Abstract

Let j1j \ge1, k0k\ge 0 be real numbers and φ(n)\varphi(n) be the Euler function. In this paper, we study the asymptotical behaviour of the summation function Sj,k(x):=nxφ([xn]j)[xn]kS_{j,k}(x):=\sum_{n\le x}\frac{\varphi\left ( \left [ \frac{x}{n} \right ]^{j} \right ) }{\left [ \frac{x}{n} \right ]^{k} } as xx\to \infty , where []\left [ \cdot \right ] is the integral part function. Our results combine and generalize the recent work of Zhai, Wu and Ma.

Comments

During subsequent research, it has been identified that there is a logical flaw in Lemma 2.6 of this paper. Specifically, this flaw has led to errors in the derivation process of the theorem, which may render the conclusion invalid
