Let $l$ and $m$ be two integers with $l>m\ge 0$, and let $f(x)$ be the product of two linear polynomials with integer coefficients. In this paper, we show that $\log {\rm lcm}_{mn<i\le ln}\{f(i)\}=An+o(n)$, where $A$ is a constant depending…
Let $f(n)$ be an arithmetic function with $f(n) \ll n^\alpha$ for some $\alpha\in[0,1)$ and let $\lfloor .\rfloor $ denote the integer part function. In this paper, we evaluate asymptotically the sums $$\sum_{n_{1}n_{2}\leq x}f \left(…

Let $d_k(n)$ denote the $k$-fold divisor function. For a wide range of large $q$ the expected bound $$\sum_{n\leq x\atop {n\equiv a(q)}}d_k(n)-\text { main term }\approx \sqrt {x/q}$$ is shown to be true in an average sense -- for all $k$.…

Let $H(n) = \prod_{p|n}\frac{p}{p-1}$ where $p$ ranges over the primes which divide $n$. It is well known that if $n$ is a primitive non-deficient number, then $H(n) > 2$. We examine inequalities of the form $H(n)> 2 + f(n)$ for various…
A natural number $n$ is $y$-smooth if the greatest prime factor of $n$ does not exceed $y$. Let $s_{1}$ and $s_{2}$ are $y$-smooth numbers. We consider sums of smooth squares of the binary Titchmarsh divisor problem and give asymptotic…
The small $x$ behaviour of the structure function $h_1(x,Q^2)$ is studied within the leading logarithmic approximation of perturbative QCD. There are two contributions relevant at small $x$. The leading one behaves like $(\frac{1}{x})^0$…
We obtain the asymptotic expansion of the Voigt functions $K(x,y)$ and $L(x,y)$ for large (real) values of the variables $x$ and $y$, paying particular attention to the exponentially small contributions. A Stokes phenomenon is encountered…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the sums of divisors when the integers are modelled with the Bernoulli random walk; We prealably study the correlation properties of the corresponding system.
Let $\gcd(j,k)$ be the greatest common divisor of the integers $j$ and $k$. In this paper, we give several interesting asymptotic formulas for weighted averages of the $\gcd$-sum function $f(\gcd(j,k)) $ and the function $\sum_{d|k,…
Let $H_k$ be the set of all normalized primitive holomorphic cusp forms of even integral weight $k\geq 2$ for the full modular group $SL(2, \mathbb{Z})$, and let $j\geq 3$ be any fixed integer. For $f\in H_k$, we write $\lambda_{{\rm{sym}^j…

A random composition of $n$ appears when the points of a random closed set $\widetilde{\mathcal{R}}\subset[0,1]$ are used to separate into blocks $n$ points sampled from the uniform distribution. We study the number of parts $K_n$ of this…
