In recent, H. Sun defined a new kind of refined Eulerian polynomials, namely, \begin{eqnarray*} A_n(p,q)=\sum_{\pi\in \mathfrak{S}_n}p^{{\rm odes}(\pi)}q^{{\rm edes}(\pi)} \end{eqnarray*} for $n\geq 1$, where ${odes}(\pi)$ and ${edes}(\pi)$…

We prove several results regarding the distribution of numbers that are the product of a prime and a $k$-th power. First, we prove an asymptotic formula for the counting function of such numbers; this generalises a result of E. Cohen. We…

In 1918, Hardy and Ramanujan published a seminal paper which included an asymptotic formula for the partition function. In their paper, they also claim without proof an asymptotic equivalence for $p^k(n)$, the number of partitions of a…

Let $B_n$ ($n = 0, 1, 2, ...$) denote the usual $n$-th Bernoulli number. Let $l$ be a positive even integer where $l=12$ or $l \geq 16$. It is well known that the numerator of the reduced quotient $|B_l/l|$ is a product of powers of…

We establish a link between the distribution of an exponential functional I and the undershoots of a subordinator, which is given in terms of the associated harmonic potential measure. This allows us to give a necessary and sufficient…

We obtain asymptotic formulas for sums over arithmetic progressions of coefficients of polynomials of the form $$\prod_{j=1}^n\prod_{k=1}^{p-1}(1-q^{pj-k})^s,$$ where $p$ is an odd prime and $n, s$ are positive integers. Let us denote by…

We derive a combinatorial multisum expression for the number $D(n,k)$ of partitions of $n$ with Durfee square of order $k$. An immediate corollary is therefore a combinatorial formula for $p(n)$, the number of partitions of $n$. We then…

We survey arithmetic and asymptotic properties of the alternating sum-of-divisors function $\beta$ defined by $\beta(p^a)=p^a-p^{a-1}+p^{a-2}-...+(-1)^a$ for every prime power $p^a$ ($a\ge 1$), and extended by multiplicativity. Certain open…

This short note provides a sharper upper bound of a well known inequality for the sum of divisors function. This is a problem in pure mathematics related to the distribution of prime numbers. Furthermore, the technique is completely…

We deduce asymptotic formulas for the sums $\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_r\le x} f(n_1\cdots n_r)$ and $\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_r\le x} f([n_1\cdots n_r])$, where $r\ge 2$ is a fixed integer, $[n_1,\ldots,n_r]$ stands for the least common multiple of the…

For a function $f\colon \mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$, let $$ N^+_f(x)=\{n\leq x: n=k+f(k) \mbox{ for some } k\}. $$ Let $\tau(n)=\sum_{d|n}1$ be the divisor function, $\omega(n)=\sum_{p|n}1$ be the prime divisor function, and…

We define the $\textit{Divisor Divisibility Sequence}$ associated to a Laurent polynomial $f\in\mathbb{Z}[X_1^{\pm1},\ldots,X_N^{\pm1}]$ to be the sequence $W_n(f)=\prod f(\zeta_1,\ldots,\zeta_N)$, where $\zeta_1,\ldots,\zeta_N$ range over…

Let $D$ be a subset of a finite commutative ring $R$ with identity. Let $f(x)\in R[x]$ be a polynomial of positive degree $d$. For integer $0\leq k \leq |D|$, we study the number $N_f(D,k,b)$ of $k$-subsets $S\subseteq D$ such that…

We study the deterministic recursion $n_{j+1} = n_j - \tau(n_j)$, where $\tau(n)$ denotes the divisor function, and the associated orbit length $a(x)$. Heuristics based on the average order of $\tau(n)$ suggest that $a(x) \asymp x / \log…

Let $\tau$ denote the divisor function and $\mathcal{H}=\{h_{1},...,h_{k}\}$ be an admissible set. We prove that there are infinitely many $n$ for which the product $\prod_{i=1}^{k}(n+h_{i})$ is square-free and…

We show that the exponent of distribution of the ternary divisor function $d_3$ in arithmetic progressions to prime moduli is at least 1/2+1/46, improving results of Heath-Brown and Friedlander--Iwaniec. Furthermore, when averaging over a…

We determine asymptotically the maximal order of log d(d(n)), where d(n) is the number of positive divisors of n. This solves a problem first put forth by Ramanujan in 1915.

Let $s(n)=\sum_{d\mid n,~d<n} d$ denote the sum of the proper divisors of $n$. The second-named author proved that $\omega(s(n))$ has normal order $\log\log{n}$, the analogue for $s$-values of a classical result of Hardy and Ramanujan. We…

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…

For a function $f\colon \mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$, define $N^{\times}_{f}(x)=\#\{n\leq x: n=kf(k) \mbox{ for some $k$} \}$. Let $\tau(n)=\sum_{d|n}1$ be the divisor function, $\omega(n)=\sum_{p|n}1$ be the prime divisor function, and…
