Certain floor function sums over powers

Number Theory 2022-08-12 v1

Abstract

We study the sums Sf(x)=nxf(xn) S_f(x) = \sum_{n\leq x} f\left(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{n}\right\rfloor\right) when ff is supported on rrth powers with r2r\geq 2. This restriction allows us to give nontrivial estimates for one of the error terms in the asymptotic expansion of Sf(x)S_f(x). We also state several conjectures related to our results.
