Ramanujan sums and almost periodic functions
In the study of the -adic sum of digits function , the arithmetical function and for plays a very important role. In this paper, we firstly generalize the relation between and to a bijective relation between arithmetical functions. And as an application, we investigate some aspects of the sum of digits functions induced by binary infinite Gray codes . We can show that the difference of the sum of digits function, , is realized by an automaton. And the summation formula of the sum...
For nonnegative integers a, b, c and positive integer n, let N(a,b,c;n) denote the number of representations of n by the form . Explicit formulas for N(a,b,c;n) for some small values were determined by Alaca, Alaca and Williams, by Chan and Cooper, by Köklüce, and by Lomadze. We establish formulas for N(2,1,0;n), N(2,0,1;n), N(1,2,0;n), N(1,0,2;n) and N(1,1,1;n) by employing the (p, k)-parametrization of three 2-dimensional theta functions due to Alaca, Alaca and Williams.
