We introduce the sequence $(a_n) \subset (0,1]$ and prove that the asymptotic behaviour of $\sum_{k=1}^n a_k$ is the same than $\pi(n)$, the prime-counting function. We also obtain that $\pi(n) \sim n a_n$ and we estimate…
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 sums of the shape $\sum_{n \leqslant x} f \left( \lfloor x/n \rfloor \right)$ where $f$ is either the von Mangoldt function or the Dirichlet-Piltz divisor functions. We improve previous estimates when $f = \Lambda$ and $f = \tau$,…
This work gives a general approach to the determination of the asymptotic behavior of the sums of functions of primes based on the distribution of primes. It refines the estimate of the remainder term of the asymptotic expansion of the sums…
In this short, we study sums of the shape $\sum_{n\leqslant x}{f([x/n])}/{[x/n]},$ where $f$ is Euler totient function $\varphi$, Dedekind function $\Psi$, sum-of-divisors function $\sigma$ or the alternating sum-of-divisors function…
Let f(m,n) denote the number of relatively prime subsets of {m+1,m+2,...,n}, and let Phi(m,n) denote the number of subsets A of {m+1,m+2,...,n} such that gcd(A) is relatively prime to n. Let f_k(m,n) and Phi_k(m,n) be the analogous counting…
We study the arithmetic function sopfr$(n)$ (OEIS A001414) which gives the sum of prime factors (with repetition) of a number $n$. In particular we obtain the asymptotic formula $$ \sum_{n \leq x} \rm{sopfr}(n) \sim \frac{\pi^2}{12}…
Let $F({\bf x})\in\mathbb{Z}[x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n]$ be a quadratic polynomial in $n\geq 3$ variables with a nonsingular quadratic part. Using the circle method we derive an asymptotic formula for the sum $$ \Sigma_{k,F}(X;…
Let $D$ be a subset of a finite commutative ring $R$ with identity. Let $f(x)\in R[x]$ be a polynomial of positive degree $d$. For integer $0\leq k \leq |D|$, we study the number $N_f(D,k,b)$ of $k$-subsets $S\subseteq D$ such that…
Motivated by studies in accelerator physics this paper computes the asymptotic behavior of the series $\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^N \varphi(k) I_N\left(\frac{1}{k}\right)$, where $\varphi(k)$ is Euler's Totient function and $\displaystyle…
We prove several asymptotic continued fraction expansions of $\pi(x)$, $\Pi(x)$, $\operatorname{li}(x)$, $\operatorname{Ri}(x)$, and related functions, where $\pi(x)$ is the prime counting function, $\Pi(x) = \sum_{k = 1}^\infty…
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…
We examine the sum of modified Bessel functions with argument depending non-linearly on the summation index given by \[S_{\nu,p}(a)=\sum_{n\geq 1} (an^p/2)^{-\nu} K_\nu(an^p)\qquad (a>0,\ 0\leq\nu<1)\] as the parameter $a\to 0+$, where $p$…
This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of sums of terms which are a test function f evaluated at successive increments of a discretely sampled semimartingale. Typically the test function is a power function (when the power is…
Denote by $p(k)$ the limit, as $n \rightarrow \infty$, of the probability that a random permutation on a set of size $n$ has an invariant set of size $k$. We give an asymptotic formula for $p(k)$, showing that it is asymptotically…
The Landau-Selberg-Delange method provides an asymptotic formula for the partial sums of a multiplicative function whose average value on primes is a fixed complex number $v$. The shape of this asymptotic implies that $f$ can get very small…
We consider the asymptotic evaluation of the integral transform $\int_0^\infty f(x) \, \sin^n(\lambda x)/x^n \,\text{d} x$ of an exponential type function $f(x)$ of type $\tau>0$, for large values of the parameter $\lambda$, where $n$ is a…
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…
In a recent paper (Tran et al., Ann.Phys.311(2004)204), some asymptotic number theoretical results on the partitioning of an integer were derived exploiting its connection to the quantum density of states of a many-particle system. We…
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…
