Abstract
Denote by a finite group and by the sum of element orders in . If is a positive integer, denote by the cyclic group of order and write . In this paper we proved the following Theorem A: Let be a non-cyclic group of odd order , where is the smallest prime divisor of and . Then the following statements hold. (1) If , then , and equality holds if and only if with and , with non-abelian. (2) If , then , where is the smallest prime bigger than and equality holds if and only if with and .
