An inequality related to a periodic function (Q810168)

Theorem. Let q:(0,\(\infty)\to {\mathbb{R}}\) be a periodic function with period \(a>0\), and of bounded variation on \([1,1+a].\) If f(n) and g(n) satisfy: f(n) is bounded; \(\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)\ll g(x);\) \(g(x)\nearrow \infty\) for \(x\to \infty\); \(g(x)=o(x),\) then \[ \sum_{n\leq x}f(n)q((x/n)^ k)\ll x^{k/(k+1)}\cdot (g(x))^{1/(k+1)} \] for any positive integer k. As an application, the author obtains an estimate for the sum \(\sum_{n\leq x}H(n),\) where \(H(n)=\max (a_ 1,...,a_ t)\) for \(n=p_ 1^{a_ 1}...p_ t^{a_ t}\) \((p_ i\) distinct primes), and \(H(1)=1.\) \{Reviewer's remark.
