Certain asymptotic formulas in analytic number theory for arithmetic functions that can be stated as answers to problems on the number of integral points (cf. Integral point) in some manifolds, in the first instance, in homothetically-extending domains in the space .

Here the circle problem (C.F. Gauss) and the divisor problems (P.G.L. Dirichlet) are classical (starting points) as well as their numerous generalizations.

Integral points are also called lattice points.
