Abstract
In this paper, I utilize a variant of the Selberg--Delange method to find quantitative estimates of the sums where can grow with but we must have with . Moreover, I give preliminary upper bounds for the general range . In addition, I formalize the notions of subradical and radical dominance and discuss their relevance to the analytic approach of the study of arithmetic functions. Lastly, I give a fascinating formula related to the derivatives of the gamma function and the Hankel contour, which should be relevant for those employing the Selberg--Delange method to obtain higher-order terms.
