On the Smarandache function and the -th roots of a positive integer 119
Li Hailong and Zhao Xiaopeng
Contents ix
On a dual of the Pseudo Smarandache Function and its Asymptotic Formula 123
Liu Duansen and Yang Cundian
Arithmetic is where numbers run across your mind looking for the answer.
Arithmetic is like numbers spinning in your head faster and faster until you blow up with the
answer.
KABOOM!!
Then you sit back down and begin the next problem.
(Alexander Nathanson)
Number theory is an ancient subject, but we still cannot answer many simplest and most natural
questions about the integers. Some old problems have been solved, but more arise. All the research
for these ancient or new problems implicated and are still promoting the development of number
theory and mathematics.
This book, Research on Smarandache Problems in Number Theory (Collected papers), contains 41
research papers involving the Smarandache sequences, functions, or problems and conjectures on
them.
All these papers are original. Some of them treat the mean value or hybrid mean value of
Smarandache type functions, like the famous Smarandache function, Smarandache ceil function, or
Smarandache primitive function. Others treat the mean value of some famous number theoretic
functions acting on the Smarandache sequences, like k-th root sequence, k-th complement sequence,
or factorial part sequence, etc. There are papers that study the convergent property of some infinite
series involving the Smarandache type sequences. Some of these sequences have been first
investigated too. In addition, new sequences as additive complement sequences are first studied in
several papers of this book.
Most authors of these papers are my students. After this chance, I hope they will be more interested
in the mysterious integer and number theory!
All the papers are supported by the N. S. F. of P. R. China (10271093). So I would like to thank the
Department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences of N. S. F. C.
I would also like to thank my students Xu Zhefeng and Zhang Xiaobeng for their careful typeset
and design works. My special gratitude is due to all contributors of this book for their great help to
the publication of their papers and their detailed comments and corrections.
More future papers by my students will focus on the Smarandache notions, such as sequences,
functions, constants, numbers, continued fractions, infinite products, series, etc. in number theory!

of the series

where is a generalized constructive number, and is any positive number.
Keywords: Generalized constructive set; Series; Convergent properties.

1. Introduction
;
The generalized constructive set is defined as: numbers Á formed
Á by digits
Ê
N \ E(N j E¯¯¯UE(N W only, all N being different each other, T C ¬ . That is to
say, ;
(1) N \ E(N j E¯¯¯UE(N W belong
; to
; ;
(2) If LXE belong to , then L belongs to too;
(3) Only elements ; obtained by rules (1) and (2) applied a finite number of
times belong to .
For example, the constructive set (of digits 1, 2) is : TE¤v5ETTETv5E¤v=TE¤v!v5ET!TTE
TTv5ETv=TETvv5E¤v=TTEVv=TUv5EVvv4TE¤v0vv=ET!TTTET!TT v5EUTTv4TE¯¯¯0^ And the constructive
set (of digits 1, 2, 3) is : TE¤v5E¤x5ETTETv5ETx5E¤vTE¤v!v5EVvx=E¤x=TE¤x!v5Eqxx=ETT!TEUTTUv5ET0Tx=E
Tv=TETvv5ETvx5E¤v=TTEVv=TUv5EVv=TUx5E¤v0v=TE¤v!vv5EVvv!x5EU¯¯¯0^ In problem 6, 7 and 8 of ref-
erence [1], Professor F.Smarandache asked us to study the properties of this
sequence. About this problem, it seems that no one had studied it before. For
convenience, we denote this sequence by °UL H ± . In this paper, we shall use the
elementary methods to study the convergent properties of the series

2. Proof of the Theorems
In this section, we shall complete the proof of the Theorems. ¸ First we prove
Theorem 1. Note that for ATE¤v5E¤x5E¯¯¯,E there are C numbers of digits in
the generalized constructive sequence, so we have

where we have used the fact that the series
Ze ¸
C \
É ¸
¸ T ½ \) |
\
is convergent only if its common proportion \ W ÂYTE that is } Ý pÏÐ C . This
completes the proof of the Theorem 1. ê
Now we come to prove Theorem 2.

1. Introduction
For any positive integer bv , one can obtains the -th power free sieve se-
½
quence as follows:
¸ from the set of natural numbers
¸ (except and T ), take off all
multiples of v , afterwards all multiples of x , ¯¯¯ , and so on (take off all multi-
ples of all -th power primes). In problem x=T of [1], Professor F.Smarandache
let us to study this sequence. Let ¸ denotes the set of all numbers in the -th
power free sieve sequence. In this paper, we study the convergent property of
some infinite series invovling this sequence, and give some interesting identi-
ties. That is, we shall prove the following conclusions:
Theorem 1. Let bDv be any positive integer. For any real number } ݣT ,
we have the identity:

where â,? denotes the Riemann-zeta function.

From this Theorem we may immediately deduce the following:

To complete the proof of the theorem, we need the following lemmas:

ON SOME ASYMPTOTIC FORMULAE INVOLVING
SMARANDACHE MULTIPLICATIVE FUNCTIONS
Abstract In this paper, we shall use the analytic method to study the mean value properties
of Smarandache-Type multiplicative function and , and give two

asymptotic formulae for them.

The book contains 41 research papers involving the Smarandache sequences,
functions, or problems and conjectures on them.
All these papers are original. Some of them treat the mean value or hybrid mean value
of Smarandache type functions, like the famous Smarandache function, Smarandache
ceil function, or Smarandache primitive function. Others treat the mean value of some
famous number theoretic functions acting on the Smarandache sequences, like k-th
root sequence, k-th complement sequence, or factorial part sequence, etc. There are
papers that study the convergent property of some infinite series involving the
Smarandache type sequences. Some of these sequences have been first investigated
too. In addition, new sequences as additive complement sequences are first studied in
several papers of this book.
