In this article, we investigate sparse subsets of the natural numbers and study the sparseness of some sets associated with the Euler's totient function $\phi$ via the property of `Banach Density'. These sets related to the totient function…
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 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 $1=d_{1}<d_{2}< \cdots < d_{\tau(n)}=n$ 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…

The generalized group of units of the ring modulo $n$ was first introduced by El-Kassar and Chehade, written as $U^k(Z_n)$. This allows us to formulate a new generalization to the Euler phi function $\varphi(n)$, that represents the order…
The details for the construction of an explicit formula for the divisors function d(n) = #{d | n} are formalized in this article. This formula facilitates a unified approach to the investigation of the error terms of the divisor problem and…
Lehmer's totient problem consists of determining the set of positive integers $n$ such that $\varphi(n)|n-1$ where $\varphi$ is Euler's totient function. In this paper we introduce the concept of $k$-Lehmer number. A $k$-Lehmer number is a…
Euler--Maclaurin and Poisson analogues of the summations $\sum_{a < n \leq b} \chi(n) f(n)$, $\sum_{a < n \leq b} d(n) f(n)$, $\sum_{a < n \leq b} d(n) \chi (n) f(n)$ have been obtained in a unified manner, where $(\chi (n))$ is a periodic…
We deduce asymptotic formulas for the alternating sums $\sum_{n\le x} (-1)^{n-1} f(n)$ and $\sum_{n\le x} (-1)^{n-1} \frac1{f(n)}$, where $f$ is one of the following classical multiplicative arithmetic functions: Euler's totient function,…
Ramanujan investigated maximal order for the number of divisors function by introducing some notion such as (superior) highly composite numbers. He also studied maximal order for other arithmetic functions including the sum of powers of…
