We improve unconditional estimates on $\Delta_k(x)$, the remainder term of the generalised divisor function, for large $k$. In particular, we show that $\Delta_k(x) \ll x^{1 - 1.889k^{-2/3}}$ for all sufficiently large fixed $k$.

We study the triple convolution sum of the generalised divisor functions $$\sum_{n\leq x} d_k(n+h)d_l(n)d_m(n-h),$$ where $h \le x^{1-\epsilon}$ for any $\epsilon>0$ and $d_k(n)$ denotes the generalised divisor function which counts the…

Let $\Delta_{k}(x)$ be the error term in the classical asymptotic formula for the sum $\sum_{n\leq x}d_{k}(n)$, where $d_{k}(n)$ is the number of ways $n$ can be written as a product of $k$ factors. We study the analytic properties of the…

We study the function $\Delta_k(x):=\sum_{n\leq x} d_k(n) - \mbox{Res}_{s=1} ( \zeta^k(s) x^s/s )$, where $k\geq 3$ is an integer, $d_k(n)$ is the $k$-fold divisor function, and $\zeta(s)$ is the Riemann zeta-function. For a large parameter…

We prove that $$ \int_1^X\Delta(x)\Delta_3(x)\,dx \ll X^{13/9}\log^{10/3}X, \quad \int_1^X\Delta(x)\Delta_4(x)\,dx \ll_\varepsilon X^{25/16+\varepsilon}, $$ where $\Delta_k(x)$ is the error term in the asymptotic formula for the summatory…

We present several new results involving $\Delta(x+U)-\Delta(x)$, where $U = o(x)$ and $$ \Delta(x):=\sum_{n\le x}d(n)-x\log x-(2\gamma-1)x $$ is the error term in the classical Dirichlet divisor problem.

Let $\Delta(x)$ denote the error term in the Dirichlet divisor problem. Our main results are the asymptotic formulas $$ \int_1^X \Delta^3(x){\rm d}x = BX^{7/4} + O_\epsilon(X^{\beta+\epsilon}) \qquad(B > 0) $$ and $$ \int_1^X…

Let $d(n)$ denote the Dirichlet divisor function. Define \begin{equation*} \mathcal{S}_{k}(x)=\sum_{\substack{1\leqslant n_1,n_2,n_3 \leqslant x^{1/2} \\ 1\leqslant n_4\leqslant x^{1/k} }} d(n_1^2+n_2^2+n_3^2+n_4^k), \qquad 3\leqslant k\in…

In this article, we obtain effective estimates for the error term $\Delta_{k}(x)$ for all integers $k \geq2$, and completely explicit estimates for integers $k \in [3,9]$. The explicit results improve the powers of $x$ appearing in the…

Let $\Delta(x)$ be the error term of the Dirichlet divisor problem. The asymptotic formula of the integral $\int_1^T\Delta^k(x)dx$ is established for any integer $3\leq k\leq 9$ by an unified method. Similar results are also established for…

Let $3\leqslant k\leqslant9$ be a fixed integer, $p$ be a prime and $d(n)$ denote the Dirichlet divisor function. We use $\Delta(x)$ to denote the error term in the asymptotic formula of the summatory function of $d(n)$. The aim of this…

Several results are obtained concerning the function $\Delta_k(x)$, which represents the error term in the general Dirichlet divisor problem. These include the estimates for the integral of this function, as well as for the corresponding…

Suppose $k\geqslant3$ is an integer. Let $\tau_k(n)$ be the number of ways $n$ can be written as a product of $k$ fixed factors. For any fixed integer $r\geqslant2$, we have the asymptotic formula \begin{equation*}…

It is proved that, if $k\ge2$ is a fixed integer and $1 \ll H \le X/2$, then $$ \int_{X-H}^{X+H}\Delta^4_k(x)\d x \ll_\epsilon X^\epsilon\Bigl(HX^{(2k-2)/k} + H^{(2k-3)/(2k+1)}X^{(8k-8)/(2k+1)}\Bigr), $$ where $\Delta_k(x)$ is the error…

In this series we examine the calculation of the $2k$th moment and shifted moments of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line using long Dirichlet polynomials and divisor correlations. The present paper is concerned with the precise…

We study the triple convolution sum of the divisor function given by $$\sum_{n\leq x} d(n)d(n-h)d(n+h)$$ for $h\neq 0$ and $d(n)$ denotes the number of positive divisors of $n$. Based on algebraic and geometric considerations, Browning…

We obtain a new upper bound for $\sum_{h\le H}\Delta_k(N,h)$ for $1\le H\le N$, $k\in \N$, $k\ge3$, where $\Delta_k(N,h)$ is the (expected) error term in the asymptotic formula for $\sum_{N < n\le2N}d_k(n)d_k(n+h)$, and $d_k(n)$ is the…

Let $d(n)$ be the number of divisors of $n$, let $$ \Delta(x) := \sum_{n\le x}d(n) - x(\log x + 2\gamma -1) $$ denote the error term in the classical Dirichlet divisor problem, and let $\zeta(s)$ denote the Riemann zeta-function. Several…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the smoothed shifted convolution of the generalised divisor function $d_k(n)$ and the divisor function $d(n)$, with a power-saving error term independent of $k$. In particular, when $k$ is large, this is…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the shifted convolution of the divisor functions $d_k(n)$ and $d(n)$ with $k \geq 4$, which is uniform in the shift parameter and which has a power-saving error term, improving results obtained previously…
