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.

There are real life situations in our lives where the things are changing continuously or from time to time. It is a very important problem for one whether to continue the existing relationship or to form a new one after some occasions. That is, people, companies, cities, countries, etc. may change their opinion or position rapidly. In this work, we think of the problem of changing relationships from a mathematical point of view and think of an answer. In some sense, we comment these changes as power changes. Our number theoretical model will be based on this idea. Using the convolution sum of the restricted divisor function E, we obtain the answer to this problem.
