We discuss the summation of certain series defined by counting blocks of digits in the $B$-ary expansion of an integer. For example, if $s_2(n)$ denotes the sum of the base-2 digits of $n$, we show that $\sum_{n \geq 1} s_2(n)/(2n(2n+1)) =…

We study statistical properties of an NP-complete problem, the subset sum, using the methods and concepts of statistical mechanics. The problem is a generalization of the number partitioning problem, which is also an NP-complete problem and…

Consider the real numbers $$ \ell_{n,k} = \ln\left( \tfrac{3}{2}\,k+\sqrt{\left(\tfrac{3}{2}\,k \right)^2 + 3\,n} \right) $$ and the intervals $\mathcal{L}_{n,k} = \left]\ell_{n,k}-\ln 3,\ell_{n,k}\right]$. For all $n \geq 1$, define $$…

For a fixed $\theta\neq 0$, we define the twisted divisor function $$ \tau(n, \theta):=\sum_{d\mid n}d^{i\theta}\ .$$ In this article we consider the error term $\Delta(x)$ in the following asymptotic formula $$ \sum_{n\leq x}^*|\tau(n,…

The sequence of middle divisors is shown to be unbounded. For a given number $n$, $a_{n,0}$ is the number of divisors of $n$ in between $\sqrt{n/2}$ and $\sqrt{2n}$. We explicitly construct a sequence of numbers $n(i)$ and a list of…

In this paper, we consider the general divisor functions over Piatetski-Shapiro sequences. We can give some general results which contain some special divisor functions. Precisely, we extend the divisor problem over Piatetski-Shapiro…

Let $A$ be a finite set of positive real numbers. We present a sum-division estimate: |A+A|^2|A/A|\geq\frac{|A|^4}{4}.

We present a remarkably simple and surprisingly natural interpretation of the values of zeta functions at negative integers and zero. Namely we are able to relate these values to areas related to partial sums of powers. We apply these…

Let $\tau(n)$ denote the classical divisor function. In this paper, we consider the hyperbolic fractional sum of the divisor function defined by $$ T(x) = \sum_{n_1 n_2 \leqslant x} \tau\left( \left[ \frac{x}{n_1 n_2} \right] \right) =…

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 $k \ge 2$ be a fixed integer. We define the multiplicative function $D_k(n) = d_k(n)/d_k^*(n)$, such that $d_k(n)$ is the Piltz divisor function and $d_k^*(n) = k^{\omega(n)}$ is its unitary analogue, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of…

The Piltz divisor problem is a natural generalization of the classical Dirichlet divisor problem. In this paper, we study this problem over number fields and obtain improved $\Omega-$bounds for its error terms. Our approach involves…

The present article deals with properties of one class of functions with complicated local structure. These functions can be modeled by certain operators of digits. Such operators were considered by the author earlier (for example, see [27,…

For an integer b>=2, let s_b(n) be the sum of the digits of the integer n when written in base b, and let S_b(N) be the sum of s_b(n) over n=0,...,N-1, so that S_b(N) is the sum of all b-ary digits needed to write the numbers 0,1,...,N-1.…
