On the unimodal character of the frequency function of the largest prime factor

Jean-Marie De Koninck, Jason Pierre Sweeney (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the unimodal character of the frequency function of the largest prime factor. To do that, let P(n) stand for the largest prime factor of n. Then define f(x,p): = #{n ≤ x | P(n) = p}. If f(x,p) is considered as a function of p, for 2 ≤ p ≤ x, the primes in the interval [2,x] belong to three intervals I₁(x) = [2,v(x)], I₂(x) = ]v(x),w(x)[ and I₃(x) = [w(x),x], with v(x) < w(x), such that f(x,p) increases for p ∈ I₁(x), reaches its maximum value in...

On the value distribution of a class of arithmetic functions

Werner Georg Nowak (1996)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

This article deals with the value distribution of multiplicative prime-independent arithmetic functions ( α ( n ) ) with α ( n ) = 1 if n is N -free ( N 2 a fixed integer), α ( n ) > 1 else, and α ( 2 n ) . An asymptotic result is established with an error term probably definitive on the basis of the present knowledge about the zeros of the zeta-function. Applications to the enumerative functions of Abelian groups and of semisimple rings of given finite order are discussed.

Let b > a > 0 . We prove the following asymptotic formula n 0 | { x / ( n + a ) } - { x / ( n + b ) } | = 2 π ζ ( 3 / 2 ) c x + O ( c 2 / 9 x 4 / 9 ) , with c = b - a , uniformly for x 40 c - 5 ( 1 + b ) 27 / 2 .
