1. Let r(n) be the number of representations of n as a sum of two squares, d(n) the number of divisors of n, andwhere γ is Euler's constant. Thus P(x) is the error term in the problem of the lattice points of a circle, and Δ(x) the error term in Dirichlet's divisor problem, or the problem of the lattice points of a rectangular hyperbola.

1. Let d ( n ) denote the number of divisors of the positive integer n , so that, if n = p 1 a 1 . . . p r ar is the canonical expression of n in prime factors, d ( n ) = (1 + a 1 ) . . . (1 + a r ), and let d ( x ) = 0 if x is not an iteger; then if (1. 1) D ( x ) = Σ' n ≤ x d ( n ) = Σ n ≤ x d ( n ) ─ ½ d ( x ), and (1. 2) Δ ( x ) = D ( x ) ─ x log x ─ (2C ─ 1) x ─ ¼, where C is Euler's constant, it was proved by Dirichlet in 1849 that (1. 21) Δ ( x ) = O (√ x ),

P. R. Scott (1) has asked which two-dimensional closed convex set E, centro-symmetric in the origin O, and containing no other Cartesian lattice-point in its interior, maximizes the ratio A/P, where A, P are the area, perimeter of E; he conjectured that the answer is the ‘rounded square’ (‘cushion’ in what follows), described below. We shall prove this, indeed in a more general setting, by seeking to maximizewhere κ is a parameter (0 < κ < 2); the set of admissible E is those E centro-symmetric in 0 that do not contain in their interior certain fixed lattice-points. There are two problems, the unrestricted one , where there is no given upper bound on A (it will become apparent that this problem only has a finite answer when κ ≥ 1) and the restricted one , when one is given a bound B and we must have A ≤ B. Special interest attaches to the case B = 4, both because of Minkowski's theorem: any E symmetric in O and containing no other lattice-point has area at most 4; and because it turns out that it is a ‘natural’ condition: the algebraic expressions simplify to a remarkable extent. Hence in what follows, the ‘restricted case ’ shall mean A ≤ 4.

Let [Formula: see text] be the number of divisors of [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] denote the error term in the classical Dirichlet divisor problem, and let [Formula: see text] denote the Riemann zeta-function. Several upper bounds for integrals of the type [Formula: see text] are given. This complements the results of [A. Ivić and W. Zhai, On some mean value results for [Formula: see text] and a divisor problem II, Indag. Math. 26(5) (2015) 842–866], where asymptotic formulas for [Formula: see text] were established for the above integral.

AbstractLet d(n;l,k) denote the number of divisors of the positive integer n which are congruent to I modulo k. The objective of the present paper is to prove that (for some exponent θ<⅓)holds uniformly in l, k and x satisfying 1≤l≤k≤x. This improves a recent result due to R. A. Smith and M. V. Subbarao [3].

In [2], it was asserted in Theorem 3 that the measure M(x0 + … + xx) is asymptotically , where c was an explicit constant. The value of c given was incorrect, and should be e-½γ where γ is Euler's constant. This was pointed out by the first author. In factwhere we have tried to make amends by improving the error term.

AbstractGardner et al. posed the problem to find a discrete analogue of Meyer’s inequality bounding from below the volume of a convex body by the geometric mean of the volumes of its slices with the coordinate hyperplanes. Motivated by this problem, for which we provide a first general bound, we study in a more general context the question of bounding the number of lattice points of a convex body in terms of slices, as well as projections.
