Abstract:
Let $P(x)$ and $P_3(x)$ be the error terms in the Gaussian circle problem and the sphere problem, respectively.
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the sums
$$
\sum_{\substack{k\le x\\k\equiv0\!\!\!\pmod p}}P(k),\quad\sum_{\substack{k\le x\\k\equiv0\!\!\!\pmod p}}P_3(k).
$$
Here $p\ge2$ is a prime number.
Key words and phrases:Gaussian circle problem, sphere problem, asymptotic behavior.
