In number theory, the divisor summatory function is a function that is a sum over the divisor function. It frequently occurs in the study of the asymptotic behaviour of the Riemann zeta function . The various studies of the behaviour of the divisor function are sometimes called divisor problems .
An average order of σ(n), the sum of divisors of n, is nπ 2 / 6; An average order of φ(n), Euler's totient function of n, is 6n / π 2; An average order of r(n), the number of ways of expressing n as a sum of two squares, is π; The average order of representations of a natural number as a sum of three squares is 4πn / 3;
An average order of an arithmetic function is some simpler or better-understood function which has the same summation function asymptotically, and hence takes the same values "on average". We say that g is an average order of f if ∑ n ≤ x f ( n ) ∼ ∑ n ≤ x g ( n ) {\displaystyle \sum _{n\leq x}f(n)\sim \sum _{n\leq x}g(n)}
In number theory, the gcd-sum function, [1] also called Pillai's arithmetical function, [1] is defined for every by P ( n ) = ∑ k = 1 n gcd ( k , n ) {\displaystyle P(n)=\sum _{k=1}^{n}\gcd(k,n)} or equivalently [ 1 ]
Divisor function σ 0 (n) up to n = 250 Sigma function σ 1 (n) up to n = 250 Sum of the squares of divisors, σ 2 (n), up to n = 250 Sum of cubes of divisors, σ 3 (n) up to n = 250. In mathematics, and specifically in number theory, a divisor function is an arithmetic function related to the divisors of an integer.
In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total.Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.
In order to calculate the average and standard deviation from aggregate data, it is necessary to have available for each group: the total of values (Σx i = SUM(x)), the number of values (N=COUNT(x)) and the total of squares of the values (Σx i 2 =SUM(x 2)) of each groups.
In mathematics, summation by parts transforms the summation of products of sequences into other summations, often simplifying the computation or (especially) estimation of certain types of sums. It is also called Abel's lemma or Abel transformation , named after Niels Henrik Abel who introduced it in 1826.
