On sums of two cubes: an Ω₊-estimate for the error term

M. Kühleitner, W. G. Nowak, J. Schoissengeier, T. D. Wooley (1998)

Acta Arithmetica

The arithmetic function r k ( n ) counts the number of ways to write a natural number n as a sum of two kth powers (k ≥ 2 fixed). The investigation of the asymptotic behaviour of the Dirichlet summatory function of r k ( n ) leads in a natural way to a certain error term P k ( t ) which is known to be O ( t 1 / 4 ) in mean-square. In this article it is proved that P ( t ) = Ω ( t 1 / 4 ( l o g l o g t ) 1 / 4 ) as t → ∞. Furthermore, it is shown that a similar result would be true for every fixed k > 3 provided that a certain set of algebraic numbers contains a sufficiently...

On the asymmetric divisor problem with congruence conditions

Manfred Kühleitner (1996)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A certain generalized divisor function d * ( n ) is studied which counts the number of factorizations of a natural number n into integer powers with prescribed exponents under certain congruence restrictions. An Ω -estimate is established for the remainder term in the asymptotic for its Dirichlet summatory function.
