The Carmichael lambda function $\lambda(n)$ is defined to be the smallest positive integer $m$ such that $a^m \equiv 1 \pmod{n}$ for all $(a,n)=1.$ $\lambda_k(n)$ is defined to be the $k$th iterate of $\lambda(n).$ Let L(n) be the smallest…

Let $\gcd(k,j)$ be the greatest common divisor of the integers $k$ and $j$. For any arithmetical function $f$, we establish several asymptotic formulas for weighted averages of gcd-sum functions with weight concerning logarithms, that is…

The sum $\lambda_1 + \lambda_n$ of the maximum and minimum eigenvalues, and the odd girth of a graph both measure bipartiteness. We seek to relate these measures. In particular, for an odd integer $k\geq 3$, let $\gamma_k$ denote the…

Let $r$ be a positive integer, and let $A$ be a nonempty finite set of at least two integers. We let $\tilde{C}_r(A)$ denote the {\em asymptotic $r$-covering number} of $A$, that is, the smallest integer value of $l$ for which, for all…

We provide an asymptotic expansion for the mean-value of the logarithm of the middle prime factor of an integer, defined according to multiplicity or not, thus generalising a recent study of McNew, Pollack, and Singha Roy. This yields an…

Landau's theorem asserts that the asymptotic density of sums of two squares in the interval $1\leq n\leq x$ is $K/{\sqrt{\log x}}$, where $K$ is the Landau-Ramanujan constant. It is an old problem in number theory whether the asymptotic…

We will use a discrete analogue of the classical \emph{Laplace} method to show that for infinitely many positive integers $n$, the main term of the asymptotic expansions of scaled confluent basic hypergeometric functions, including the…

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 $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be the ring of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$, the finite field of $q$ elements, and let $p$ be the characteristic of $\mathbb{F}_q$. We denote $\widetilde{G}_q(k)$ to be the least integer $t_0$ with the property that…

Let $x$ be a real number satisfying $x \geq 2$. For any positive integer $n$, we define $s(n)$ as the smallest non-negative integer such that $n + s(n)$ is a perfect square. In this paper, we derive an asymptotic formula for the sum…

We study the asymptotic expansion for the Landau constants $G_n$, \begin{equation*} \pi G_{n}\sim \ln(16N)+\gamma+\sum^{\infty}_{k=1}\frac{\alpha_k}{N^k} ~~\mbox{as} ~ n\rightarrow\infty, \end{equation*} where $N=n+1$, and $\gamma$ is…

The function g(n) represents the smallest number Q such that every sequence of Q consecutive integers contains an integer coprime to n. We give a new and explicit upper bound on this function.

We give an asymptotic formula for correlations \[ \sum_{n\le x}f_1(P_1(n))f_2(P_2(n))\cdot \dots \cdot f_m(P_m(n))\] where $f\dots,f_m$ are bounded "pretentious" multiplicative functions, under certain natural hypotheses. We then deduce…

Let $N$ be a sufficiently large, odd integer. We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of representations of $N$ as the sum of three primes, one of which is smaller than a given $U$. By inserting the currently best zero-density…

We study the typical behavior of the least common multiple of the elements of a random subset $A\subset \{1,\dots, n\}$. For example we prove that $\text{lcm}\{a:\ a\in A\}=2^{n(1+o(1))}$ for almost all subsets $A\subset\{1,\dots,n\}$.

Kuzmin-Landau Lemma basic for the bound of sum of exponentials is a nice example of the arithmetization of Analysis. Here we tell the interesting story of this Lemma emphasizing Landau's best constant.

In this paper we present two new results on the number of certain conjugacy classes of a finite group. For a finite group $G$, let $n(G)$ be the maximum of $k_{p}(G)$ taken over all primes $p$ where $k_{p}(G)$ denotes the number of…

The function $\inf_n nx^{1/n}$ has the asymptotics $eu+e d^2(u)/(2u)+O(1/u^2)$ as $x\to\infty$, where $u=\log x$ and $d(u)$ is the distance from $u$ to the nearest integer. We generalize this observation. First, the curves $y=nx^{1/n}$ can…

Let $g(n)$ be the largest positive integer $k$ such that there are distinct primes $p_i$ for $1\leq i\leq k$ so that $p_i |n+i$. This function is related to a celebrated conjecture of C.A. Grimm. We establish upper and lower bounds for…

This paper deals with function field analogues of the famous theorem of Landau which gives the asymptotic density of sums of two squares in $\mathbb{Z}$. We define the analogue of a sum of two squares in $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ and estimate the…
