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 double sum $S_\varepsilon(X)$$=$$\sum_{\substack{d,e\le X}}\frac{\mu(d)\mu(e)}{[d,e]^{1+\varepsilon}}$, which converges even in the case $\varepsilon=0$, where $\mu$ denotes the M\"obius function and $[d,e]$ is the least common…

A multiplicative function $f$ is said to be resembling the M\"{o}bius function if $f$ is supported on the square-free integers, and $f(p)=\pm 1$ for each prime $p$. We prove $O$- and $\Omega$-results for the summatory function $\sum_{n\leq…

Let $M(x)=\sum_{1\le n\le x}\mu(n)$ where $\mu$ is the M\"obius function. It is well-known that the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the assertion that $M(x)=O(x^{1/2+\epsilon})$ for all $\epsilon>0$. There has been much interest and…

We introduce a general result relating "short averages" of a multiplicative function to "long averages" which are well understood. This result has several consequences. First, for the M\"obius function we show that there are cancellations…

For $\mu>0$ we study an asymptotic behavior of the sequence defined as $$T_{n}(\mu)=\frac{max_{1\leq m \leq {n^{\frac{1}{\mu}}}}\{\tau (n + m)\}}{\tau(n)},\ n=1,2,...$$ where $\tau(n)$ denotes the number of natural divisors of the given…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis we establish an upper bound for the sum of the M{\" o}bius function up to $x$. Our method is based on estimating the frequency with which intervals of a given length can contain an unusual number of ordinates…

The sum of proper divisors function $s(n)$ has been studied for more than 2000 years. In this paper we study statistical properties of the related function $S_s(n) := \sum_{d \mid n} s(d)$. This function arises from a generalization of the…

Motivated by recent results, we study sums of the form $S_f(x) = \sum_{n\leq x} f\left(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{n}\right\rfloor \right)$, where $f$ is an arithmetic function and $\left\lfloor\cdot\right\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of $\sum_{m,n\le x} \tau_{1,2}(mn)$, where $\tau_{1,2}(n) = \sum_{a b^2 = n} 1$, using multidimensional Perron formula and complex integration method. An asymptotic formula with an error term $O(x^{10/7})$…

Let $N$ be any fixed positive integer and define \begin{align*} S_N(x)=\sum_{m, n \leq x}d(n^2+Nm^2), \end{align*} where $d(n)$ is the divisor function. We evaluate asymptotically $S_N(x)$ for several $N$, extending earlier works of Gafurov…
