Multiplicative Structure of Values of the Euler Function
(2004)
We establish upper bounds for the number of smooth values of the Euler function. In particular, although the Euler function has
a certain “smoothing” effect on its integer arguments, our results show that, in fact, most ...
On the average value of divisor sums in arithmetic progressions
(2005)
We consider very short sums of the divisor function in arithmetic progressions prime to a fixed modulus and show that "on average" these sums are close to the expected value. We also give applications of our result to sums ...
Simulation and optimization of low impact development for mitigating combined sewer overflows associated with climate change
