The problem considered in this paper is that of finding the least possible h = h(x) such that a given arithmetic function a(n) should keep its average order in the interval x, x + h, i.e. that we haveandas x → ∞.

In this note the arithmetic functions L(n) and w(n) denote respectively the number and product of the distinct prime divisors of the integer n ≥ 1, and L(l) = 0, w(l) = 1. An arithmetic function f is called multiplicative if f(1) = 1 and f(mn) = f(m)f(n) whenever (m, n) = 1. It is known ([1], [3], [4]) that every multiplicative function f satisfies the identity1.1

An arithmetic function f is said to be multiplicative if f(1) = 1 and f(mn) = f(m)f(n) whenever (m, n) = 1, where (m, n) denotes as usual the greatest common divisor of m and n. Furthermore an arithmetic function is said to be linear (or completely multiplicative) if f(1) = 1 and f(mn) = f(m)f(n) for all positive integers m and n.The Dirichlet convolution of two arithmetic functions f and g is defined by for all n∈Z+. Recall that the set of all multiplicative functions, denoted by M, with this operation is an abelian group.

Let f(n) be a real-valued additive arithmetic function, that is to say, that f(ab) = f(a) + f(b) for each pair of coprime integers a and b. Let α(x) and β(x) > 0 be real-valued functions, defined for x ≥ 2. In this paper, we study the frequenciesWe shall establish necessary and sufficient conditions, subject to rather weak growth conditions upon β(x) alone, in order that these frequencies converge to the improper law, in other words, that f(n) obey a form of the weak law of large numbers.

Throughout this paper the arithmetic functions L(n) and w(n) denote respectively the number and product of the distinct prime divisors of the integer n > 1, with L(1) = 0 and w(1) = 1. Also letWe recall that an arithmetic function f(n) is said to be multiplicative if f(1) = 1 and f(mn) = f(m)f(n) whenever (m, n) = 1, where (m, n) denotes as usual the greatest common divisor of m and n.

An arithmetic function ƒ(n) is said to be additive if it satisfies ƒ(ab) = ƒ(a) + ƒ(b) whenever a and b are coprime integers. For such a function we defineA standard form of the Turán-Kubilius inequality states that(1)holds for some absolute constant c1, uniformly for all complex-valued additive arithmetic functions ƒ (n), and real x ≧ 2. An inequality of this type was first established by Turán [11], [12] subject to some side conditions upon the size of │ƒ(pm)│. For the general inequality we refer to [10].This inequality, and more recently its dual, have been applied many times to the study of arithmetic functions. For an overview of some applications we refer to [2]; a complete catalogue of the applications of the inequality (1) would already be very large. For some applications of the dual of (1) see [3], [4], and [1].

AbstractLet Sk(Γ) be the space of holomorphic cusp forms of even integral weight k for the full modular group SL(z, ℤ). Let be the n-th normalized Fourier coefficients of three distinct holomorphic primitive cusp forms , and h(z) ∊ Sk3 (Γ), respectively. In this paper we study the cancellations of sums related to arithmetic functions, such as twisted by the arithmetic function λf(n).

Recently Gioia and Subbarao [2] studied essentially the following problem: If g(n) is an arithmetic function, and , then what is the behaviour of H(a, n) defined for each fixed integer a ≥ 2 by1By using Vaidyanathaswamy′s formula [e.g., 1], they obtain an explicit formula for H(a, n) in case g(n) is positive and completely multiplicative (Formula 2.2 of [2]). However, Vaidyanathaswamy′s formula is unnecessary to the proof of this result, which indeed follows more simply without its use, by exploiting a simple idea used earlier by Subbarao [3] (referred to also in the course of [2]).

This paper provides a mean value theorem for arithmetic functions [Formula: see text] defined by [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is an arithmetic function taking values in [Formula: see text] and satisfying some generic conditions. As an application of our main result, we prove that the density [Formula: see text] (respectively, [Formula: see text]) of normal (respectively, primitive) elements in the finite field extension [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] are arithmetic functions of (nonzero) mean values.
