Hyperbolic summation for functions of the GCD and LCM of several integers

Abstract

Let $k\ge 2$ be a fixed integer. We consider sums of type $\sum_{n_1\cdots n_k\le x} F(n_1,\ldots,n_k)$, taken over the hyperbolic region $\{(n_1,\ldots,n_k)\in {\Bbb N}^k: n_1\cdots n_k\le x\}$, where $F:{\Bbb N}^k\to {\Bbb C}$ is a given function. In particular, we deduce asymptotic formulas with remainder terms for the hyperbolic summations $\sum_{n_1\cdots n_k\le x} f((n_1,\ldots,n_k))$ and $\sum_{n_1\cdots n_k\le x} f([n_1,\ldots,n_k])$, involving the GCD and LCM of the integers $n_1,\ldots,n_k$, where $f:{\Bbb N}\to {\Bbb C}$ belongs to certain classes of functions. Some of our results generalize those obtained by the authors for $k=2$.
