Abstract

Let α\alpha and β\beta be two nonnegative integers such that β<α\beta < \alpha. For an arbitrary sequence {an}n1\{a_n\}_{n\geqslant 1} of complex numbers, we consider the generalized Lambert series in order to investigate linear combinations of the form k1S(αkβ,n)ak\sum_{k\geqslant 1} S(\alpha k-\beta,n) a_k, where S(k,n)S(k,n) is the total number of non-overlined parts equal to kk in all the overpartitions of nn. The general nature of the numbers ana_n allows us to provide connections between overpartitions and functions from multiplicative number theory.
