Abstract

For any positive integer n, the Smarandache triple factorial function d3f (n) is defined to be the smallest integer such that d3f (n)!!! is a multiple of n. In this paper, we study the hybrid mean value of the Smarandache triple factorial function and the Mangoldt function, and give a sharp asymptotic formula.

§1. Introduction According to [1], for any positive integer n, the Smarandache triple factorial function d3f (n) is defined to be the smallest integer such that d3f (n)!!! is a multiple of n. About this problem, we know very little. The problem is interesting because it can help us to calculate the Smarandache function. In this paper, we study the hybrid mean value of the Smarandache triple factorial function and the Mangoldt function, and give a sharp asymptotic formula. That is, we shall prove the following theorems. Theorem 1. If x ≥ 2, then for any positive integer k we have X
