Preface

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.

American-Romanian number theorist Florentin Smarandache introduced hundreds of interest


sequences and arithmetical functions, and presented many problems and conjectures in his life. In
1991, he published a book named Only problems, Not solutions!. He presented 105 unsolved
arithmetical problems and conjectures about these functions and sequences in it. Already many
researchers studied these sequences and functions from his book, and obtained important results.

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!

1. Introduction
Let be a prime, : be any positive integer, we define two arithmetic func-
tions as following:

:@?BADC.E F)G C KML0:ON C RTU?VK E
<> XWYJ : IW[Z@\]P :#^
L :@?#ADC.E F)G L :ON

In problem 49 and 68 of reference [1], Professor F.Smarandache asked us to


study the properties of these two arithmetic functions. About these problems,
many scholars showed great interests in them (See references [2], [3]). But it
seems that no one knows the relationship between these two arithmetic func-
tions before. In this paper, <we
>_;=<shall

mean value properties of L :@?`? , and give an interesting asymptotic for-
mula for it. That is , we shall prove the following conclusion:

asymptotic formula

Taking Awv , x in the theorem, we may immediately obtain the following

In this section, we shall complete the proof of the theorem. First we need
following one simple Lemma. That is,

Abstract In this paper, similar to the Smarandache © -th power complements, we defined
the additive © -th power complements. Using the elementary method, we study
the mean value properties of the additive square complements, and give some
interesting asymptotic formulae.

Keywords: Additive © -th power complements; Mean value; Asymptotic formula.

For any positive integer : , the Smarandache  >
 -th power complements :@?
is the smallest positive integer such that : ¸ :@? is a complete  -th power, see
problem 29 of [1]. Similar to the Smarandache  > -th power complements, we
define the additive  -th power complements L ¸ :@? as follows: L ¸ > :@? is the

smallest nonnegative integer such that L ¸ :@? h : is a complete  -th power.

A number is a pseudo-multiple of  if some permutation of its digits is a

multiple of  , ­ including the identity permutation. For example: E¤5ET µ ET5E
½ ½ ½ ½

notes the set of all the pseudo-multiple of  numbers. In reference [1], Profes-
sor F. Smarandache asked us to study the properties of the pseudo-multiple of
 sequence. About this problems, it seems that none had studied it, at least we
have not seen such a paper before. In this paper, we use the elementary method
to study the mean value properties of this sequence, and obtain an interesting
asymptotic formula for it. That is, we shall prove the following:

sieve is: from the set of ¸natural numbers (except and T ):
-take off all powers of v ¸ , bŒv ;

-take off all powers of ¸ , bŒv ;
-take off all powers of  ,¸ bŒv ;

ayà CwRyTU?VK E`C.K  for CòbDv (for CÑAdT it is not defined, as ;†> 0!=1! ), therefore
this function is defined for a…bdT . About the properties of :@? , many;2<4people >
had studied it before (See [2], [3]). But for the asymptotic formula of a? , it
seems that no one have studied it before. ;X<=> The main purpose of this paper is to
study the asymptotic properties of a2? , and obtain an interesting asymptotic

In this section,
;<> we complete> the proof of the Á theorem 1. In fact, from the
definition of a? , we have CÈRªTU?VK  g C.K and taking the logistic
computation in the two sides of the inequality, we get

So
a pzr] hl > TU?V^
CÑA pzr  (5)

Similarly, we continue taking logistic computation in two sides of (5), then we
also have
p7r CÑA pzr a hl > pzr†pzr C{?V^ (6)

and
p7r†pzr CÑA l > p7r†pzr a?V^ (7)
The additive analogue of Smarandache simple function 41

Hence, by (5), (6) and (7) we have


;=<> a pzr] hml > UT ?

Abstract The main purpose of this paper is using the elementary method to study the con-

part sequences, and give an sufficient condition of the convergent property of the
series.

multiplicative functions, which are listed in Smarandache’s problems.

