Asymptotic estimates for a class of summatory functions (Q1267305): Difference between revisions

The authors prove asymptotic formulae with [rather] sharp remainder terms for arithmetical functions \( n \mapsto a(n) \), representable as a Dirichlet convolution \( a = 1 \ast v \). Under suitable assumptions there is an asymptotic formula \[ \sum_{n \leq x} a(n) = L \cdot x + x^{1 - \gamma \over r} \cdot \sum^R_0 {\mathcal B}_m \cdot (\log x)^{\alpha - m - \rho} - \sum_{n \leq y} v(n) \cdot \psi\left( {x \over n} \right) + \text{ error term.} \] Moreover, formulae for \( \sum_{n \leq x} n^\beta \cdot a(n) \), and for the mean \( {1 \over x} \cdot \sum_{n \leq x} {\mathcal E}(n) \) of the error term are given. The main result is applicable, for example, if the arithmetical function \( a \) is defined by the generating Dirichlet series \[ \sum_1^\infty {a(n) \over n^s} = \zeta(s) \cdot \xi(rs+\gamma) \cdot f(rs+\gamma), \] with the abbreviation \(\xi(s) = \zeta^{\alpha_1}(s) \cdot L^{\alpha_2} (s, \chi_2) \cdots L^{\alpha_n} (s, \chi_n)\), where \( r > 0 \) is an integer, \( 1 - r < \gamma \leq 1 \), \( \alpha_i \in {\mathbb C} \), and the \( \chi \) are non-principal characters \(\text{mod }m\), and \( f(rs+\gamma) = \sum {b_n \over n^s} \) is a Dirichlet series with abscissa of absolute convergence \( < {1 - \gamma \over r} \).
