Stoll, Michael Asymptotics of some number theoretic functions and an application to the growth of nilpotent groups. (English) Zbl 1112.11307 Bonner Mathematische Schriften 266. Bonn: Univ. Bonn. 67 S. (1994). This is the author’s doctoral dissertation studying the asymptotic behavior of \(T(n)\), the number of lattice points in the region \(R(n)=\bigcup_ {a+b+c=n}\{[-ab,ab]\times [-ac,ac]\}\) where the union is taken over positive integers \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\), with sum \(n\). The author obtains the estimate \(T(n)=\frac 18n^ 4-Cn^ {8/3}+o(n^ {8/3})\), where \(C\) is a positive constant. The proof involves Fourier techniques, Hardy-Littlewood type dissection of the unit interval, and an estimate of Salié for Kloosterman sums.
