Abstract: Given a multiplicative function $f$ which is periodic over the primes, we obtain a full asymptotic expansion for the shifted convolution sum $su{m}_{|h|<nleqx}f(n)au(n-h)$, where $au$ denotes the divisor function and $hinmathbbZsetminus0$. We consider in particular the special cases where $f$ is the generalized divisor function $a{u}_z$ with $zinmathbbC$, and the characteristic function of sums of two squares (or more generally, ideal norms of abelian extensions). As another application, we deduce a full asymptotic expansion in the generalized Titchmarsh divisor problem $su{m}_{|h|<nleqx,,omega(n)=k}au(n-h)$, where $omega(n)$ counts the number of distinct prime divisors of $n$, thus extending a result of Fouvry and Bombieri-Friedlander-Iwaniec. We present two different proofs: The first relies on an effective combinatorial formula of Heath-Brown's type for the divisor function $a{u}_{a}lpha$ with $alphainmathbbQ$, and an interpolation argument in the $z$-variable for weighted mean values of $a{u}_z$. The second is based on an identity of Linnik type for $a{u}_z$ and the well-factorability of friable numbers.
