Abstract

Let k1k\geq 1 be an integer. Let δk(n)\delta_k(n) denote the maximum divisor of nn which is co-prime to kk. We study the error term of the general mm-th Riesz mean of the arithmetical function δk(n)\delta_k(n) for any positive integer m1m \ge 1, namely the error term Em(x)E_m(x) where 1m!nxδk(n)(1nx)m=Mm,k(x)+Em,k(x). \frac{1}{m!}\sum_{n \leq x}\delta_k(n) \left( 1-\frac{n}{x} \right)^m = M_{m, k}(x) + E_{m, k}(x). We establish a non-trivial upper bound for Em,k(x)\left | E_{m, k} (x) \right |, for any integer m1m\geq 1.
