Abstract

If P(x)P(x) is the error term in the circle problem, then it is proved that 0P2(x)ex/Tdx=14(Tπ)3/2n=1r2(n)n3/2T+Oϵ(T2/3+ϵ),\int_0^\infty P^2(x)e^{-x/T}dx = {1\over4}({T\over\pi})^{3/2} \sum_{n=1}^\infty r^2(n)n^{-3/2} - T + O_\epsilon(T^{2/3+\epsilon}), improving the author's earlier exponent 5/6. The new bound is obtained by using results of F. Chamizo on the correlated sum nxr(n)r(n+h)\sum_{n\le x}r(n)r(n+h), where r(n)r(n) is the number of representations of nn as a sum of two squares.
