Abstract

Let xx be a real number satisfying x2x \geq 2. For any positive integer nn, we define s(n)s(n) as the smallest non-negative integer such that n+s(n)n + s(n) is a perfect square. In this paper, we derive an asymptotic formula for the sum \begin{equation*} \sum_{n \leq x} D(n + s(n)), \end{equation*} where \begin{equation*} D(n) = \frac{\tau(n)}{2^{\omega(n)}}. \end{equation*} Here, τ(n)\tau(n) denotes the number of positive divisors of nn, and ω(n)\omega(n) stands for the number of distinct prime factors of nn.
