On certain integrals involving the Dirichlet divisor problem

Abstract

We prove that $$ \int_1^X\Delta(x)\Delta_3(x)dx \ll X^{13/9}\log^{10/3}X, \qquad \int_1^X\Delta(x)\Delta_4(x)\d x \ll_\varepsilon X^{25/16+\varepsilon}, $$ where $\Delta_k(x)$ is the error term in the asymptotic formula for the summatory function of $d_k(n)$, generated by $\zeta^k(s)$ ($\Delta_2(x) \equiv \Delta(x)$). These bounds are sharper than the ones which follow by the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and mean square results for $\Delta_k(x)$. We also obtain the analogues of the above bounds when $\Delta(x)$ is replaced by $E(x)$, the error term in the mean square formula for $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$.
