Abstract

Denote by k (n), (n) and 2 (n) the number of representations of n as product of k natural numbers, the number of distinct prime factors of n and the characteristic function of the square-free integers, respectively. Let [t] be the integral part of real number t. For f = , 2 , 2 , k , we prove that n x f x n = x d 1 f (d) d(d + 1) + O (x f +) for x , where = 53 110 , 2 = 9 19 , 2 = 2 5 , k = 5k--1 10k--1 and > 0 is an arbitrarily small positive number. These improve the corresponding results of Bordell{è}s.
