Abstract
1. Summary. In Part II we study arithmetic functions whose Dirichlet series satisfy a rather general type of functional equation. For the logarithmic Riesz mean of these functions we give a representation involving finite trigonometric sums. An essential tool here is the saddle point method. Estimation of the exponential sums in the special case of the circle problem will be the topic of Part III.
