On the largest prime factor of n ! + 2 n - 1

Florian Luca, Igor E. Shparlinski (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

For an integer n 2 we denote by P ( n ) the largest prime factor of n . We obtain several upper bounds on the number of solutions of congruences of the form n ! + 2 n - 1 0 ( mod q ) and use these bounds to show that lim sup n P ( n ! + 2 n - 1 ) / n ( 2 π 2 + 3 ) / 18 .

On the mean square of the divisor function in short intervals

Aleksandar Ivić (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We provide upper bounds for the mean square integral X 2 X 𝔻 k ( x + h ) - 𝔻 k ( x ) 2 d x , where h = h ( X ) 1 , h = o ( x ) as X and h lies in a suitable range. For k 2 a fixed integer, 𝔻 k ( x ) is the error term in the asymptotic formula for the summatory function of the divisor function d k ( n ) , generated by ζ k ( s ) .
