Let $\mathcal{D}_{n} \subset \mathbb{N}$ be the set of the $\tau(n)$ divisors of $n$. We generalize a method developed by Erd\H os, Tenenbaum and de la Bret\`eche for the study of the set $\mathcal{D}_{n}$. In particular, using these ideas,…

We study an asymptotic behavior of the sum $\sum\limits_{n\le x}\frac{\D \tau(n)}{\D \tau(n+a)}$. Here $\tau(n)$ denotes the number of divisors of $n$ and $a\ge 1$ is a fixed integer.

Let $1=d_{1}<d_{2}< \cdots < d_{\tau(n)}=n$ denote the ordered sequence of the positive divisors of an integer $n$. We are interested in estimating the arithmetic function $$ V(n) := \prod_{1 \le i < j \le \tau(n)}(d_{j}-d_{i}) \quad (n \ge…

In this paper we study linear correlations of the divisor function tau(n) = sum_{d|n} 1 using methods developed by Green and Tao. For example, we obtain an asymptotic for sum_{n,d} tau(n) tau(n+d) ... tau(n+ (k-1)d).

Let n be a non-null positive integer and $d(n)$ is the number of positive divisors of n, called the divisor function. Of course, $d(n) \leq n$. $d(n) = 1$ if and only if $n = 1$. For $n > 2$ we have $d(n) \geq 2$ and in this paper we try to…

Given a positive integer $n$ the $k$-fold divisor function $d_k(n)$ equals the number of ordered $k$-tuples of positive integers whose product equals $n$. In this article we study the variance of sums of $d_k(n)$ in short intervals and…

Let $\tau(n)$ stand for the number of divisors of the positive integer $n$. We obtain upper bounds for $\tau(n)$ in terms of $\log n$ and the number of distinct prime factors of $n$.

We give a relatively short proof of one of the central cases of the main theorem from the paper "The distribution of integers with a divisor in a given interval", math.NT/0401223. Namely, we determine the order of magnitude of the number of…

In this paper, we study the sum of the divisor function over sets with digit restrictions.

N. Minculete has introduced a concept of divisors of order $r$: integer $d=p_1^{b_1}\cdots p_k^{b_k} $ is called a divisor of order $r$ of $n=p_1^{a_1}\cdots p_k^{a_k}$ if $d \mid n$ and $b_j\in\{r, a_j\}$ for $j=1,\ldots,k$. One can…

Let $d,n$ be positive integers and $S$ be an arbitrary set of positive integers. We say that $d$ is an $S$-divisor of $n$ if $d|n$ and gcd $(d,n/d)\in S$. Consider the $S$-convolution of arithmetical functions given by (1.1), where the sum…

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…

Let $d_1 = 1 < d_2 < d_3 < \cdots < d_{\tau(n)} = n$ denote the increasing sequence of the divisors of a positive integer $n$. In this paper, for real or complex values of $\alpha$, we define and study some properties of two new divisor…

We study the distribution of divisors of Euler's totient function and Carmichael's function. In particular, we estimate how often the values of these functions have "dense" divisors.

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…

For each positive integer $n$, we define the divisibility relation graph $D_n$ whose vertex set is the set of divisors of $n$, and in which two vertices are adjacent if one is a divisor of the other. This type of graph is a special case of…

In this article, we present relations for the Euler totient function $\varphi(n)$ and the number of divisors $\tau(n)$ in terms of finite sums of integer parts of rational numbers or greatest common divisors of pairs of integers. Some of…

We establish asymptotic formulae for various correlations involving general divisor functions $d_k(n)$ and partial divisor functions $d_l(n,A)=\sum_{q|n:q\leq n^A}d_{l-1}(q)$, where $A\in[0,1]$ is a parameter and $k,l\in\mathbb{N}$ are…

We study the function $\Theta(x,y,z)$ that counts the number of positive integers $n\le x$ which have a divisor $d>z$ with the property that $p\le y$ for every prime $p$ dividing $d$. We also indicate some cryptographic applications of our…
