Abstract

When restricted to some non-negative multiplicative function, say f, bounded on primes and that vanishes on non square-free integers, our result provides us with an asymptotic for nXf(n)/n\sum_{n \le X}f(n)/n with error term O((logX)κh1+ε)O((\log X)^{\kappa-h-1+\varepsilon}) (for any positive ε>0\varepsilon>0) as soon as we have pQf(p)(logp)/p=κlogQ+η+O(1/(log2Q)h)\sum_{p\le Q}f(p)(\log p)/p=\kappa\log Q+\eta+O(1/(\log2Q)^h) for a non-negative κ\kappa and some non-negative integer hh. The method generalizes the 1967-approach of Levin and Fainleib and uses a differential equation.
