On the average number of divisors of quadratic polynomials
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
Let d(n) denote the number of positive divisors of n, and let f(x) be a polynomial in x with integer coefficients, irreducible over ℤ. Erdös[3] showed that there exist constants λ1, λ2 (depending on f) such that
