Abstract

Let 1<c<2. For m, n \in \mathbb{N}, a lattice point (m, n) is powerful if and only if \gcd(m, n) is a powerful number, where \gcd(*, *) is the greatest common divisor function. In this paper, we count the number of the ordered pairs (m,n)m, n \leq x such that the lattice point (\left\lfloor m^c \right\rfloor, \left\lfloor n^c \right\rfloor) is powerful. Moreover, we study r-free lattice points analogues of powerful lattice points.
