On the Density of Ranges of Generalized Divisor Functions with Restricted Domains

Abstract: We begin by defining functions

s i g m a_{t, k}

, which are generalized divisor functions with restricted domains. For each positive integer

k

, we show that, for

r > 1

, the range of

s i g m a_{- r, k}

is a subset of the interval

d i s p l a y s t y l e l e f t [1, f r a c z e t a (r) z e t a ((k + 1) r) i g h t)

. After some work, we define constants

e t a_{k}

which satisfy the following: If

k i n m a t h b b N

and

r > 1

, then the range of the function

s i g m a_{- r, k}

is dense in

d i s p l a y s t y l e l e f t [1, f r a c z e t a (r) z e t a ((k + 1) r) i g h t)

if and only if

r l e q e t a_{k}

. We end with an open problem.
