Abstract

We prove that 1XΔ(x)Δ3(x)dxX13/9log10/3X,1XΔ(x)Δ4(x)dxεX25/16+ε, \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 Δk(x)\Delta_k(x) is the error term in the asymptotic formula for the summatory function of dk(n)d_k(n), generated by ζk(s)\zeta^k(s) (Δ2(x)Δ(x)\Delta_2(x) \equiv \Delta(x)). These bounds are sharper than the ones which follow by the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and mean square results for Δk(x)\Delta_k(x). We also obtain the analogues of the above bounds when \D(x)\D(x) is replaced by E(x)E(x), the error term in the mean square formula for ζ(1/2+it)|\zeta(1/2+it)|.
