The main purpose of this paper is to define a new additive arithmetic function related to a fixed integer k\geq 1 and to study some of its properties. This function is given by \begin{equation*} \ f_{k}\left( 1\right) =0\text{ and }f_{k}\left( n\right) =\sum_{p^{\alpha}\parallel n}\left( k,\alpha \right) , \end{equation*} such that (a, b) denotes the greatest common divisor of the integers a and b.
In this paper, we obtain asymptotic formula on the "hyperbolic" summation \begin{equation*} \underset{mn\leq x}{\sum }D_{k}\left( \gcd \left( m,n\right) \right) \text{ \ \ }\left( k\in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 2}\right), \end{equation*} such that $D_{k}\left( n\right) = \dfrac{\tau _{k}\left( n\right) }{\tau_{k}^{\ast }\left( n\right) }$, where $\tau _{k}\left( n\right) =\!\!\sum\limits_{n_{1}n_{2}\ldots n_{k}=n}\!\!1$ denotes the Piltz divisor function, and $\tau _{k}^{\ast }\left( n\right) $ is the unitary analogue function of $\tau _{k}\left( n\right) $.
The gcd-sum function is one of the most important functions that has been studied by many researchers in recent years (Broughan, Bordellès, etc.). The gcd-sum function appears in a specific lattice point problem, where it can be used to estimate the number of integer coordinate points under the square root curve. In this paper, we give an average order of the gcd-sum function over the set of squares.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
