Abstract
We examine oscillations in a number of sums of arithmetic functions involving , the total number of prime factors of , and , the number of distinct prime factors of . In particular, we examine oscillations in and in for , and in . We show for example that each of the inequalities , , , and is true infinitely often, disproving some hypotheses of Sun.
