Let 0 < α < 1/2 and let dα(n) be the number of positive divisors k of n such that nα ≤ k ≤ n1-α, which we call a restricted divisor function. In the case α = 1/N (N ∈ N) we derive an asymptotic representation of Σn≤xdα(n). Furthermore we study the mean square of Pα(x) = Σl≤xαφ (x/l), which seems to be a natural object in the case of a restricted divisor problem.

Abstract


Let 0 < α < 1/2 and let dα(n) be the number of positive divisors k of n such that nα ≤ k ≤ n1-α, which we call a restricted divisor function. In the case α = 1/N (N ∈ N) we derive an asymptotic representation of Σn≤xdα(n). Furthermore we study the mean square of Pα(x) = Σl≤xαφ (x/l), which seems to be a natural object in the case of a restricted divisor problem.
