The reviewer proved [Publ. Elektroteh. Fak., Univ. Beogr., Ser. Mat. 4, 45--50 (1993; Zbl 0813.11055)] a sharp asymptotic formula for the summatory function of \(\Bigl(1 + {\Omega(n)\over\omega(n)}\Bigr)^{\omega(n)}\), where \(\omega(n)\) denotes the number of distinct prime factors of \(n (\geq 2)\), while \(\Omega(n)\) denotes the number of all prime factors of \(n\). In the present paper the authors generalize this to the summatory function of \(f(n)(1 + {\Omega(n)\over\omega(n)})^{\omega(n)}\), where \(f(n)\) denotes a multiplicative function such that \(f(p) = A + B/p\) with \(A > 0, A + B/p > 0\) for every prime \(p\) and \(f(n) \ll n^{\varepsilon}\). They show that for an arbitrary fixed integer \(M \geq 1\) there exist constants \(C(A) > 0\) and \(A_1,\ldots,A_M\) such that \[ \begin{multlined} \sum_{n\leq x}f(n)\biggl(1 + {\Omega(n)\over\omega(n)}\biggr)^{\omega(n)} = C(A)x\log^{2A-1}x + \biggl({A_1\over\log\log x} + \ldots \\ + {A_M\over(\log\log x)^M}\biggr)x\log^{2A-1}x + O\Biggl( {x\log^{2A-1}x \over(\log\log x)^{M+1}}\Biggr) + O\Biggl(\sum_{n\leq x}|f(n)|\Biggr).\end{multlined} \] The key ingredient in the proof is the asymptotic formula for the summatory function of \[ f(n)c^{\omega(n)}d^{\Omega(n)-\omega(n)} ({\Omega(n)-\omega(n)})^r\omega(n)^{-k} \] for fixed reals \(c\), \(0 \leq d < 2\) and integers \(r,k \geq 0\). This formula generalizes another result of the reviewer [\textit{A. Ivić}, Publ. Inst. Math., Nouv. Ser. 41(55), 31--41 (1987; Zbl 0648.10028)].
