We attempt to discuss a new circle problem. Let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D701}(s)$ denote the Riemann zeta-function $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }n^{-s}$ ( $\text{Re}\,s>1$ ) and $L(s,\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}_{4})$ the Dirichlet $L$ -function $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}_{4}(n)n^{-s}$ ( $\text{Re}\,s>1$ ) with the primitive Dirichlet character mod 4. We shall define an arithmetical function $R_{(1,1)}(n)$ by the coefficient of the Dirichlet series $\unicode[STIX]{x1D701}^{\prime }(s)L^{\prime }(s,\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}_{4})=\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }R_{(1,1)}(n)n^{-s}$ $(\text{Re}\,s>1)$ . This is an analogue of $r(n)/4=\sum _{d|n}\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}_{4}(d)$ . In the circle problem, there are many researches of estimations and related topics on the error term in the asymptotic formula for $\sum _{n\leq x}r(n)$ . As a new problem, we deduce a ‘truncated Voronoï formula’ for the error term in the asymptotic formula for $\sum _{n\leq x}R_{(1,1)}(n)$ . As a direct application, we show the mean square for the error term in our new problem.
