abstract

After the work of Bordell\`{e}s, Dai, Heyman, Pan and Shparlinki (2018) and Heyman (2019), several authors studied the averages of arithmetic functions over the sequence $[x/n]$ and the integers of the form $[x/n]$. In this paper, we give three remarks on this topic. Firstly, we improve the result of Wu and Yu (2022) on the distribution of the integers of the form $[x/n]$ in arithmetic progressions by using a variant of Dirichlet's hyperbola method. Secondly, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primitive lattice points with coordinates of the form $[x/n]$, for which we introduce a certain averaging trick. Thirdly, we study a certain "multiplicative" analog of the Titchmarsh divisor problem. We derive asymptotic formulas for such "multiplicative" Titchmarsh divisor problems for "small" arithmetic functions and the Euler totient function with the von Mangoldt function. However, it turns out that the average of the Euler totient function over the $[x/p]$-sequence seems rather difficult and we propose a hypothetical asymptotic formula for this average.
