An upper bound for the norm of a GCD-related matrix

Abstract

We find an upper bound for the norm of the matrix whose entry is, where and are the greatest common divisor and the least common multiple of and and where and are real numbers. In fact, we show that if and, then for all positive integers, where is the Riemann zeta function.
