. Rachakonda.

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…

Upper bound estimates for the exponential sum $$ \sum_{K<\kappa_j\le K'<2K} \alpha_j H_j^3(1/2) \cos(\k_j\log({4{\rm e}T\over \kappa_j})) \qquad(T^\epsilon \le K \le T^{1/2-\epsilon}) $$ are considered, where $\alpha_j =…
