Abstract: We unify in a large class of additive functions the results obtained in the first part of this work. The proof rests on series involving the Riemann zeta function and certain sums of primes which may have their own interest.


Let \(f\) be a real-valued additive arithmetic function satisfying the following requirements: (i) For primes \(p\), \(f(p)=\lambda_1 p^r\) with \(\lambda_1\ge 0\) and \(r\in\mathbb{N}_0=\{0,1,2,\ldots\}\). (ii) There exists a function \(g_l:\{2,3,\ldots\}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) such that \(|g_l(\alpha)|\le C_l\alpha^l\) and \[ f\big(p^\alpha\big)-f\big(p^{\alpha-1}\big)=\lambda_2p^s\,g_l(\alpha) \] for all primes \(p\) and all degrees \(\alpha\ge 2\), where \(C_l\ge 0\), \(\lambda_2\ge 0\), \(l\in\mathbb{N}_0\), \(s\in\mathbb{N}_0\). The authors of the present paper derive a series of asymptotic results for sums of of the form \[ \sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_k\le x}f\big((n_1,\ldots,n_k)\big), \] where function \(f\) satisfies the above requirements. Both the main and residual terms in the resulting formulas depend on the parameters \(r,s,l, \lambda_1,\lambda_2\) defining the properties of the function \(f\). Some new results are also obtained on series related to the Riemann zeta function and on sums of certain fractional parts.