C -th power dividing : . The other function © W :@? is denoted as C -th root of
smallest C -th power divisible by : . We will give a few asymptotic formulae
on these two functions. That is, we shall prove the following:

Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to study the mean value properties of the

1. Introduction
A number is called pseudo-even number if some permutation of its digits ­ «
is
½
a even number,
­ « including the identity permutation. For example: µ E¤v5E E E+5E
½ ½
T ETv5ET ET E?T +5E¤v EVv=TE¯¯¯ are pseudo-even numbers. Let denotes the set
of all the pseudo-even numbers. Similarly, we can define the pseudo-odd num-
ber. That is, a number is called pseudo-odd number if some permutation of its
½
digits is an odd number, such as TE¤x5E¤5E  E¤¬5ET ETTEUTv5EUTx=E¯U¯¯ are pseudo-odd
numbers. Let denote the set of all the pseudo-odd numbers.
In reference [1], Professor F. Smarandache asked us to study the properties
of the pseudo-even number sequence and pseudo-odd number sequence. About
these problems, it seems that none had studied them before. In this paper, we
use the elementary method to study the mean value properties of these two
sequences, and obtain some asymptotic formulae for them. That is, we shall
prove the following:

1. Introduction
According to reference [1], a number is called pseudo-even number if some
permutation of its digits­ « is ½a even number,
­ « including the identity permutation.
½ ½
For example: E¤v5E E E +5ET ETv5E…T ET E?T +5E¤v E¤v=TE¯¯¯ are pseudo-even num-
bers. Similarly, a pseudo-odd number is defined that if some permutation of
½
its digits is an oddµ number, such as TE¤x5E¤5E  E¤¬5ET ETTEUTv=ETUx5E¯¯¯ are pseudo-
odd numbers. Let and denote the set of all the pseudo-even numbers and
the pseudo-odd numbers respectively. In addition, a number is called pseudo-
multiple of  if some permutation of the digits is a multiple of  ,­ including the
½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½
identity permutation. For example: E¤5ET ET5E¤v E¤v5E¤x Eqx=E E¤ EV=T!E¯¯¯

2. A Lemma
To complete the proof of the theorems, we need the following lemma:
Lemma. For any real number a{boT , we have the inequalities
¸ Á µi>  > ¸
 a R a?•Â ­  RTU?V¼
¸ Á >  > ¸
 a'R a2?•Â ­  RmTU?V¼
¸ Á P > + > ¸

½ ¸ Á ½ ¸ Z@\
where  is a positive integer such that T {

½ ¸ïÁ ½ ¸ > Á
p ÏÐ aÞÂw h T . According
Proof. Let T aÞµ ªT Z@\ ybªTU? , then  Á
to the definition µ of ¸ set , we know that the largest number of digits ( a ) not
attribute ­ set is  @
Z \ . That is, in these numbers, there are  one digit,¸ they
½ «
are E¤v5E E E + ; There are  j two Á digits; The numberµ of the  digits are  .¸ So
the
H
> ¸ largest Á number
¸ of digits ( a ) not attribute set is  h  j h ¯¯¯ h  A
@
Z \ . Then we get
<  RŒTU? 
¸ Á µi>  > ¸
 a R a?•Â ­  RTU?V^

Use the same method, we may immediately get:


¸ Á >  > ¸
 a'R a2?•Â ­  RmTU?V¼
and ¸ Á P > + > ¸
+ a'R a?[ + RmTU?V^

This proves the Lemma.

3. Proof of the Theorems
Á
Now
Á we prove the Theorems. In fact from the Lemma and note that 
zp r a  h T we have
¸ Á 3 >

Now taking logarithm on both sides of above, we get


pzr

pzr T ½

Use the same method, the following formula will be immediately got.

T

pzr > a R P > a2?`?#A p7r a hml > TU?V^

ON A DUAL OF THE PSEUDO SMARANDACHE
FUNCTION AND ITS ASYMPTOTIC FORMULA

Liu Duansen and Yang Cundian


Institute of Mathematics, Shangluo Teacher’s College, Shangluo, Shaanxi, P.R.China

Abstract In this paper, we study the mean value of the Pseudo Smarandache function and
give an asymptotic formula.

