In this paper, we derive new properties of the Mertens function and discuss a likely upper bound of the absolute value of the Mertens function $\sqrt{\log{x!}}>|M(x)|$ when $x>1$. Using this likely bound we show that we have a sufficient…

Let $f$ be a Steinhaus random multiplicative function, and for $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$, let $d_\alpha$ denote the $\alpha$-divisor function. For $\alpha \in (1,2)$ we establish that $$ \mathbb{E}\bigg\{\Big|\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\sum_{n\leq x}…

We prove an explicit upper bound of the function $S(t,\chi)$, defined by the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions. An explicit upper bound of the function $S_1(t)$, defined by the integral of the argument of the Riemann zeta-function, have…

The Dirichlet eta function can be divided into $n$-th partial sum $\eta_{n}(s)$ and remainder term $R_{n}(s)$. We focus on the remainder term which can be approximated by the expression for $n$. And then, to increase reliability, we make…

This article establishes a new upper bound on the function $\sigma^{*}(n)$, the sum of all coprime divisors of $n$. The article concludes with two questions concerning this function.

In this paper, we establish new explicit bounds for the Mertens function $M(x)$. In particular, we compare $M(x)$ against a short-sum over the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$, whose difference we can bound using…

Euler's totient function, $\varphi(n)$, which counts how many of $0,1,\dots,n-1$ are coprime to $n$, has an explicit asymptotic lower bound of $n/\log \log n$, modulo some constant. In this note, we generalise $\varphi$; given an…

The upper bound and the lower bound of average numbers of divisors of Euler Phi function and Carmichael Lambda function are obtained by Luca and Pomerance (see \cite{LP}). We improve the lower bound and provide a heuristic argument which…

We study a certain class of arithmetic functions that appeared in Klurman's classification of $\pm 1$ multiplicative functions with bounded partial sums, c.f., Comp. Math. 153 (8), 2017, pp. 1622-1657. These functions are periodic and…

The lower and upper bounds are found for the leading term of summatory totient function $\sum_{k\leq N}k^u\phi^v(k)$ in various ranges of $u\in{\mathbb R}$ and $v\in{\mathbb Z}$.

Let $\vfi$ be Euler's function, $\ga$ be Euler's constant and $N_k$ be the product of the first $k$ primes. In this article, we consider the function $c(n) =(n/\vfi(n)-e^\ga\log\log n)\sqrt{\log n}$. Under Riemann's hypothesis, it is proved…

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis we establish explicit bounds for the modulus of the log-derivative of Riemann's zeta-function in the critical strip.

New unconditional estimates of the divisor and totient functions are contributed to the literature. These results are consistent with the Riemann hypothesis and seem to solve the Nicolas inequality for all sufficiently large integers.

In this article, we give, under the Riemann hypothesis, an upper bound for the exponential moments of the imaginary part of the logarithm of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line. Our result, which gives information on the…

The Erd\H{o}s-Hooley Delta function is defined for $n\in\mathbb{N}$ as $\Delta(n)=\sup_{u\in\mathbb{R}} \#\{d|n : e^u<d\le e^{u+1}\}$. We prove that $\sum_{n\le x} \Delta(n) \ll x(\log\log x)^{11/4}$ for all $x\ge100$. This improves on…

In this paper, we obtain bounds on the $L^1$ norm of the sum $\sum_{n\le x}\tau(n) e(\alpha n)$ where $\tau(n)$ is the divisor function.

Let $M(x)$ denote the largest cardinality of a subset of $\{n \in \mathbf{N}: n \leq x\}$ on which the Euler totient function $\varphi(n)$ is non-decreasing. We show that $M(x) = (1+O(\frac{(\log\log x)^5}{\log x})) \pi(x)$ for all $x \geq…

In this paper we investigate the positivity property of the real part of logarithmic derivative of the Riemann $\xi$-function for $1/2<\sigma<1$ and sufficiently large $t$. We give an explicit upper and lower bounds for $\Re\sum_{\rho}…

The divisor function $\sigma(n)$ denotes the sum of the divisors of the positive integer $n$. For a prime $p$ and $m \in \mathbb{N}$, the $p$-adic valuation of $m$ is the highest power of $p$ which divides $m$. Formulas for…

For $L(\cdot,\pi)$ in a large class of $L$-functions, assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we show an explicit bound for the function $S_1(t,\pi)=\frac{1}{\pi}\int_{1/2}^\infty\log|L(\sigma+it,\pi)|\,d\sigma$, expressed in terms of…
