Divisor functions have attracted the attention of number theorists from Dirichlet to the present day. Here we consider associated divisor functions $c_j^{(r)}(n)$ which for non-negative integers $j, r$ count the number of ways of representing $n$ as an ordered product of $j+r$ factors, of which the first $j$ must be non-trivial, and their natural extension to negative integers $r.$ We give recurrence properties and explicit formulae for these novel arithmetic functions. Specifically, the functions $c_j^{(-j)}(n)$ count, up to a sign, the number of ordered factorisations of $n$ into $j$ square-free non-trivial factors. These functions are related to a modified version of the Mobius function and turn out to play a central role in counting the number of sum systems of given dimensions. par Sum systems are finite collections of finite sets of non-negative integers, of prescribed cardinalities, such that their set sum generates consecutive integers without repetitions. Using a recently established bijection between sum systems and joint ordered factorisations of their component set cardinalities, we prove a formula expressing the number of different sum systems in terms of associated divisor functions.
We prove a result on the distribution of the general divisor functions in arithmetic progressions to smooth moduli which exceed the square root of the length.
We introduce a shifted convolution sum that is parametrized by the squarefree natural number $t$. The asymptotic growth of this series depends explicitly on whether or not $t$ is a emph{congruent number}, an integer that is the area of a rational rig
Let $gcd(k,j)$ denote the greatest common divisor of the integers $k$ and $j$, and let $r$ be any fixed positive integer. Define $$ M_r(x; f) := sum_{kleq x}frac{1}{k^{r+1}}sum_{j=1}^{k}j^{r}f(gcd(j,k)) $$ for any large real number $xgeq 5$, where $f
We study the maximal cross number $mathsf{K}(G)$ of a minimal zero-sum sequence and the maximal cross number $mathsf{k}(G)$ of a zero-sum free sequence over a finite abelian group $G$, defined by Krause and Zahlten. In the first part of this paper, w
In this short, we study sums of the shape $sum_{nleqslant x}{f([x/n])}/{[x/n]},$ where $f$ is Euler totient function $varphi$, Dedekind function $Psi$, sum-of-divisors function $sigma$ or the alternating sum-of-divisors function $beta.$ We improve pr
