Function that dominates everything in little o

Assume that $f(n)=o(n^{-2})$. Then $g(n):=n^{-1}\sqrt{f(n)}=o(n^{-2})$, so $f(n)=\Omega(g(n))$, so $\sqrt{f(n)}=\Omega(n^{-1})$, so $f(n)=\Omega(n^{-2})$, a contradiction. This proves that $f(n)=\Omeg …

Tricky (for me) limit

We have $f(\gamma,\beta)=0$ for every $\gamma>0$ and $\beta\in\mathbb{R}$. Indeed, $1-\gamma^{1/x}$ is asymptotically $(\log\gamma)/x$, and $(\log x)^\beta/x$ tends to zero for any $\beta\in\mathbb{R} …

Asymptotics for sums of powers of divisor function

Yes, these are standard things in analytic number theory. We have $$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{\tau(n)^k}{n^s}=\zeta(s)^{2^k}F_k(s),\qquad\Re(s)>1,$$ where $F_k(s)$ is an explicit Dirichlet series that c …

Determining the asymptotic behavior of a series

This is my third response. I claim that for $0 < t < 1$ we have the uniform bounds $$ \liminf_{n\to\infty}\ nt f_n(t) = \frac{-1}{\log\mu}+O(1),$$ $$ \limsup_{n\to\infty}\ nt f_n(t) = \frac{-1}{\log\m …

Is there a "convolution" of asymptotic growth?

$F(H)$ and $G(H)$ do not determine the asymptotic growth of the third display. Indeed, consider the following two functions from $\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ to $\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$: $$ f(x):=\begin{cases}0 …

Probability of large gcd

The statement is true in the stronger form that $$\Pr[\gcd(t, N)>N^{3/4}] < N^{-1/2}.$$ Indeed, the probability that $\gcd(t,N)$ equals a given $k\mid N$ is at most $1/k$. For $k>N^{3/4}$, this is les …

Asymptotic behavior of an integral depending on an integer

This is an improvement of my previous post. I claim that $$4\pi n-6\pi<f(n)<4\pi n-2\pi.$$ Starting from $$f(n)-2\pi(n-1)=\int_0^\infty \log\left(\frac{1+t}{2}+\frac{1+t}{2}\left(\frac{1-t}{1+t}\right …

Estimate related to the Möbius function

You can derive a very precise asymptotic expansion of your quantity by the Selberg-Delange method. I recommend that you adapt, to your situation, the arguments of Section II.6.1 of Tenenbaum: Introd …

Asymptotic estimate for an integral involving the squared modulus of the Riemann zeta function

Let us introduce the notation $$M(T):=\int_0^T|\zeta(\sigma+it)|^2\,dt.$$ Then $$\int_0^T \frac{|\zeta(\sigma+it)|^2}{\sqrt{1+t^2}} \,dt=\int_0^T\frac{dM(t)}{\sqrt{1+t^2}}=\frac{M(T)}{\sqrt{1+T^2}}+\i …

Sum over reciprocal of primes times coefficient

The sum in question equals \begin{align*}\sum_{p\leq x}\frac{1}{p^{1+2/\log x}}\left(\frac{\log\left(x/p\right)}{\log(x)}\right)^2 &=\sum_{p\leq x}\frac{1}{p}e^{-2\frac{\log p}{\log x}}\left(1-\frac{\ …

Mellin transform at $0$

By definition, $\tilde{f}(0)$ exists if and only if $\int_0^\infty f(x)/x\,dx$ exists. As $f(x)$ is smooth and supported on $[0,2]$, we have that that $$|f(x)|=\left|\int_0^x f'(t)\,dt\right|\leq x\su …

Asymptotics of "ugly" function elucidate Goldbach's conjecture?

Your sum can be rewritten as $$ D(N)=\sum_{n=1}^{N-1}d(n)d(N-n),$$ where $N=2c$, and $d(m)$ is the number of divisors of $m$. This is a so-called "binary additive divisor sum", and it has been studied …

Probability that a positive integer is in the range of the Euler phi function

See Erick Wong's response here. In particular, Kevin Ford proved (in more precise form) that $$ f(n) = \frac{n}{\log n} \exp\left(O(\log \log \log n)^2\right),$$ whence $f(n)/n$ tends to zero. The sam …

$n$th prime: a better approximation

You can find an in-depth answer to your question in this paper of de Reyna and Jeremy. See in particular (65)-(66) along with (30) and Theorem 4.9. See also Theorem 6.2.

The number of representations of an integer as the inner product of integral lattice points

The asymptotic formula is true for even dimensions $k\geq 2$. We can prove this by induction on $k$, inspired by Rodrigo's observation on Eisenstein series. The case $k=2$ is classical and addressed …
