On the reciprocal sum of lcm of \(k\)-tuples (Q2153902)

Let \(x\geqslant 2\), let \([n_1,n_2,\ldots,n_k]\) denote the least common multiple of \(k\)-tuple of positive integers \(n_1,n_2,\ldots,n_k\), and let \[ S_k(x)=\sum_{n_1,n_2,\ldots,n_k\leqslant x}\frac{1}{[n_1,n_2,\ldots,n_k]}. \] The author of the paper proves that \[ S_k(x)=P_{2^k-1}(\log x)+O\big(x^{-\theta_k+\varepsilon}\big), \] where where \(P_{2^k-1}\) is a polynomial of degree \(2^k-1\), \(\varepsilon\) is an arbitrary positive constant, and \[ \theta_k=\frac{2^k}{(k+1)^{(k+1)/2}}\cdot\frac{1}{2^k+6k-5}. \] Asymptotic formulas for similar sums are also derived together with the analysis of leading coefficients of the resulting polynomials.
