Many different families of infinite series were recently observed to be summable in closed forms by means of certain operators of fractional calculus(that is, calculus of integrals and derivatives of any arbitrary real or complex order). In this sequel to some of these recent investigations, the authors present yet another instance of applications of certain fractional calculus operators. Alternative derivations without using these fractional calculus operators are shown to lead naturally a family of analogous infinite sums involving hypergeometric functions.

Let $m,n{\in}{\mathbb{N}}$. We represent the additive subgroups of the ring ${\mathbb{Z}}_m{\times}{\mathbb{Z}}_n$, which are also (unital) subrings, and deduce explicit formulas for $N^{(s)}(m,n)$ and $N^{(us)}(m,n)$, denoting the number of subrings of the ring ${\mathbb{Z}}_m{\times}{\mathbb{Z}}_n$ and its unital subrings, respectively. We show that the functions $(m,n){\mapsto}N^{u,s}(m,n)$ and $(m,n){\mapsto}N^{(us)}(m,n)$ are multiplicative, viewed as functions of two variables, and their Dirichlet series can be expressed in terms of the Riemann zeta function. We also establish an asymptotic formula for the sum $\sum_{m,n{\leq}x}N^{(s)}(m,n)$, the error term of which is closely related to the Dirichlet divisor problem.
