We obtain an upper bound for the number of pairs $ (a,b) \in {A\times B} $ such that $ a+b $ is a prime number, where $ A, B \subseteq \{1,...,N \}$ with $|A||B| \, \gg \frac{N^2}{(\log {N})^2}$, $\, N \geq 1$ an integer. This improves on a…

We say a natural number $n$ is matchable if there is a bijection from the set of $\tau(n)$ divisors of $n$ to the set $\{1,2,\dots,\tau(n)\}$, where corresponding numbers are relatively prime. We show that the set of matchable numbers has…

Let $x$ be a positive integer. We give an asymptotic result for $\omega(\operatorname{lcm}(m,n))$ summed over all positive integers $m$ and $n$ with $mn \le x$. This answers an open question posed in a recent paper.

Denote by $\tau$ k (n), $\omega$(n) and $\mu$ 2 (n) the number of representations of n as product of k natural numbers, the number of distinct prime factors of n and the characteristic function of the square-free integers, respectively. Let…

We consider a joint ordered multifactorisation for a given positive integer $n\geq 2$ into $m$ parts, where $n=n_1~\times~\ldots~\times~n_m$, and each part $n_j$ is split into one or more component factors. Our central result gives an…

The main object of this paper is to find closed form expressions for finite and infinite sums that are weighted by $\omega(n)$, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of distinct prime factors of $n$. We then derive general convergence criteria…

In this paper, we obtain formulas for the number of representations of positive integers as sums of arbitrarily many squares (and other polygonal numbers) with a certain natural weighting. The resulting weighted sums give Fourier…

For a positive integer $n$, if $\sigma(n)$ denotes the sum of the positive divisors of $n$, then $n$ is called a deficient perfect number if $\sigma(n)=2n-d$ for some positive divisor $d$ of $n$. In this paper, we prove some results about…

Let $$\sum_{\substack{d|n\\ d\equiv 1 (2)}}\frac{1}{d}$$ denote the sum of inverses of odd divisors of a positive integer $n$, and let $c_{r}(n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ as a sum of $r$ squares where representations with…

In the paper we study a special parameter containing algebraic inequality involving sum of reciprocals and product of positive real numbers whose sum is 1. We determine the best values of the parameter using a new optimization argument. In…

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…

Let $\gcd(d_{1},\ldots,d_{k})$ be the greatest common divisor of the positive integers $d_{1},\ldots,d_{k}$, for any integer $k\geq 2$, and let $\tau$ and $\mu$ denote the divisor function and the M\"{o}bius function, respectively. For an…

We prove an isomorphism between the finite domain from 1 up to the product of the first n primes and the new defined set of prime modular numbers. This definition provides some insights about relative prime numbers. We provide an inverse…

If \(A \) is a set of natural numbers containing \(0 \), then there is a unique nonempty "reciprocal" set \(B \) of natural numbers (containing \(0 \)) such that every positive integer can be written in the form \(a + b \), where \(a \in A…

Every natural number greater than two may be written as the sum of a prime and a square-free number. We establish several generalisations of this, by placing divisibility conditions on the square-free number.

Consider the divisor sum $\sum_{n\leq N}\tau(n^2+2bn+c)$ for integers $b$ and $c$. We extract an asymptotic formula for the average divisor sum in a convenient form, and provide an explicit upper bound for this sum with the correct main…

We continue investigations on the average number of representations of a large positive integer as a sum of given powers of prime numbers. The average is taken over a short interval, whose admissible length depends on whether or not we…

We investigate the average number of representations of a positive integer as the sum of $k + 1$ perfect $k$-th powers of primes. We extend recent results of Languasco and the last Author, which dealt with the case $k = 2$ [6] and $k = 3$…

We introduce and study the arithmetic function E_m(n), defined as the sum of the remainders of n when divided by the first m positive integers. Although the definition is elementary, the function encodes rich arithmetic structure. In this…

To factor an integer N, given that it is equal to the product of two primes, it suffices to find an integer d satisfying a certain simple numerical test. In this approach, the factorization problem equates to the problem of designing an…
