Let $A(s) = \sum_n a_n n^{-s}$ be a Dirichlet series with meromorphic continuation. Say we are given information on the poles of $A(s)$ with $|\Im s| \leq T$ for some large constant $T$. What is the best way to use such finite spectral data…

The image of Euler's totient function is composed of the number 1 and even numbers. However, many even numbers are not in the image. We consider the problem of finding those even numbers which are in the image and those which are not. If an…

In 1963, Edward Spence published a proof of the following With $\phi$ being Euler totient function, if $n>1$ is an integer, and if \begin{equation*} 0<a_1<\cdots<a_{\phi(n)}<n, \end{equation*} are the positive integers less than $n$,…

Recently, there has been some interest in values of arithmetical functions on members of special sequences, such as Euler's totient function $\phi$ on factorials, linear recurrences, etc. In this article, we investigate, for given positive…

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…

We define the $k$-dimensional generalized Euler function $\varphi_k(n)$ as the number of ordered $k$-tuples $(a_1,\ldots,a_k)\in {\Bbb N}^k$ such that $1\le a_1,\ldots,a_k\le n$ and both the product $a_1\cdots a_k$ and the sum $a_1+\cdots…

We show that for some $k\le 3570$ and all $k$ with $442720643463713815200|k$, the equation $\phi(n)=\phi(n+k)$ has infinitely many solutions $n$, where $\phi$ is Euler's totient function. We also show that for a positive proportion of all…

Let $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character of modulus $q$ with associated \textit{L}-function $L(s,\chi)$. We prove that $$|L(1,\chi)|\le\left(\frac{1}{2}+O\Big(\frac{\log\log q}{\log q}\Big)\right)\frac{\varphi(q)}{q}\log q\,,$$…

We prove simple theorems concerning the maximal order of a large class of multiplicative functions. As an application, we determine the maximal orders of certain functions of the type $\sigma_A(n)= \sum_{d\in A(n)} d$, where A(n) is a…

In this note, we show that each positive rational number can be written as $\varphi(m^2)/\varphi(n^2)$, where $\varphi$ is Euler's totient function and $m$ and $n$ are positive integers.

Let $j \ge1$, $k\ge 0$ be real numbers and $\varphi(n)$ be the Euler function. In this paper, we study the asymptotical behaviour of the summation function $$S_{j,k}(x):=\sum_{n\le x}\frac{\varphi\left ( \left [ \frac{x}{n} \right ]^{j}…

Let phi(n) be Euler's totient function and let sigma(n) be the sum of the positive divisors of n. We show that most phi-values (integers in the range of phi) are not sigma-values and vice versa.

In this paper, we show that if $(U_n)_{n\ge 1}$ is any nondegenerate linearly recurrent sequence of integers whose general term is up to sign not a polynomial in $n$, then the inequality $\phi(|U_n|)\ge |U_{\phi(n)}|$ holds on a set of…

In this paper, basing on the linear algebra methods and elementary techniques, for any positive integers $ e $ and $ n $, we obtain a recursion formula for the generalized Euler function $ \varphi_e(n) $, which is determined by some…

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.

The main goal of this paper is to provide a group theoretical generalization of the well-known Euler's totient function. This determines an interesting class of finite groups.

This article extends our previous study on the summatory behavior of Euler's totient function $\varphi(n)$. We investigate two complementary restricted sums, $\Upsilon(x,p)=\sum_{\substack{k\le x\\\gcd(k,p)=1}}\varphi(k)$ and…
