The fractional sum of small arithmetic functions

Number Theory 2021-06-29 v1

Abstract

Motivated by recent results, we study sums of the form Sf(x)=nxf(xn)S_f(x) = \sum_{n\leq x} f\left(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{n}\right\rfloor \right), where ff is an arithmetic function and \left\lfloor\cdot\right\rfloor denotes the greatest integer function. We show how the error term in the asymptotic formula for Sf(x)S_f(x) can be improved in some specific cases.
