A sequence of distributions related to the divisor function (Q2257485): Difference between revisions

Let \(f:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow [0,\infty)\) be a multiplicative function, and let \[ g_f(m) =\frac{1}{\sum\limits_{d|m,\;d\leq m}f(d)} \] for each natural number \(m\). A multiplicative function \(f\) belongs to the class \(\mathcal{M}(\alpha)\) with \(\alpha\in[0,1]\) if there exist constants \(c_1>0\), \(c_2\in(0,1/2]\), \(c_3\geq0\) and \(\delta>0\) such that: {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize}\item[{\(\bullet\)}] \(g_f(p^k)\leq c_1\) for all prime powers \(p^k\), \item[{\(\bullet\)}] the function \[ \sum\limits_{p}\frac{g_f(p)-\alpha}{p^s},\;s=\sigma+\text{i}\tau,\;\sigma>1, \] has an analytic continuation \(P(s)\) to the region \( \sigma\geq 1-{c_2}/{\log(|\tau|+3)}\), \item[{\(\bullet\)}] \(|P(s)|\leq\delta\log(|\tau|+1) +c_3\) in this region. \end{itemize}} The authors describe all possible limit distributions for distribution functions \[ F_n(t)=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{m\leq n}g_f(m)\sum\limits_{d|m,\;d\leq m^t}f(d) \] in the case when the multiplicative function \(f\) belongs to the class \(\mathcal{M}(\alpha)\). In addition, the estimates are obtained for the distance between \(F_n(t)\) and the suitable limit distribution function.
