Odd perfect numbers of a special form

Tomohiro Yamada (2005)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We show that there is an effectively computable upper bound of odd perfect numbers whose Euler factors are powers of fixed exponent.

On 5 -tuples of twin practical numbers

Giuseppe Melfi (1999)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Un intero positivo m si dice pratico se ogni intero n con 1 < n < m può essere espresso come una somma di divisori distinti positivi di m . In questo articolo è affrontato il problema dell'esistenza di infinite cinquine di numeri pratici della forma m - 6 , m - 2 , m , m + 2 , m + 6 .

On a certain class of arithmetic functions

Antonio M. Oller-Marcén (2017)

Mathematica Bohemica

A homothetic arithmetic function of ratio K is a function f : R such that f ( K n ) = f ( n ) for every n . Periodic arithmetic funtions are always homothetic, while the converse is not true in general. In this paper we study homothetic and periodic arithmetic functions. In particular we give an upper bound for the number of elements of f ( ) in terms of the period and the ratio of f .

On a class of ψ -convolutions characterized by the identical equation

Jean-Louis Nicolas, Varanasi Sitaramaiah (2002)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

The identical equation for multiplicative functions established by R. Vaidyanathaswamy in the case of Dirichlet convolution in 1931 has been generalized to multiplicativity preserving ψ -convolutions satisfying certain conditions (cf. [7]) which can be called as Lehmer-Narkiewicz convolutions for some reasons. In this paper we prove the converse.

On a conjecture of Mąkowski and Schinzel concerning the composition of the arithmetic functions σ and ϕ

A. Grytczuk, F. Luca, M. Wójtowicz (2000)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For any positive integer n let ϕ(n) and σ(n) be the Euler function of n and the sum of divisors of n, respectively. In [5], Mąkowski and Schinzel conjectured that the inequality σ(ϕ(n)) ≥ n/2 holds for all positive integers n. We show that the lower density of the set of positive integers satisfying the above inequality is at least 0.74.

On a divisibility problem

Shichun Yang, Florian Luca, Alain Togbé (2019)

Mathematica Bohemica

Let p 1 , p 2 , be the sequence of all primes in ascending order. Using explicit estimates from the prime number theory, we show that if k 5 , then ( p k + 1 - 1 ) ! ( 1 2 ( p k + 1 - 1 ) ) ! p k ! , which improves a previous result of the second author.