Keywords: Simple numbers; Pseudo Smarandache function; Asymptotic formula.

1. Introduction
According to [1], a number : is called simple number if the product of its
proper divisors is less than or equal to : . For example: 2,µ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21, ¯¯¯ are simple numbers. Let denote the set of
all the simple numbers. In [2], Jozsef Sandor denoted the dual of the Pseudo
Smarandache function by analogy by Û v as following:
> h
> í % ' °C à  v s C C TU? J
Û v :@?BA & :ı!E
v
Remark: >
Û v TU?ÔAªT¼
and ïì ì
> v5E A x
w
Û v ?#A» ìrìI Aw
TE e 5x ^
where is an arbitrary prime. >
In this paper, we study the mean value of Û v :@? and give an asymptotic
formula. That is, we shall prove the following:
Theorem. For any real number ayb£T , we have
e > P a j h P a j hl ~ a j

where \, j are computable constants.

2. Some lemmas
To complete the proof, we need the following lemmas:

Lemma 1. Let â boT be an integer and a prime. Then:


> v5E ìrìI wA x
Û v ã ?BA » ìrì Aë

Proof. This formula can be immediately got from Proposition 1 of [2].


Lemma 2. Let ‘ be a prime such that Awv)‘RT is a prime, too. Then:

Proof. This formulaµ can be immediately got from Proposition 2 of [2].


Lemma 3. Let :.à , then : has the form:

:{A E or j E or Xs E or 5
‘ E

where and ‘ are distinct primes.

where N @ : ? is the divisor function. That is: N @ : ?#A T , then

and
– >@

AŒ: è ŠB ‰ \ (1)
‘ ^

Because : is a simple number, then we have ‘ – @ : ? : , so from (1) we have
58A

: :#^

That is, Á

Then Lemma 3 can be immediately proved from the definition of N @ : ?.

1. Introduction
For any fixed positive integer : , the famous Smarandache ceil function of
order  is defined as folloing:

introduced by Professor Smarandache (see reference [1]), and many scholars
showed great interest in it. For example, Ibstedt [2] and [3] studied this func-
tion both theoretically and computationally, and got the following conclusions:

tion W :@? is the largest C power-free

dache

C power-free number dividing : . That| is,| for

the prime power decomposition :ëA \ 3 j ¯¯¯ ² , W :@? and  W :@? are
presented in the following

It is obvious to show that W :@? and  W :@? are multiplicative functions. In
this paper, we study the mean value properties of these two functions, and give
their asymptotic formulae respectively. That is, we shall prove the following
Theorem 1. Let C b³v is a given integer, then for any real number a{bYT ,

Abstract In this paper, we use the elementary method to study the arithmetical properties
of the © -th power free sieve sequence, and give some interesting identities.

1. Introduction
For any positive integer bŒv , 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 ŠbDv be any positive integer. For any real number } Ý£T ,
we have the identity:
>}
e T ?

H ˆ \ : ä

H( ·

where â,? denotes the Riemann-zeta function.
ä
From this Theorem we may immediately deduce the following:

Corollary. Let be the set of all numbers in the square free sieve sequence,
be the set of all numbers in the cubic free sieve sequence. Then we have the
identities:

Theorem 1. For any real number } Ý , it is clear that

and É | is convergent if Ý T . So from the Euler product formula (See
H ˆ \ :
Theorem 11.6 of [2]) and the definition of the  -th power free sieve sequence,
we have

Now we prove Theorem 2. Similarly, from the Euler product formula and
the definition of the  -th power free sieve sequence, we have

1. Introduction
According to [1], a number : is called simple number if the product of
its proper divisors is less than or equal to : . For example: 2, 3, 4,µ 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21, ¯¯¯ are simple numbers. Let denote
the set of all the simple numbers. Generally speaking, : has the form: :³A
E or j E or s > E or ‘5E where and ‘ are distinct primes. In [2], Jason Earls

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.
