On the local behaviour of some arithmetical functions
We provide upper bounds for the mean square integralwhere and lies in a suitable range. For a fixed integer, is the error term in the asymptotic formula for the summatory function of the divisor function , generated by .
Improving on some results of J.-L. Nicolas [15], the elements of the set , for which the partition function (i.e. the number of partitions of with parts in ) is even for all are determined. An asymptotic estimate to the counting function of this set is also given.
