Problem 561: Divisor Pairs

Mathematical Foundation

Definition. For a positive integer $n$, let $\tau(n) = \sum_{d \mid n} 1$ denote the number of positive divisors of $n$, and let $[P]$ denote the Iverson bracket of a predicate $P$.

Theorem 1 (Reduction to the Divisor Function). For every positive integer $n$,

Proof. The map $d \mapsto n/d$ is an involution on the divisor set $D(n) = \{d \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0} : d \mid n\}$. This involution partitions $D(n)$ into:

• Transposed pairs $\{d, n/d\}$ with $d < n/d$, i.e., $d < \sqrt{n}$, and
• A fixed point $\{d\}$ when $d = n/d$, i.e., $n = d^2$.

Each transposed pair $\{d, n/d\}$ contributes exactly one ordered pair $(d, n/d)$ with $d < n/d \le n/d$. The fixed point, when it exists, contributes the pair $(d, d)$. Therefore

where the last equality follows because $\tau(n)$ is odd if and only if $n$ is a perfect square. $\square$

Lemma 1 (Summatory Reduction). We have

Proof. Summing Theorem 1 over $n = 1, \ldots, N$:

The count of perfect squares in $\{1, \ldots, N\}$ is $\lfloor \sqrt{N} \rfloor$. $\square$

Theorem 2 (Dirichlet Hyperbola Method). For any positive integer $N$ with $M = \lfloor \sqrt{N} \rfloor$,

Proof. Since $\tau(n) = \sum_{d \mid n} 1$, we have

Partition the lattice points $(a, b)$ under the hyperbola $ab = N$ into three regions:

• $R_1 = \{(a, b) : a \le M,\; b \le N/a\}$,
• $R_2 = \{(a, b) : b \le M,\; a \le N/b\}$,
• $R_{12} = \{(a, b) : a \le M,\; b \le M\}$.

By symmetry $|R_1| = |R_2| = \sum_{d=1}^{M} \lfloor N/d \rfloor$, and $|R_{12}| = M^2$. Since $R_1 \cup R_2$ covers all lattice points under the hyperbola and $R_1 \cap R_2 = R_{12}$, inclusion-exclusion gives

Theorem 3 (Block Decomposition for $\sum \lfloor N/d \rfloor$). The sum $\sum_{d=1}^{M} \lfloor N/d \rfloor$ can be evaluated in $O(\sqrt{N})$ arithmetic operations.

Proof. For each value $q = \lfloor N/d \rfloor$, the set of indices $d$ yielding this quotient forms a contiguous block $\{d_{\min}, \ldots, d_{\max}\}$ where $d_{\max} = \min(\lfloor N/q \rfloor, M)$. The contribution of this block is $q \cdot (d_{\max} - d_{\min} + 1)$, computable in $O(1)$.

It remains to bound the number of distinct quotients. If $d \le \sqrt{N}$, then $d$ itself ranges over at most $\sqrt{N}$ values. If $d > \sqrt{N}$, then $q = \lfloor N/d \rfloor < \sqrt{N}$, so $q$ takes at most $\sqrt{N}$ values. Hence there are at most $2\sqrt{N}$ distinct quotients in total, and the block decomposition runs in $O(\sqrt{N})$ time. $\square$

Corollary. Combining Lemma 1, Theorem 2, and Theorem 3, $S(N)$ is computable in $O(\sqrt{N})$ time and $O(1)$ space.

Editorial

Compute S(N) = sum_{n=1}^{N} Pairs(n), where Pairs(n) = ceil(tau(n)/2). By Lemma 1: S(N) = (sum_tau + floor(sqrt(N))) / 2. By the Dirichlet hyperbola method: sum_tau = 2 * T - M^2, where T = sum_{d=1}^{M} floor(N/d) and M = floor(sqrt(N)). T is evaluated in O(sqrt(N)) via block decomposition of floor(N/d).

Pseudocode

    M = floor(sqrt(N))
    T = 0
    d = 1
    While d <= M:
        q = floor(N / d)
        d_max = min(floor(N / q), M)
        T += q * (d_max - d + 1)
        d = d_max + 1
    sum_tau = 2 * T - M * M
    Return (sum_tau + M) / 2

Complexity Analysis

• Time: $O(\sqrt{N})$. The block decomposition iterates over $O(\sqrt{N})$ distinct quotient values, each processed in $O(1)$.
• Space: $O(1)$. Only a constant number of integer variables are maintained.
