China E-mail: huanle1017@163.com Abstract The main purpose of this paper is using the elementary method to study the hybrid mean value properties of the Smarandache kn digital sequence with SL(n) function and divisor function d(n), then give two interesting asymptotic formulae for it.

Keywords Smarandache kn digital sequence, SL(n) function, divisor function, hybrid mean value, asymptotic formula.

§1. Introduction and results For any positive integer k, the famous Smarandache kn-digital sequence a(k, n) is defined as all positive integers which can be partitioned into two groups such that the second part is k times bigger than the first. For example, Smarandache 3n digital sequences a(3, n) is defined as {a(3, n)} = {13, 26, 39, 412, 515, 618, 721, 824, · · · }, for example, a(3, 15) = 1545. In the reference [1], Professor F. Smarandache asked us to study the properties of a(k, n), about this problem, many people have studied and obtained many meaningful results. In [2], Lu Xiaoping studied the mean value of this sequence and gave the following theorem: X n≤N

9 n = · ln N + O(1). a(5, n) 50 ln 10

In [3], Gou Su studied the hybrid mean value of Smarandache kn sequence and divisor function σ(n), and gave the following theorem: X σ(n) 3π 2 = · ln x + O(1), a(k, n) k · 20 · ln 10

n≤x

where 1 ≤ k ≤ 9.

Inspired by the above conclusions, in this paper, we study the hybrid mean value properties of the Smarandache kn-digital sequence with SL(n) function and divisor function d(n), where 1 This work is supported by Scientific Research Program Funded by Shaanxi Provincial Education Department(No. 11JK0470).

§3. Proof of the theorems In this section, we shall use the elementary and combinational methods to complete the proof of our theorems. We just prove the case of k = 3 and k = 5, for other positive integers we can use the similar methods.

Similar to the proof of theorem 1.1, we can immediately prove theorem 1.2, we don’t repeated here. As the promotion of this article, we can consider the hybrid mean value of Smarandache kn sequence with other functions such as SL∗ (n), Sdf (n), σ(S(n)), Ω(S ∗ (n)), and obtain the corresponding asymptotic formula.
